“In any return, there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s one guy who\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not blocked. And your job as the return man is to make that guy miss. If you can do that, you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve got a chance to take it all the way.”<\/p>\n

Kevin Faulk<\/a> told me that in respect to Ellis Hobbs<\/a>‘ NFL record 108-yard kickoff return TD on opening weekend of the 2007 season. (That’s right, you can read Faulk’s comments and more in Game Changers: The Greatest Plays in New England Patriots History<\/a><\/em>.)<\/p>\n

I got to thinking about Hobbs’ play yesterday after Brandon Tate<\/a> took the opening kickoff of the second half 97 yards for a touchdown. (Hobbs’ TD also came on the opening kickoff of the second half.)<\/p>\n

Thought about it more as I watched and rewatched the Tate play last night. It’s a really pretty return. Tate gets one really good block (I think it’s Rob Gronkowski<\/a> who throws it), but other than that, it’s all about the second-year WR\/kick returner, who’s healthy for the first time in his NFL career and showing great promise.<\/p>\n

The play’s not a game changer, mind you. The Pats had the thing well in hand by the end of the first half. But it did pretty much ice the thing.<\/p>\n

NFL.com won’t let me embed the video here, but ya gotta go check it out.<\/a><\/p>\n
