Why is Fletcher getting all the credit for that 4th & inches tackle? That guy was still moving towards the line when Wire slammed him back. Sure, London had him around the waist and was trying his best to contain him, but I think Wire needs to get some credit for the final blow!
Fletcher or Wire?

Your right about Wire's help, but you can't discount the fact that Fletcher stood Stewart up. Fletcher read the play and clogged the hole while Stewart clearly had a full head of steam and all the momentum. Your right, it's a team effort, but Flethcer deserves most of the credit for that play - he was the cause.Last edited by RedEyE; 10-28-2002, 10:41 PM.

Oh c'mon. Watch the replay from behind. Fletcher stepped into the hole, got down real low, and drove into a charging Stewart with his legs and stopped him cold with brute force. Stewart MIGHT (I repeat, might) have been able to twist around for the first down so Coy finishing him off was key insurance, but London made 95% of that tackle at least.
Quite frankly I didn't think he had it in him to stuff a power back like that but he did and it was very impressive.

I totally agree with Halbert and as I watch JJamezz's video many times, I paused it and it looked like Stewart couldn't move at all with Fletcher's hold on him and Eddie Robinson's hold from the back, but then Coy Wire comes at the end, close to when the play was whistled dead, and levels Stewart. He has a full head of steam and charges Stewart to the ground with the two LBs grabbing hold, taking them all down to the ground!

By the way...#51...Dashon Polk also stepped in and gave some of his gave to help get Stewart down to the ground. Oh, and you gotta love the way London Fletcher runs away from the pile at the end and goes to the middle of the field to point at the Bills logo!

What a play!!! Fletcher deserves the credit, but i must reiterate that i really, really like Coy Wire....that kid is intense!
Oh c'mon....you just think he's cute.
As far as DaShon Polk, he did a decent job earlier in the game as well when he stepped in for Keith Newman.

None of us will ever know what would have happened without Wire's help. Fletcher could have just as easily lost his grip as he could have over powered the guy. But since Wire DID help (tremendously I might add) my point is Wire needs to get some credit for the final blow! He didn't seem to get enough credit from anyone IMO. That's all.I didn't come here to fight, I hate fighting. Life is way too short to spend it on fighting! Go fight with yourself, one of you will eventually win!

Alot of linebackers couldnt of made that stop, but any FS in the league could have pushed Stewart back, Fletch made that play, But wire is coming along great, i cant wait till next year wire will be a real player, hopefully he will work hard this offseason
