It is rare that one game contains two Titanic efforts such that two hawks can be seen flying above the competition. Think about it, Smokin’ Joe and Ali, Russell and Wilt. How many incredible tandem efforts have been seen in sport history? Rare. And rare only because it takes the touch of the creator to deliver one such effort, the will of humanity can be so great that it takes enormous providence to bless us with so much more. And twice that blessing?
Miraculous
In every sense of the word.
Stunned I watched play after play of Harrison rushing the ball. I could see it coming last week. His burst was elite. Unheard of, rarely seen. I knew a defense playing poorly would have an incredibly difficult day against him from the moment I saw him. You see their is speed and there is acceleration. Even in the NFL. Tired legs, physical peaking, all of that matters. And James Harrison was running as if every one else was standing still from the moment I saw him.
A truly elite speed. He looked quicker by tenths of a second than Chris Johnson. No easy feat.
And it was that speed and that intensity on display against the hapless Chiefs. 34 for 286 yards. Three TDs. The third highest total in the history of the league.
That’s an accomplishment. Period. On a team like the Browns that’s a multi year multimillion dollar job security performance. I’d be on the phone now. And this is what makes his performance so special here at the Black Beast, You see by serendipity, the Gods of injury have given your team your leader, your Hawk. The player who will set your teams intensity, inspire others to win, will them to greatness and shown that draft boards and the NFL do not make Ballas, but rather heart, will, desire and skill. And none of that in equal measure. And a Hawk may be found any where. Canada. Europe. BLACK COLLEGES, It does not matter, the NFL’s elitism not withstanding.
No need to worry about quality about performance despite his unheralded status Mr. Holmgrem this man is a Black Beast who performed as a Hawk and who could be Hawk of the year with that performance, which I watched twice.
All of this said, it makes the feat of his Hawk mate that much more fantastic. Over and over again I watched this man run these kicks back. I absolutely love this spin move because I teach it as a staple in Hawk, the martial art form I teach to football players. It is worth noting again that it is not that he did it which is remarkable since there have been two other players who’ve done two kick returns this year for TDs, but rather that he did it on a day when his team mate passed the great Jim Brown and a host of hall of famers for rushing yards in a game. Usually a team watches one flaming Hawk set the intensity and tempo of a game. But here, because this man is a true Black Beast Hawk receiving his second Black Beast of the week award for a performance on the day that his team mate absolutely decimated the opposition, this is so rare it must be acknowledged on the same level. But rather than so many words we will let the video speak..
