That would explain my difficulty in finding it. After watching the clip, I remember being at the game during the hit.

Thanks!

Classic Tate response: Barry Church? Never heard of him.

I always thought responses like this were dumb. It just makes you look like you don't study film at all.

I thought his other response was much better when he said something like "As long as it's within the rules, bring it on".

I like how it's golden tate's fault that sean lee runs down the field without ever looking at where he's going.

because there aren't 21 other guys on the field he could possibly run into/be blocked by or anything, poor baby.

Yeah I never understood why everyone got so butthurt about that play. I thought it was a great block by Tate and poor awareness by Lee. Tate was just doing his job.

I love that block. The fact everyone is so butthurt is even better. I hope Tate steals Church's lunch money.

Its so cute how Barry Church is swooping in to defend Sean Lee who is obviously unable to defend himself as evidenced in this video!

I think it's great. It's by far the best way to condescendingly dismiss/belittle the person coming at you.

Ugarte: You despise me, don't you?
Rick: If I gave you any thought, I probably would.

Not really, most of the opposing players are identified by their number not their name in that regard.

Tate's block on Lee, a player much bigger that Tate, with inertia on Lee's side, is the ultimate demonstration of how the proper use of pad level and leverage can knock anyone on their butt. "Keep your head up and your butt low" was the mantra of my high school positional coach. That was forty years ago. The basic physics of football have always been the same. Like mathematical axioms, they stand the test of time.

It was an outstanding, legal block.

THIS.

Lee got blown up because he didn't consider a smallish WR as a risk and was focused on catching and harming Russell Wilson.

It was an all-time* great LEGAL block by a smaller football player on a bigger football player who should have known better. I've watched the video several times, and in no way was it a cheap shot. Lee saw but just didn't process Tate as a threat, in fact actively ignored him in his pursuit of Wilson. Lee paid the price.

* all-time is a bit of hyperbole, I mean it is one of MY all-time favorite videos as a Seahawk fan to watch, possibly top of the list for a legal block. Yes, behind Beastquake and others, but still an all-timer. Also loved the block in preseason on Eric Berry that resulted in the great picture of Berry upside down in the air as Wilson runs by in the foreground. (So sad about Berry's cancer, prayers are with ya, dude!)

Anyone notice the Dallas-Detroit Drama Queen announcers describing the Tate block on Lee as a "cheap shot"? Well, that's what they do, stir up drama. So, no surprise.
