Now my bro says...and I really don't know...but he was wondering if Raynor saw the kick block coming and just went ahead and drove it off to the side to prevent a block, recovered ball and run back by the Jags.

I don't have tivo so I couldn't go and rewatch it.

I wonder if my brother is just trying to make Raynor feel better about the flub up.

I saw the same thing and wondered about that too. Thanks for posting because I was starting to doubt that I'd really seen it. The announcers didn't mention it, Herm didn't cut Rayner any slack in the postgame presser, none of the players mentioned it that I know of, and I hadn't seen it here until now. It looked like that guy just leaped over the center and was in perfect position to block that kick to me.
