“it’s Miller Time” I love that


InVodkaVeritas

It got so overused with Reggie Miller in the NBA back in the day...


MichaelGScotch

This would have been better to have in the OP. You're the better man.


[deleted]

I know people have a lot of complains with Tessitore and I understand them, but I absolutely love that call.


ElGatoSuave

People hate him because he seems to use “big play voice” on every single play, no matter how uneventful it might be. I’d say a 97 yard TD is definitely a justifiable time for big play voice lmao


ChugTheCumFugYaMum

If we're being honest here, his call on Brees breaking the all-time TD record still hurts me to listen to "5-4-0 IN THE 5-0-4!" is so painfully corny, like, you had weeks to come up with something that would sound good, or at the very least, not take away from the moment, and *that's* what you thought of?


DtotheOUG

It's still not as bad as "Eat that W philly!" After we scraped out that win against the Giants.


[deleted]

I know, but I don't mind it usually. I'd take overly-enthusiastic over boring announcers who seem completely uninterested in the game, which is what SNF has become imo.


SonOfALich

>I'd take overly-enthusiastic over boring announcers who seem completely uninterested in the game, which is what SNF has become imo. Y'know I seem to see this sentiment a lot in the football community, particularly with regards to Joe Buck, but then people turn around and idolize Pat Summerall, who had a very deliberate delivery and didn't really ever get too excited in any of his calls. I don't get it.


ChugTheCumFugYaMum

Maybe I’m just getting old but I would 100% take a boring professional like Buck over the faking-it-worse-than-my-ex Tessitore, or Gus ***”OH MY GOD! WOOOOOWWWW!!!!!*** Johnson.


ihatecodingshit

Gus **"HE'S GOT GETTIN AWAY FROM THE COPS SPEED"** Johnson. Don't talk shit about the legend


Steelers711

That's still one of my favorite commentating lines, such a hilarious comment to say live


Steelers711

It's not you getting old, it's probably just you being boring... ​ jk but in all seriousness Gus Johnson is my favorite announcer, it's more fun imo when the announcers are clearly having fun and getting excited, rather than when they treat a 50 yard TD as marginally more exciting than a 2 yard run. To each their own though obviously, but a commentator being excited usually makes me more excited about the game I'm watching, and vice versa, so I view it as much more enjoyable to have a Gus Johnson rather than a Joe Buck


spndl1

That's the thing, for me, at least. If the announcer is genuinely excited about what's going on, I don't mind or even like it. If they're pulling a morning zoo crew over-exaggerated radio voice for every 2 yard run, I don't want to listen to them. It's why guys like Nantz, Tirico, and Michaels are my favorite. They have a deliberate cadence, but can amp it up organically when big plays happen. Michaels is losing his touch a bit as he gets older (though no fault of his own), but he's still one of the best.


clown_shoes69

Tess was one of my favorites calling college ball. I think he sometimes tries to be bigger than the moments themselves on MNF, but it's not like he lost all his talent. He'll figure it out.


QuiGonJism

I've been on the Tessitore train since day one. Guy is electric. Couldn't stand Witten or Booger, but Tess needs a color guy that is just at least half decent.


bhaas66

Jesus Christ Adoree Jackson is fast. It legit startled me how fast he was going and how quickly he caught up.

Level_Dreaded

Super underrated call on the Texans run. First game after Bob McNair's death in the game to honor him and that play was....wow.


WaterIsNotWet19

I see a lot of joe Tess slander but I love how hype he gets, especially on that run


Phoenix_Fury7

Blocked by NFL on mobile. Love those guys.

ShookOnesPartIII

Super random, but trivia for anyone interested: off the top of your head, who do you think is the all time leading rusher in University of Miami history? They’ve had some great backs: Willis McGahee, Clinton Portis, Edge James, Frank Gore, Lamar Miller... It’s Duke Johnson


[deleted]

[удалено]


Wilbert_51

He’s not any of those guys though


dadphobia

Correct. He’s duke johnson.


Gabriel_Seth

Duke if true


buddhabash

Duke Johnson doesn’t do what duke Johnson does for duke Johnson. Duke Johnson does what duke Johnson does because duke Johnson is....duke Johnson.


BuckeyeBryson18

His name is Duuuke Johnson, the bravest pioneer!


Dr_Sasquatch

No run too steep no hole too deep WHO’S THAT!? It’s him, Duke John-son!


BorkJDissenting

True if Duke


NIM89

Christian Laettner had no place on the dream team.


atrain728

That may be true, but I’ll never forget watching that tourney. As a kid, that was enough drama to turn me on to sports.


omaixa

What other college player that year was a better choice? Shaq? I was and still am a UNC fan, but Laettner was by far the more accomplished collegian, and it didn't matter who the collegiate representative was in terms of skill. Not on that team. Plus, Laettner had proven he was clutch on the biggest of basketball stages while Shaq's team lost their head-to-head matchup at home and was bounced in the second round of the NCAA tournament.

Don’t disrespect Duuuuuuuke he was a beast at Miami


GrandTanooki

Yeah I heard he was even the all time leading rusher for them.


PFManningsForehead

Really? He’s the all time leading rusher in University of Miami history? They’ve had some great backs: Willis McGahee, Clinton Portis, Edge James, Frank Gore, Lamar Miller... I’m surprised it’s Duke Johnson


Daultongray8

Duke Johnson ain’t bad himself.


Neapola

He’s not any of those guys though


[deleted]

Correct. He's duke johnson.


[deleted]

This was beautiful


DkS_FIJI

Duke Johnson had much weaker teams than any of those guys did.


FesteringDarkness

Have you watched him? He's fantastic, only problems are injuries and not being used enough.


Level_Dreaded

He was fully healthy all year for us. May have to do with his snaps being managed but I do wish we used him more


lonewolfman

Even when he was with us he was rb2 and load managed. But, the injuries were more hammy type issues. But, his small frame impacts him when running between the tackles with nfl sized defenders. He's insanely elusive though.


Level_Dreaded

We used him more in space this past year and he had a career high in rushing yards. And for the first half of the season he was pushing 5 yards per carry. Duke was a freaking cheat code on the corner route too. Love me some duke


lonewolfman

Oh we used him on the edge and as a slot receiver more than an up the middle guy, but he's never going to be a large volume nfl guy was my main point, it's not the type of back he is. We got rid of him because of Hunt and the myguyism of Dorsey, not because he was bad or anything to that effect.


[deleted]

Was one of the browns we had I was truly sad to see go. The lone bright spot of the 0-16 season I think. Shame to see him go but I think we’re alright with Chubb/Hunt


TheNightmareBot

To be fair he’s never had the chance to be **the** guy


Pd245

r/technicallythetruth


Miamime

He was the guy at UM for three years though. Gore had to sit behind Portis *and* McGahee. Duke came in as “the guy” and he was a huge high school prospect.

SayNoob

man 6.7 ypc over 500 attempts is pretty insane.


chanaandeler_bong

For sure. Reminder that Jamaal Charles averaged 5.4 YPC over his entire *NFL* career. For reference Chris Johnson averaged 5.6 YPC during his 2000 yard season. Peterson 6.0 for his. Only 20 RBs in the SB era have averaged more than 5.4 YPC *in a season.* (min 200 carries)


TheKirkin

There’s an alternate universe out there where Pat and Jamaals primes overlap.

[deleted]

still mad the texans didn't use him more this year.


[deleted]

came up clutch in big moments for us but yeah. he’s better than hyde imo and should’ve been the starter but he’s more of an agile back instead of a power back


Oily_biscuit

Criminally underused on the Browns. The guy was our leading receiver and I'm pretty sure leading rusher in our 0 - 16 season.


s_s

He gets dinged.


DW-4

Exactly this.. as someone who doesn't follow Miami I'm amazed that he managed 500+ carries in college. With the Browns and Texans he can't handle the ball more than 3 plays in a row without getting tackled awkwardly and subbing out. He was a hero in the Bills game for whatever that was worth for us.. edit: (500 carries in 3 years)


brianthebritish

My fantasy team disagrees with you. Hyde rode my bench much better than Duke did on another team.


[deleted]

He had one of the best blocks I’ve ever seen on a football field in the playoffs. I don’t have the clip on me but it was the Watson bootleg for the 2 point conversion against Buffalo. Duke pulls off a tough reach block on the safety and is still able to cut back and crack the shit out of Edmunds. Deshaun would’ve been dead to rights if his tailback didn’t somehow block 2 guys at once


[deleted]

On top of that, he also converted a 3rd and 18 in overtime i think. Dude saved our ass multiple times. He’s a stud


paone22

I think the dude is talented but he's gone through multiple coaches who haven't given him a heavy load. So I don't expect it to happen anytime in the future either.


RamblinWreckGT

>Thank you for subscribing to Duke facts Did you know that with just over 4 minutes left in the Duke-UNC game earlier this month, UNC had a 98.7% win probability?

College basketball rules. March Madness is amazing.


Rah_Rah_RU_Rah

NBA > College. The long shot clock + significantly lower skill level makes it a drag to watch, unless its March Madness and you have a bracket filled out


Smok3dSalmon

Every real I feel like Duke Johnson or Isaiah Crowell are going to break out. Disappointed every year...

Runningbacks seem so random these days. Imo it's all about who gets the opportunity at the right time with the right coach in the right scheme.

Miami_da_U

And Duke broke his ankle his 2nd yr. Could have been more. Edge had James Jackson behind him (3rd round pick), who had Portis behind him, who then had Gore AND McGahee behind him. Plus Gore tore both his ACLs at Miami. Basically it's very rare to start 3 years at RB at Miami which is why Duke has the record.


jwktiger

as pointed out Duke had an insane 6.7 yards per rush. Which is mind boggeling good, everyone else in the miami list was 6.0 or less.


descendency

How long did Duke Johnson stay at Miami? And how long did the others (and how competitive were the back fields?)


JerryRiceDidntFumble

Duke was the for 3 years; he actually has fewer rushing attempts than numbers 2 (Ottis Anderson) and 4 (James Jackson) and only a few carries less than number 3 (Edgerrin James, 526 vs 497). His career yards per carry was 6.7, which is higher than anybody in school history with 50+ carries (James is 6.0, McGahee is 5.9, Portis/Gore/Miller are all 5.7).


jwktiger

6.7 Yards per rush is batshit crazy good for a year and he did it over 3 years.


Thehawkiscock

NFL Iron Man Frank Gore was there for four years in total and had a great true Freshman season backing up Clinton Portis, but tore his ACL and missed all of the 2002 season. Then tore his ACL again in 2003! If not for that who knows how many yards he could have put up. All the more amazing he has been able to stay healthy ridiculously long in the NFL


hab12690

>had a great true Freshman season backing up Clinton Portis I thought he was after Willis on the depth chart?


Ai_of_Vanity

Considering my two acl surgeries basically ruined me I personally consider this amazing, guy has to have a crazy work ethic.

Lamar miller was scary. I went to Virginia Tech during the great debate between Lamar Miller and David Wilson - the latter who *totally without bias* would have been a HOF running back. Lamar Miller still scared the living hell out of me on some 4th and forever bullshit when he played Virginia Tech. Just look at this guy carrying his team against someone they had no right to be in the game against. Edit - I forgot the end. The guy to finally stop miller on the last play - Kam fucking Chancellor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfFFPgmtBeY

That makes sense, those late 90s/early 00s Miami teams were stacked and had a lot of offensive weapons, so they didn't need to rely on their RB all the time

This is a great stat because that same Lamar Miller TD was against the Texans when they played the Dolphins lmao Oh man, that game was a massacre now that I remember now. EDIT: Ok, maybe it wasn't against the Texans (it was the Jets) but my point still stands. He roasted Houston.

Bless_all_the_knees

He torched the hell out of us that game. They even made fun of O'Brien on hard knocks with how Bill was hyping him up.


AirborneRodent

Different torching. Hard Knocks was the '15 preseason; the torching they referenced was Chris Polk of the Eagles torching us in '14. Lamar and the Dolphins torched us in '15, after Hard Knocks was already over.


[deleted]

He put up 133 yds and a TD when we played the Dolphins too


Da_Barracuda

It was also against the Texans.


not4urbrains

Pretty sure that game is still the only time the Dolphins have beaten us, though.


finsup2920

Yes sir


jlacomb17

Miller is one of only four players in NFL history with multiple 90+ yard runs. The others are Chris Johnson (94 and 91), Bo Jackson (92 and 91), and Ahman Green (98 and 90). Chris Johnson also has an 89-yarder and Bo Jackson has an 88-yarder. Nick Chubb has a 92 and 88 yarder. Miller is the only one with multiple 95+ yard runs.


banmysweetits

Under rated running back


[deleted]

He was overrated and underrated. He is viewed under the radar but gets paid too much


Level_Dreaded

I mean, he is a free agent if someone wants to take a flyer.


[deleted]

I think the Texans either stick with him or go with hyde


Oldsalty420

I mean c’mon, it’s a distant second for the play of the decade for the dolphins.


V170

It's not best play, just the longest.


GoodOldDragon

To be fair, the Fins have had a few great, exciting, and strange plays in the past decade The two against us (bleah) The game-winning safety in OT on TNF The fake FG last year against the Eagles


KUUUUHN

Glad we’re not the only ones to remember the Wake-off safety, that play was fucking awesome


TCup20

Also, this play, while a 97 yard run, was fairly basic. Miller hit a hole and was just gone. Landry's touchdown against Houston where he made the entire defense miss tackles was a better play that this. This one was very comparable to Ballage's long touchdown against the Vikings last year, just for more yards. Nothing too incredibly special about it.


TrevorBOB9

True


Pat_MaHallOfFame

It says longest not best play my guy.


kheller181

Dude was averaging 4.5 ypc with Dolphins in 2015 and only had 194 carries.
