Just as a complete aside, anyone remember the time J. Washington broke a long run and, after about 10-15 yards, tried to juke a couple of tacklers, cut back up on his run, literally ran in a circle avoiding tacklers, and, instead of actually tackling him, the defenders hemmed him in against the sideline - he came to a complete stop and then he and the defenders stared at each trying to figure out what to do next until he finally just stepped out of bounds. After the play (which seemed to take about 45 seconds), the cameras cut to Gibbs watching the play and he was laughing his head off as J. Washington ran around and finally just sorta had to stop. It looked like farmhands trying to tackle a greased pig.
I think it was in the regular season Oakland game of the '82 season (when we met them in the superbowl).
