Two of Theo Riddick’s fellow Lions running backs tried to clarify which play from last Monday’s win over the Saints they had been asked to discuss.
“The one where he shook him?” Ameer Abdullah said.
“Oh, you talking about when he was giving out free passes to the skate park?” Joique Bell added.
On Riddick’s 21-yard catch, the way in which he dodged New Orleans linebacker Dannell Ellerbe can best be described in metaphors
Riddick put him on skates, as Bell said. He broke his ankles. He shook him out of his shoes.
Riddick’s juke move was so impressive that much of the home crowd reacted audibly, making the sound synonymous with jaw-dropping.
