Still looking for the freight train that plowed him under in Baltimore, Sav Rocca wasn't necessarily impressed by the hit that sent him sprawling.
The 6-5 Aussie, whose game back home consists of full contact sans pads, isn't exactly your typical defenseless punter.
"As soon as it happened, I was, like, where the hell did he come from?" Rocca laughed. "But it's fine. If that's the best he's got, good luck to him."
The hit, delivered in the fourth quarter after Rocca boomed his biggest bomb of the night, earned Michael Gasperson a flag for protecting Rocca, the officials an earful from Andy Reid, who wasn't happy the flag was thrown, and Gasperson a newfound friend.
"It's always good to know your mates have your back," Rocca said.
