The word“beast” in relation to sports, especially football, is quite the compliment. It usually means“powerful” or“can’t be stopped,” and in relation to Roddy White, the word“beast,” qualified with the world“subtle” is a perfect description. White is a beast because anyone that puts up these numbers against a defense like Baltimore’s is a true beast: 12 catches (none bigger than his last one), 138 yards and two touchdowns.

There isn’t a wide receiver in the NFL who wouldn’t want those numbers, nor a coach or quarterback who wouldn’t want that kind of production.

The reason the word“subtle” works as an adjective has to do with the nice, littlepush offWhite executed to free himself up for the game-winning catch and score. Furthermore, he copped to it as well:

They were double covering him. It left me wide open, with one-on-one coverage. He tried to grab me, and I just pushed him down.

And the officials watching the play did absolutely nothing about it. Perhaps they didn’t see White extend his arm, or perhaps they overlooking the contact between White and Josh Wilson, because both players used their arms.

It’s just that White got the better of the exchange and turned the space he created into the game-winner. So yeah,“subtle” is a word that fits just fine, because the officials acted like they didn’t even see the exchange.

In other news, how good are the Atlanta Falcons? Do they remind anyone of a Super Bowl contender?
