SpecialK has heaps of impact, but it's his 1%ers and physical presence that allows people around him to win the football. The shepherds, the bumps and work he puts into blocking or making space that creates time and space for opponents but doesn't get him the credit he deserves from fans.
If fans spend some time watching opponents chase him around the ground instead ball watching they will get it! The real football happens well before the ball arrives, it's always been that way wit the better players and it's a major reason why some fans don't get players like sMurph and Gibbs yet their peers do!
