Izo#2883 Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Cedric Benson lowering his shoulders (thereby also his head, almost like a ram) going into the head of Thomas DeCould.Im not whining about this, but seeing that hit really makes me think that that specific style of running is something the NFL must adress!!

M0D3RNW4RR10R Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Sorry, Thomas DeCoud doesn't have much market value. Those rules don't apply to him./sarcasm. It's a lost art. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izo#2883 Posted October 24, 2010 Author Share Posted October 24, 2010 50k fine for Benson too please, this is nonsense.Im not saying that Benson should be fined, Im just saying that the RB in this case is seriously part of why DeCould is injured, and regardless of being a runner or not it is very dangerous. Imagine if DeCould have tried to form tackle him there.. I cant even think of the consequences.I know our own RB does this as well, but still, it needs to be adressed if the NFL is really concerned about the life altering injuries in football.If they dont, I think they are seriously displaying double standards.

As I said, its something that must be adressed league wide, not just Benson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoooooooon4MVP Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 maybe we should get rid of the facemasks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izo#2883 Posted October 24, 2010 Author Share Posted October 24, 2010 There is a defenseless rule for widerecievers, because they cannot react or defend themselfs against a tackle, when trying to catch the ball.Why would a rule that defends a defender who has engaged a tackle to the opponent, against a move that puts him in jeopardy of being hit to the head be a bad idea?You might think Im joking, but Im quite serious. I dont see the difference. WR's go after the ball, defenders go after the ballcarrier. Where is the difference..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
