birdz4i Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 William Moore's next paycheck will have a deduction.The Atlanta Falcons strong safety was fined $23,152 by the NFL for his hit on Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jordan Matthews during the Falcon's 26-24 Week 1 win, according to NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport. Moore initiated contact with the crown of his helmet on the play.Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Adam Jones was also fined $35,000 by the league for an unnecessary roughness penalty against the Oakland Raiders, as reported earlier this week.http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000533588/article/atlanta-falcons-safety-william-moore-fined-23k-by-nfl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falconsfan567 Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 So he was fined 12 thousand dollars less that Adam Jones? Lol what a joke.What hit was he even fined for? Also he got less than Jones because Jones is an ******* who did what he did after the play was over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romfal Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 I'm surprised there was no flag on that play when I saw the replay. Not surprised he got fined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romfal Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 So he was fined 12 thousand dollars less that Adam Jones? Lol what a joke.its probably more because Willy Mo is a frequent contributor to the fine account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also im saying Jones should have been fined way more than 35 000 if Willy Mo was fined 23 000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they hand out fines using one of them ping-pong ball machines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free Radical Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Moore ends up ******* up so much when he goes for those helmet shots it's ridiculous. IMO, we should attach a small bungee cord to the back of his helmet and strap it to a belt loop on the back of his pants. Any time he tries to look down, he'd get yanked back up in a hurry.

JC Falcon Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Yea I roared for the hit, but was looking for the flag. That is the definition of leading with the head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndySG Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 It was unnecessary. He could have just smashed him with the shoulder there and had similar impact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaschart Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 I don't know why he leads with his head, it's putting him in as much danger as anyone. Launch the same way, but aim with your shoulder. That's easier said than done at NFL speeds, but that's part of the reason I don't like all the fines. You're running full speed at another guy running full speed who is being pulled down by a teammate, there are a lot of variables to factor in within a very short span of time in order to keep your helmet out of the equation entirely. I am glad Durant didn't get caught in the middle of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allknowing Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 adam jones should have been suspended. the only reason he wasnt is the league is afraid of players going to court now because of all that stupid Brady nonsense. cant believe goodell still has a job.

etherdome Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Moore has the life-long habit of lunging. I don't expect him to change. To be honest, I am tired of his tackling technique. He can make an occasional big hit, but he whiffs too often for my liking. It's too bad. Moore is an experienced and savvy defender. He could be so much more effective, if he wrapped up tackles. Unfortunately, he looks to make the highlight hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldskooler Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 So he was fined 12 thousand dollars less that Adam Jones? Lol what a joke.The reality is that Moore's hit was far more likely to injure himself and/or Matthews than Jones' immature antics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clark Kent™ Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 I was looking for a flag when i saw that hit as well, but i don't have a problem with him doing it in all honesty. I want as much physicality as we can get. Hits like that do pay off in games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvinthemartian Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 its probably more because Willy Mo is a frequent contributor to the fine account.And Adam Jones is the poster boy for good behavior???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xiv_T_E_C_O_ Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 The league looks like a joke, if you put these two incidents side by side there is no comparison. Jones ripped a guys helmet off and then proceeded to use it as a weapon, and there is no question about the deliberate intentions. Moore made a hit within the confines of the game, you can argue that it was illegal or deliberate but you'd have a really hard time proving so.

Moore made a hit within the confines of the game, you can argue that it was illegal or deliberate but you'd have a really hard time proving so.Moore was also far more likely to do serious harm to himself or Matthews. At the end of the day, player safety is the point of these fines. I have no problem with Moore's fine, and I've gotten so sick of seeing him launch himself at WRs that I'm ready to move on from him. That said, Adam Jones is a punk, and I would be perfectly ok with any fine the league thought he deserved on that play. I guess what I'm saying is both of these guys have earned these fines through their body of work, and I don't really care about comparing them to eachoher in a vacuum in honor of "fairness".

Atlfanstckndenver Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Frankly I was ok with the hit even if it was penalized. I rather that than him Jack his shoulder up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakelsta30 Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Honestly. Moore's hit won us the game. I knew it'd be fined immediately. But You know that hit had to rattle Matthews when he was going over the middle against Worrilow on the last play. If he's confident there, he makes that catch, gets laid out by Worrilow and the drive continues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
