quotemokc Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Didn't get him high, didn't lead with the helmet, Mayfield was out of the pocket and is considered a runner. What more does the NFL want? But oh no he hit him a split second late because he can disobey the laws of physics.

Flyin' In DC Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 It was a late hit and he could have pulled up. But, he sure as **** should not be fined. It wasn't dirty, to the head or with his helmet. Just a little late Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

32wood84white Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 I get what he is saying but the rules are the rules no matter what people think of them. Unfortunately either you play it like Vic did against the Vikings and people get upset or you get flagged for going through with the hit. IMO he could have done more to not lay him out but that’s my opinion. Also, I didn’t see the Falcons playing two hand touch on Sunday night. You can very much still be extremely physical but you have to be smart about it. Thats just how it is now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't dirty, to the head or with his helmet. Just a little late Disagree that this was late. What happens if Baker pump fakes there, and doesn't release the ball? Then you have defensive players letting up due to the assumption a runner will go out of bounds, or assumption a QB will throw the ball, (like Beasley did against Cousins last week). Adams was already engaged, and his momentum was taking him into the runner, before he knew the QB released the ball.

Diesel_Bird Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 I agree the nfl has gotten soft. It’s vary hard to lay off when moving at the speed they are moving. Having said that, Sunday night was one of the more entertaining games I’ve watched in a while from a standpoint of how physical we were being PokerSteve and papachaz 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was also a guy named Chuck Hughes. This poor soul died of a heart attack on the field. They may not tackle like they used to but in some way things are better now.

slider Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 The NFL is so concerned with hits that are too hard yet they allow players to wear little to no padding. They're practically wearing shorts out there. Everybody's worried about the helmet, how 'bout lets put some shoulder pads on and intercept and cushion some of those that go to the head now.

This is a great point. I'm seeing guys out there with no cups, no thigh pads, hair being allowed outside of the helmet, no mouthguards, altering the length of the shoulder pads, etc. papachaz, slider and Spts1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a rule they changed a few years back. What player do you see without thigh pads? And what player do you see with no mouthguard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New NFL rules: Leg, thigh pads are mandatory to protect players NEW RULE: The requirement to wear leg and thigh pads for all players. What the rule changes: It will require all players to wear pads on the legs and thighs. Why the change was made: For decades players have been balking at wearing leg pads because they thought the pads were slowing them down.

Not saying that you're wrong regarding the rule, just relayed what I saw. I don't think they're enforcing those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emmitt Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 If the entire defense continues to lay the wood on each play, they can’t fine us for every play, right? I’m surprised we didn’t get any fines from that abuse we were handing out to the Eagles. Not to be mean, but some of those guys were walking around like they took a shot from Tyson in his prime.

You can very much still be extremely physical but you have to be smart about it. Thats just how it is now. What Adams did wasn't a penalty in my opinion. He hit him clean and hard just like Debo hit Wentz on Sunday. I'm fine if they throw a flag, since it's subjective, but the NFL doubling down and fining him is where I have the problem. You can't ask the players to hit in a certain strike zone and then penalize them when they do. I get the refs don't have the luxury of slow mo when they are calling their plays, but the NFL does when assessing fines.
