Can we discuss Seattle’s dirty plays?

[Alexander]

Must be going over my head....what was dirty?

One example:

 

[JayFord]

Like the league cares weather another team tried to hurt us

They let team slaughter romo

 

[MyFairLady]

Since Carroll got there Seattle has been scum bags for sure. Play dirty. The DBs taught to hold on every play and eventually the refs stop calling it. Cheating whenever possible. Complete D bags.

Clay Matthews had at least 2 late hits on Romo that weren't called in the 2014 playoff game. Every game it seemed like there was a late hit on him that wasn't called.

no we wouldn't, dirty is dirty.

Yea man I’m not gonna be excited to see my guy end Tyler Lockett’s career that’s awful it’s just a game

At 5:17 left in the second quarter frank Clark goes after zekes ankle and twists it. Who knows how much we missed in the dog piles.

Nah it’s a coincidence Clark did that and hurns snapped his leg and cooper and Beasley all twisted their ankles. And fluker late on jaylon.

And the defender twisting Tyrone Crawford neck two weeks after he was on a stretcher.

Pure coincidence!

Man I just watched the Clark on Zeke play again. He should be fined big time for that. That was like an mma move to try to break his ankle. Bush league!

Dont forget the defender trying to break Zeke's fingers on his stiff arm.

 

[CWR]

The Clark business looked much worse than it was. Zeke didn’t even flinch, but okay, if you really want to take umbrage about it. Fine. Clark is a trash bag.

But the Beasley and Hurns tackles supposedly being intentional (i.e. to hurt each player)? That’s called tackling. I’ve seen that same play a million times, but it typically results in a high ankle sprain.

How bout the defender trying to snap Zeke fingers?

Can't tell if you're being serious....

 

[Tass]

I saw a Seattle LBer (#50, maybe?) land on top of Jarwin and then after they were down, drive his forearm right into Jarwin's throat/Adam's Apple.

Right in front of an official. Not a single f**k was given.

Seattle is dirty dirty, y'all.

 

[BotchedLobotomy]

no we wouldn't, dirty is dirty.

Put your big boy pants on, the NFL gets a little rough sometimes.

@NFL @dallascowboys I was at the game last night and the Hurns injury was gruesome, but avoidable. In my day, if a guy jumped on the back of your legs, he was declared a dirty player. This is worst than the horse collar. There were 2 other similar players with Coop and Beasley.

 

[cguy610]

OMG, this is one dirty team.

 

[MizzouCowboy4]

Watch how 30 rides up on the back of his legs. You can't tell me he didn't do it on purpose. He basically sat on Hurns' ankle.

Number 30 was dirty all nite

If that’s what they did in broad daylight I can only imagine how bad it got.

Seemingly the players have a code to not gossip about what happens on the field. So Jason Garrett needs to send a tape in to the league here.

Does this even mean anything or is it a thing you’ve heard others say?

 

[Aven8]

I said this in another thread but they had Wright holding and PI all night. It worked once and didn’t the second time around. That’s been a staple for Carroll coaches teams for years. They can’t call everything mentality.

Thanks for posting the video and providing sound analysis. Some people sincerely believe all tackling is the same and that injuries occur by accident. Such belief is self-falsehood. Anyone can analyze ANY tackle, see how applied force is used by the tackler, and make a clear determination whether the tackle itself was excessive.

Maybe each tackler's intention can be debated. Every tackler does not necessarily intend to cause a game ending or season ending injury. However, intent is not always relevant. The result is relevant depending on how the tackle was performed. Hurns' injury could have been easily minimized or prevented while permitting the tackler to get him to the ground.

This is an EXCELLENT posting. Everyone should pay attention to the Hawk Tackling segment.

The technique is sound upon initial contact between ball carrier and tackler. The tackler takes the legs out from under the ball carrier. The technique can become *intentionally* convoluted when the ball carrier's legs cannot be bind immediately and the danger to the ball carrier's lower legs region increases exponentially the longer the ball carrier's feet remain in motion. Any physics safety limit gets erased when applied force/torque becomes a significant factor with the knee and ankle joints. Applied force is less for the upper and lower leg bones or even feet but just as evident.

It is a good technique if the tackler can get the ball carrier onto the ground upon first contact. It is not so much one when the ball carrier's lower body remains in motion.
