DMN Blog: Ware fined 12,500 for hit on Kitna

[BehindEnemyLinez]

If T-New hadn't made those comments earlier in the week then he wouldn't owe D-Ware 12,500K!! :laugh2: And he better pay that man because he might not have been fined had it not been for him running his mouth!

yeah that is the problem with what he did, it wasnt really late, but you cant continue the play like he did plus you can not scoop him up like that and slam him down with your weight on him.

he did it to marshal faulk n no fine

You can scoop and slam... this was on a QB though and we all know how that goes.

DMN Blog: Ware fined 12,500 for hit on Kitna

$1.00 per Cowboyszone member just about covers it... make Reality and Hostile pay the difference

 

[AdamJT13]

Any penalty for unnecessary roughness, roughing the passer, etc., almost always draws a fine -- unless the NFL determines that the penalty wasn't warranted. So nobody should be surprised when a Cowboys player gets fined for a penalty like that. It would be unusual if there wasn't a fine.

Ware drives Kitna into the turf

In the minority but personally, I thought he should have been fined.

I don't see how you could be in the minority. that was obviously WAY after the play.

I actually thought, given the comments Tnew made, that Ware would get a larger penalty -- but he got some benefit of the doubt as he's been pretty clean throughout his career. If that was, say Roy Williams, we likely would have seen a suspension.

 

[Hoofbite]

I thought it was a good call. I think he deserved the fine.

 

[speedkilz88]

It was a good call, but Witten should have gotten a late hit call in that game too.

yeah faulk is not a quarterback though.

It happens alot with corners scooping wr and running backs, never gets called unless it is a qb though.

 

[Rampage]

guys, Demarcus knew exactly what he was doing

 

[03EBZ06]

Meh, that was legit penalty and fine, I have no problem with it. Ware did show just how strong he is though.

 

[Maikeru-sama]

guys, Demarcus knew exactly what he was doing

Yeah, he did didnt.

 

[McCordsville Cowboy]

Can someone GIF that?

 

[Longboysfan]

Was TO fined for the popcorn?:laugh2: :laugh1:

 

[jcollins28]

That ill lighten the wallet. I think the fine is a bit heavy because of all the talk though.

 

[ThreeSportStar80]

I was happy he nailed Kitna...:laugh2:

If Kitna still has the ball, that is not a penalty. Once the QB lets the ball go you can't drive him to the ground, but Ware thought he had the ball. I understand the penalty and the fine, but I don't think Ware did anything dumb. He was just not in a position to know that the ball was thrown.

It would still be a penalty if Kitna hadn't thrown the ball. Lifting a QB off the ground and then landing on him is always going to draw a fine.

 

[YosemiteSam]

I agree. I don't think it was intentional but Ware lifted him and drilled him into the ground after the ball was already gone. It is pretty clear cut

Ware didn't see him get rid of the ball. Ware's face is in his chest when the ball comes out. It's not clear cut at all.

No it's not. Ware didn't get fined when he drove Marshal Faulk into the ground. I think he did the same thing to Reggie Bush.
