Sure, when Kearse is coming around the corner on 3rd and 17 with the OT pushing him outside. He'll reach out and grab the QB by collar as his only means to bring him down and here comes the flag. No harm done and you'll be breathing a sigh of relief after a 15 yard penalty and an automatic first down.Phoenix-Talon said:We don't have to wait! Should your scenario come to pass, my response will be ..."I sure hope no one is hurt." Thanks for the opportunity, that wasn't difficult!

Are you revealing things right out of your playbook, is this just your version of a conspiracy theory, or a death wish of some type? Chill, the season is upon us -- too much tension is not good for you; you could get injured

Mods, request a Brrrrrrh ...Smiley Face with brittle cold vaporized condensed gas pertruding from the mouth (like the gaseous element that one can visibly see when they breathe very cold air outside), for this poster.
Sure, I'll hear from the mods on this recommendation also
seems like you attach that to ALL of your posts? what gives?

Phoenix-Talon said:Listen, don't all of you jump down my throat all at once ...but, I'm actually in favor of outlawing any form of tackle that has a history of injuring NFL players. If outlawing the horse collar tackle will reduce the possibilty of injury, then I'm all for it!
Flame throwers would be quick to jump at an opportunity to suggest that I'm only saying that because of the 2004 T.O. injury. And it's true, while there have been several incidents of the Horsecollar tackle other than from Roy Williams, the T.O. injury probably is the "poster child" case; with Roy Williams' being tagged with the "signature tackle."
But if the poster child case is inflicted on a significant Cowboy's playmaker (I truly hope it doesn't), many of you (perhaps not everyone) would change their tune.
One more thought ...instead of focusing your energies on re-instating the now notorious outlawed horsecollar tackle, why not advocate the design on the uniform collar that retards this type of tackle. For example, let's take the face mask penalty. I'd like to see a newly designed face mask that prevents anyone from gripping it. Something that serves the same purpose, yet unlike the "bars" that go across the width of the helmet. Hence, the face-mask penalty would be a non-factor.
Just something to think about, and as usual ...a different perspective.
