Hit on Newman was illegal

[dallascowboysfan31]

is it me or was that helmet to helmet and basically a cheap *** shot. hey if they can fine roy two days after a game when he has a hit that i've seen less violent than that....multiple time this season i might add, i think this one should go down like that also. just a thought.

There was absolutely nothing wrong or illegal about that hit.


You can helmet to helmet a runner. There's nothing illegal about helmet to helmet hits as long as it's not on the QB or a defenseless WR.

Did you Tivo it cause he lead with his helmet.

He will get fined.

I take it we only use Newman on punts where he's near midfield? They're crazy to fool with his health.

Talking about hits.....how about that "hit" on Manning that was called roughing the passer? Manning didn't even go down. Does he wear a thong and bra or something? Unbelievable call.

What pissed me off was where was his fricking teammates? You don't let opposing players stand over and taunt your guy. Someone should have gotten over there and defended him. George Teague wouldn't have let that happen. Or the refs should have thrown a flag for the guy standing over him and showing his crotch.

That's why big Bill doesn't use Newman alot on punt returns. That was a wow shot!

That totally pissed me off, too.

Newman should've called for a fair catch on that play. The punt was short and he was running into the teeth of the coverage. When you do that, you're usually going to pay the price.

I'm afraid all the local media's "Newman's reputation is on the line for this game" nonsense got into his head and he tried to make a play that he shouldn't have.

Cowboysfan31, the Roy hit on AH?

 

[TrIpLeTs06]

man he got laid out.

 

[stealth]

he lead with his helmet nailed him in the head then taunted him afterwards both of which weren't called. Manning gets bumped and didn't even fall down and it was a 15 yard penalty for ruffing the passer. must be nice to be untouchable as a qb.

Thats what I saw too.

 

[Hostile]

I didn't see anything at all wrong with that hit. Just good hard football. I respect that.

Exactly...

Made a bad decision and paid for it.
