Joe Buck: "And They May Have Finally Called One on Chaz Green"

[brymatt94]

You play with kids? Where's Chris Hansen when you need him?

I thought I heard they moved to a silent count too. Could be a big reason.

We used the 'slap' count vs. the Commanders. I don't think we false started once in that game. So I was looking for it today. We didn't use it. Given the # of times we got called for false starts or almost false started today, maybe rethink abandoning it?

I saw martin moving right before the snap a bunch but could not see his arms as dumb as that sounds.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

I'll have to see it again...but it sure looked like he moved early a few times.

Not sure we should be piling on the commentators for pointing out what people at home were probably seeing as well.

I have no idea why fans get so worked up by this stuff.

He moved before the rest but he moved with the ball.

Nah, we weren't doing this today. You could tell if Martin was looking back at Dak in the shotgun until he raised the foot. He never did.

Just like this coaching staff to find something that works, eliminates a lot of false starts, and then just go away from it for some reason.

I laughed when Cowboys punt went out on 6 yard line. As soon as it leaves his foot Buck yells "Shank".

That was a great shank.

 

[Redball Express]

Buck is it baseball playoffs yet?

Yeah..

And for goodness sakes..

joe..

Please get rid of the blue fuzzy tie you wore today.

Looks like the first tie you wore on your first high school date...

you know..

The one with Biff.

 

[T-RO]

Gazoo Mike Pereira is painful also. They need to get these former refs off TV. They add nothing.

I lose a little respect for the league every time they throw that guy's face on the screen.

That was also hilarious. Buck, "SHANK!," Troy, "Great Punt!"

Buck must be watching the game on his

IPhone

Not from the broadcast booth.

 

[Toruk_Makto]

Sure. And that's why the refs obviously weren't calling it.

But if you were a casual viewer at home it warranted some discussion from the announcers. That's their job.

Some I feel get offended by this stuff too much.

Its the other stuff he has said over the years that was offensive. Today, he just had to eat his words a little bit. That was funny to me and rather satisfying.

 

[cowboyfan4life2]

I thought they do a good job. Why do you think Buck was rooting for 49ers? You must want a Homer to broadcast the games huh.

No not at all, but on that first td he was cheering for the niners, I forgot exactly what he said, but it was like see ya.

 

[maxdogg]

Buck has very little grey matter.

 

[robbieruff]

I cannot believe that seasoned NFL commentators and one HoF quarterback simply assume he's jumping early because he moves before the line does. If you look at each one, he moves the same exact time the ball moves. Just because he's the first to move does not make him a false start penalty. If anything, they need to ask why the rest of the line is a little slow off the snap.

Now, I am not saying he isn't ever moving too soon because I don't have a video of each play, but two of those they showed of him "jumping early" were ones where he moved the exact same moment the ball started to be snapped.

It may just be that he's moving on the count .. you know .. how guys farther away from the quarterback, usually with the side of their backs to the ball have to do.

I agree. I rewatched those plays and he was in motion right as Fred was snapping the ball. It sort of reminds me of back in the DWare days when he got those bogus offsides calls because he was so uncanny at timing his first step on the snap. What I also noticed is there was an instance during one of this plays where one of the officials says something to Chaz after the play. Couldn't quite make it out but it looked to be some type of warning. Would be interesting to know if it was about his jump on the snap "appearing" early or totally unrelated.

 

[LarryCanadian]

I think Broadus or Mickey wrote that they have all the oline doing a silent count to reduce false starts. Perhaps Chaz Green counts a bit quick lol.....
I think his performance for a guy who basically red-shirted vast majority of last year and has started TWO regular season NFL games has been super impressive. We haven't faced the absolute best DE's but still.......

 

[robbieruff]

Yeah, I usually defend Troy, but that strained credulity....

Yeah. I think he meant to call it a TURNING POINT in the game, which it most definitely was as it totally shifted momentum. Same could have been said of the Butler taunting. Difference was we overcame our boneheaded play and Niners couldn't do the same.

On that score, my big issue was Troy's and Joe Buck's total dismissal of the penalty called a ticky tack. By definition Dak at that point was a "defenseless player" with zero chance of escaping the tackle/sack. To pile on a cheap shot with him "in the pocket" - however "minor" the contact might've been - is almost always going to draw a flag...unless of course the QB is Cam Newton. And Tartt's blow completely knocked Dak and the other defenders to the ground so it was delivered with some force and not just a shove as they were stating. Indeed, from the official's angle who threw the flag, it likely appeared that Tartt launched himself into Dak to deliver the hit. It was categorically a dumb play and his unnecessary action put the game in the hands of the officials. He made his team pay the price.

I saw the same thing and started to mention it about the ref talking to him right after the third quick start he had.

I see Buck colored his hair in the pumpkin spice mode for the fall.
