NFLN: Roy W. on Put Up Your Dukes *Merge*

[vta]

I don't know, but I was pretty pissed watching the Giants do it during the Buc game with no flag in sight.

Pretty selective, ridiculous rule.

My problem with the rule is that it doesn't protect anyone. Owens high ankle sprain, was that a horse collar? No. Tackling from behind is hard and awkward. Someone getting hurt by any tackle is an accident. Punish an accident?

 

[sacase]

I think it is a BS rule. If the rule was really about player safety then it would be instituted at all levels. The rule is about perception, which the NFL is mroe concerned about that the actual game.

 

[Bach]

He said the generic " they're entitled to their own opinion..blah...blah...blah", but you can tell he was a little perturbed and didn't really want to talk about it.

 

[adbutcher]

You two obviously didn't watch the freakin' video.

Don't fault them they are just doing their part to expand everyone's ignore list.

And that they did, Sir. That they did.

They keep showing a clip on NFLN of Stroud yanking Ben R. down from behind in week in review clips about Stroud's injury status. It definitely looks like something Roy would be flagged for.

I keep awaiting some sort of fine announcement - or maybe even some sort of diatribe about how dirty he is (after all, he's already been suspended for 4 games for violating the substance abuse policy on anabolic steroids) but nothing is forthcoming.

Anyhow, I'll keep you posted.

John Henderson made that tackle, not Stroud.

And Henderson got called for it. Which actually surprised me cuz I thought you were allowed to horse collar the QB. Maybe you can't when he's out of the pocket?

Oh, thanks. I get the two confused, and the sound wasn't on when I saw it.

The horsecollar rule only applies when on running playerss, outside of the "pocket". Like if they handed off to Jacobs, and Roy came from the backside, grabbed his collar and yanked him down, that is not a foul.

Because somehow, it's been rationalized that horsecollaring someone is only dangerous if done away from the LOS.

Dumb freakin' rule. It really is.

Dware and the boys getting alot of sacks

I guess that means expect the front-line to be pretty aggressive from the get go...

I can't wait for Sunday...
