NY Times: Giants' Tuck Is Fined $7,500 for Hit on Bollinger***NFL Rescinds fine***

[Hostile]

uhh no. Basic Fundamentals of football, wrap up and drive the ball carrier to the ground.

Ware has done it to Marshall faulk before and received no penalty

Ware's INT of Vick at around 1:30 of the video is still one of the best I have ever seen. Just snatch it out of the air at full speed and then shift the ball so you can deliver a stiff arm and score.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

I was shocked by the flag and even more so by this fine. That's just stupid. It's football people. Let the friggen guys play.

WOW, that video showed me that several fines should have been leveed. Those were some vicious hits. However, If I am not mistaken, the only hit that got a fine was the one by Woodson on that Seattle WR, who still cant remember his own name.

Could someone tell me what happened to the Roy Williams that was in that video? Those plays that they showed there are some of the reasons I absolutely LOVED Roy Williams here (And a lot of the ones he made in college were why I was thrilled we got him). That pick he made against Philly, where he stayed nicely with LJ Smith and made the play on the ball, was great. I wish that Roy Williams would have returned.

The panzy league strikes again:bang2:

.. and I thought it was to pressure or sack the quarterback.

Wow! I'm glad we have Justa Thug, er Tuck, out there protecting us from all of the evil quarterbacks in the world.

-Reality

I like it alot!

 

[Smith22]

Great vid. It reminds me of a few things.

1) Roy WAS a beast, I just don't know what happened to him.

2) Ware IS and will ALWAYS be a monster. My only knock on him is I wish he would step up and me the emotional leader that this team needs so badly.

 

[ladiewolve]

I wonder if Romo would of been at QB. If he would of even been fined?? Romo has taken worse hits than that.

I seriously doubt it. Just like I see all kinds of touchdown dances and spikes...but hardly any of them ever get called , But don't let a cowboy do it cause you will see a flag every time.

I wish our passrushers had that mentality.

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

I agree. I thought it was a bogus flag and the fine is just as bogus. It's football.

it was but hey without it, we wouldn't have scored a TD so I will take it

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

I think its a stupid rule, but he led with his helmet and drove the QB into the ground. Thats a penalty.

I don't agree with it, but the right calls have been made in regards to the hit.

Agreed.

I wonder if Romo would of been at QB. If he would of even been fined?? Romo has taken worse hits than that.

This is very true.

 

[SultanOfSix]

It was an against the rules hit. He drove him to the ground. Ware got penalized for the same thing. He could have just as easily have tackled him without driving him into the ground. I don't know why he's complaining.

It is perfectly legal to drive the rb into the ground, just not the qb. The call by the ref was correct, the only argument is the rule itself. The rules been around for many years along with the dreaded tuck rule.

 

[This is Our Year]

If that's a flag and a fine they should put flags on the QBs waste belt and play flag football.

 

[coblue]

and the call was stupid.

 

[dcfanatic]

I agree. I thought it was a bogus flag and the fine is just as bogus. It's football.

100%. It was the same deal with Ware...

------------------------------

OK, maybe Ware should have let up a little, but come on already...

Take the skirts off these QB's.

They are turning this into a two hand touch league.

 

[Cbz40]

He should win his appeal. Obviously anyone can tell the Brooks Bollinger isn't a QB.

:laugh2:

and stop going offside

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

Common sense and advancing with the times tells you that you cannot tackle a QB the same as a WR, RB, etc.

There wouldnt be any QB's left and the league would looks like the XFL.
