Sean Lee's Revenge

[DFWJC]

This again? It wasn't cheap it was damn near perfect, also if I weighed 180 and put that shot on a 250 pound LB I'd celebrate too.

Personally I love seeing football played this way, don't care if it happens to our guys or not because I'm starved for this style of play as it's rare in today's national flag football league.

All that said; light this dude up!

In typical class fashion, Lee said it was part of football. He's right.
But it WAS illegal and it was a crackback block.

What he didn't like was Tate standing over him taunting after an illegal hit that caused injury.
Here was the quote

“Crackback hits, that’s not a definition of toughness,” Lee said. “A definition of toughness is hitting, squaring up, being able to do your job as hard as you can every single play. That’s at least what I believe. Anybody can crackback block.”

Stop this crap, that was not a dirty hit and was very legal. Can't believe some of you. He hit in square in the numbers, no headshot, no hit from behind etc....

Can't believe us? For defending our captain on defense, when a fine was levied against him for said hit?

Clean or not, I hope he gets destroyed by one of our thumpers (and we do have some thumpers) on Monday.

Destroyed.

I don't see why that's a cheap shot? That's a nasty good block on Tates part.

That should've been a 15 yard penalty for going to the head

 

[Cowboys22]

Its time to let it go. The time for revenge was the very next play Tate stepped on the field. The fact that no one lit him up them pissed me off and so its time to move on. If Lee gets a good shot on him, fine but I'd rather have a team that takes matters into their own hands and defends their teammate on the next play. Take the penalty and fine but deliver a message.

Yeah, this is wrong.

Nothing about that play, according to the rules today, was perfect. You can't use your helmet to initiate the hit. You can't hit with the crown of the helmet, you can't launch yourself, you can't hit players in the head and you can't hit players who are Defenseless and that goes for players who weigh 180 or 380.

That hit was as square as you could possibly expect and a good football play, the guy out ran him to a spot, slowed and hit him from the front. On a 1-100 scale of how illegal that crackback was, it's a 1.

I disagree and so did the league. He was fined 21k.
That was a long time ago, so I don't really care now.

btw, Can I assume you are a Golden Tate fan with the way you are going overboard to defend him?
Just curious, honest question.

He didn't have to blow him up, he chose to. He could have made an effective block just by getting in the way and holding is ground.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Lee's a tough hombre, but he's never been known as a thumper.

meh, I guess I disagree with the rules today. I'm sure there are a few of you that disagree with the league on what a catch is...

Point is he protected his QB in the open field and it was about the least dirty play I saw that day and if Beasley made that play I'd set up a go fund me to pay his fine.

 

[Idgit]

For me I always looked at blindside hits as coward shots. Especially because during practice there were offensive players who would do nothing but look to see what guys they can catch off guard for a blindside hit as opposed to taking them head on. Sure you got to keep your head on a swivel, but its a coward play by punk players.

That wasn't blindside. He hit him right in the chest numbers. Lee just wasn't looking.

I'd have taken that shot 10 times out of 10. And I'd have celebrated it, too, if I landed it. Lee just didn't see it coming, which sucks, but that's football.

It may have been clean, Idgit -- but here's to Wilcox, Heath, or Lee getting that same type of clean hit on him this Monday

It won't take a "thump," just a clean, cerebral angle, Cal

Nah I just watch the games and replays just like everybody else and form my opinion, it's a good play and that's what I'm defending, if anything.

Admittedly the way the rules are (this is going to sound grimy), its almost worth it for a safety like Heath or Wilcox to blow up someone like Odell Beckham to send a message or get them out the game. The penalty will sting at that moment, but the rest of the game you will benefit.

I think that's why in college you are ejected for it.

I don't think you should be allowed to spear or target the head with the helmet but I have no problem with crackback blocks or hitting a player the minute he touches the ball but according the rules, nothing about it was clean. It was dirty and leading with the crown of your helmet, hitting another player in the chin like that, that was dirty when I played and it still is. Just saying.

Thank you! Blow to the head is one thing.... but that hit was just awesome. I don't care what the "new and improved" rulebook says.

Play to hurt them, but never to injure them. That's how it should be.

And if you cross a line, it's a fine, penalty, and/or ejection.

I do want to see us make a point of getting even, cleanly. We owe him one as a matter of principle.
