Re: NFL Might Suspend Players for Violent Hits
i'm with matty on this one, i'm sure the nfl is just gettin their panties in a wad because there were some many bit hits and concussions all in one day. we will just have to see how it really is inforced this weekend. that said my biggest issue with what the nfl is trying to do is that it is all about the defense and safeties and lb's hitting people helet to helmet, but what about the offense. lavar was talkin about it today and he got pretty worked up but he brought up some really good points imo
1. a receiver isn't defenseless unless they themselves or their qb put them in that position. i mean when a receiver runs a cross route and the qb throws the ball the receiver has a choice to go up and get it or not. just ask tood pinkston, and desean jackson for that matter, anyone see his alligator arms at the end of the philly game when he was about to get pwned by laron?
2. what about when a rb truck sticks a db? like when landry got pwned. by the nfl rule that was an illegal hit because he struck him in the head with his forearm
my biggest beef is that the nfl doesn't really care that much about player safety, but they are concerned with high scoring games and an 18 game season, but i guess we'll see this weekend when fat al busts cutler up.
