Exactly. I didn’t think he turned and blocked toward the goal line. Unless the rule states that he can’t even block at an angle toward the goal line I disagree with the penalty. But that would mean that a player can only block perpendicular to the field because blocking the other way would be a block in the back.

It looked like a Vinobitch screw up to me.

I didn't like the call given what it was vs the moment. Seemed typical of that crew to overreact and unnecessarily influence the game.

What are these players supposed to do in the split-second they have to decide... look around at the goal lines to figure out how to block? I understand the need to keep players safe, but the defender was staring right at Michel. It's not like it was one of those plays where a gunner, for example, was not looking and got wiped out on a return because he wasn't looking. The Baltimore player got hit hard, but he saw it coming, and it was perfectly legal in my book.

I'm wondering what our record is vs Vinobitch. Can't be good. Seems like his crew always finds one or two ways to fuck us and when that call went down I was like "yeah dude I see you working your BS."

We were 0-all going into the Saints championship game in 2018. I think it's safe to say we're 2-whatever against him.

But crack back blocks are illegal. Sony blocked back towards the line of scrimmage while the player was running away from there. Just stand in his way. Don't players know the rules?

That was not a crack back -- the defender was running right at Sony and the running back. The fact that he may not have seen Sony doesn't by itself make it a crack back.

Maybe it was because Sony's helmet did glance off the defender's helmet

But they didn't call a personal foul for a head to head shot. They ruled it an illegal crack back block.

I just heard personal foul - I didn't hear if it was a crack back block

But I haven't really reviewed the play

If I recall correctly, they called unnecessary roughness.

I played it a lot. It made no sense but I’d line up bothe sides and turn it on until the guy with the ball was touched. It took us years to master the passing. My older brother never understood it.

On the last play of the game, the Ravens pulled a stunt w/their version of a hook & ladder...

Around their own 30 yd line a WR catches a short pass and then tosses it back a few yards to another WR.
Marquis Brown is the lucky recipient of the ball, as DONALD is bearing down and it is no wonder that Brown fumbled it away...
Is there anything more terrifying than that BAD MAN bringing the lumber, totally blind-sided to you, a second after you get the ball???!!!

Any of us mere mortals, would be in the ER 30 minutes later with 8 cracked ribs...... :laugh4:

That was a major stick by AD. Who is like the energizer bunny, only difference being AD is 280lbs of solid rock
and has a bad temper on game day.

AD crushed him. After seeing the lame call against Sony for a legal block, my instant reaction to ADs hit was, "there better not be a flag!"

yea that was one of the worst calls I have seen this year.
Sony in my view was blocking parallel to the line of scrimmage, not back toward it.
That call either way was not in the spirit of the rule.
I think the rule was meant for a block like that 20yds from the play.
Sony's block was essential to the play's success.
