I know I'm in the minority here, afterall this is a Rams board and its the freaking Whiners LOL. But I think it was legit, I dont see a push off, Boldins arms were inside the whole time really because Jenkins was all over him.
No. He didn't get beat. The announcers in your video describe it as "wonderful coverage". Many would call it blanket coverage. DB coaches could use that film of Jenkins in film study on "how to play man coverage."
Then, inexplicably, just before the ball arrived, Jenkins decided to throw himself violently to the turf.
Look it the replay again. He didn't slip. His body would have fallen face down. But Jenkins body twists away and downward, indicative of a counter force, not unlike the martial arts move Boldin just put on him.
I give Boldin credit. When he retires, I would love to hire him to work with our receivers. It is a tool used also by successful pass rushers like Aaron Donald. D'Marco Farr credits some of these martial arts moves he learned for saving his career.
But an attentive Zebra should have pulled a hankie.
Unless you think Jenkins "flopped"?
:flanders: See? He head turned back, and to the right. Stop the Zapruder film! Go back. See? Back and to the right!
This refutes everything the NFL is trying to sell you in the Warren Report on Boldins Touchdown.
:burp:Yeah. I missed that play. I was up in the grassy knoll taking a squirt.
