Case Keenum is F'ing killin me. Von Miller strips ball right out of RBs hands. Next play Keenum throws an unpressured pass straight to a Seahawk. Third of the day.
Regression to the mean. Should have traded for Teddy.

What does the number of blockers have to do with the defender taking a cheapshot or dirty hit to injure the QB. As I have stated and we have seen many times today it is still ok to sack the QB, you just cant launch yourself onto him as he is already going down. No team coaches its players to launch themselves onto a tackled player at any position. People are either over reacting or just not watching what is being penalized. You can land on the QB without launching yourself onto him and it is not a penalty.
Baldwin missed almost all of training camp with a knee injury.
We're gonna disagree.
If a D player is one step away and the QB is locked and loaded to launch the pass the the D player should be able to launch and land on the QB with all he has.
And yes number of blockers would clearly lower the amount of hits a QB takes.
We just disagree
The situation you are describing is not a penalty. It is after making contact with the QB the defender launches himself onto the already going down QB that is a penalty. Again it has nothing to do with blockers or hits on the QB, it is the blatant attempt to injure the QB that draws the flag. It is also a penalty to dive onto an already down ball carrier I suppose you think this shouldnt be a penalty either. It is the same thing as launching yourself onto an already going down QB.
I would like to see a replay of a defender just landing on a QB that was flagged. Every play I have seen flagged for this you could see the defender make an extra effort to launch himself onto the QB. Just falling with/on the QB is not being penalized.
Von Miller eating it up!!!
piker = Aaron Donald and his 6 sacks MNF3 sacks by himself today.
