there's no excuse for a defender to hit a player like that anymore.
the nfl really needs to hand out some long suspensions when a player attacks the head of an opponent with the crown of their helmet.
.
"Welcome to the NFL rookie." Why pre-snap reads and knowing your shit is important lol.
I disagree this is still football if they don’t want him getting hit like they they need to play better.
They’ve already pussified the game too much.
he lowered his head slightly before contact.
play better?
he was like a tackling dummy, he didn't move. the defender could have hit him anywhere he wanted and he decided to go for the head shot. got nothing to do with pussifying the game.
.
He did not go for a head shot he hit him in the chest and slide up. Picking up a blitz isn’t something new.
Except for tripping, I don't know of another way to tackle without lowering the head slightly before contact.
Looked like his facemask hit his shoulder and the the QB took a step becoming lower just as the hit arrived.
I thought so while watching live and the highlights just reinforced it to me. Oh well.
when you go for the head shot and lower your head as you do it that's the definition of hitting the player's head with the crown of your helmet.
.
I agree. Fields has the tools. It’s going to come down to directing an offense though. Peyton Manning said after year 1 that no one was open. His dad explained they are open it’s just the window is so small.
There were many ways he could have avoided that hit. He came in high.
We will have to agree to disagree. The crown of the helmet is the very top of the helmet.
It was a bang bang play, but I thought the head coach was right to argue the point on the sidelines.
The QB takes a step and thus becomes lower right when the defender hit him. I'm 6'5". I take a similar step and I lose 5 inches of height. Curious to see if he'll get fined.
