TNF: Dolphins@Ravens

[LACHAMP46]

Slide sooner....those dudes were FLYING....I mean it's not a dirty play...at that speed.. and that's a fumble

 

[RedRam]

These refs blow...

 

[jrry32]

Shouldn't have been a penalty at all...this is not flag football. Look at it again in full speed and tell me if it would've been illegal if not a quarterback...problem being if he's outside the pocket he is just that.. a running back...GET REAL!
Offensive players now think they should b able to "perform" without any hindrances... And Tony is showing what he was now...poor broadcasting!

Happily. It's an illegal hit. It's irrelevant who had the ball.

 

[LACHAMP46]

The issue is he led with the shoulder

aren't you supposed to lead with your shoulder?

 

[jrry32]

Joyner's hit wasn't dirty. And he slid too late for Alonso to not hit him. Sucked in to him. He'll be sliding a yard earlier next time.

.

Bullshit. I see players avoid hitting a sliding QB like that every week.

Joyner's hit was illegal. I don't think it was intentional from Joyner, though. Alonso's hit was intentional.

 

[LACHAMP46]

I'll say this, Kiko while at Oregon was a player that played like that...on the edge....very physical for his size (it appears that he has bulked up now)....intent is hard to prove...but I wouldn't doubt he was trying to pop Flacco....problem is, he can't pop him after he slides....Flacco slid WAY too late....Kiko didn't pull up, that's for sure.

Mike Foolio’s pick: Dolphins 27, Ravens 17.

That's because those qbs slid earlier so the defender could pull up. Flacco is at fault here, as was Bridgewater.

No, they don't. Those players just know to pull off. Let's put it this way, Flacco was on the ground when Alonso hit him. If Alonso were just trying to tackle him and not aiming for his head, why was he aiming so low? What LB aims for a QB's shins/knees?

 

[dieterbrock]

This doesn’t help the Rams in flexing their game against Philly,...

 

[VilleDeal]

In my football book...he slid to late and paid the price. My book is most likely older than yours.
Get the flags out....and get them put on the stars/quarterbacks.

 

[LACHAMP46]

I can't believe I trusted Moore....with all my ROD$$$......how am I gonna catch some of you guys????

Maybe he thought he was diving for the marker. I thought he was doing that. Even his slide didn't look like a slide. He knew he was gonna get popped then thought shit i better slide. Too late.

Feel free to go frame-by-frame. Alonso INTENTIONALLY lowered his strike-zone when he saw Flacco sliding. He had every opportunity to avoid that hit.

 

[OC--LeftCoast]

It was the elbow that made it dirty

Not sure how that’s debatable

Slid too late.

[jrry32]

Slid too late.

God forbid that ever happens to Goff, I guarantee you'll lose your shit.

Goff has never been greedy like that.

.

 

[Angry Ram]

Slid too late.

.

Yup. He was running and an instant slide. Kiko can't let up in less than a yard or however close he was.

 

[jrry32]

Goff has never been greedy like that.

.

Do you not remember the Sherman hit? Goff is as greedy as any other QB (see the TD against the Cardinals for another example). If a defender wanted to hit Goff like that while he was sliding, he could. And you wouldn't defend the play.
