Treehugger Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 If they outlaw hitting a QB below the legs while on the ground they should do it for everyone, especially pass rushers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Well that Blind side hit by Ward which I also believe they are calling the Hines Ward rule, just happened to have broken Keith Rivers' jaw. That is a good one that should be added. There is nobody more protected than a QB on an NFL field. The day when the sack is illegal is coming very soon. tom brady rule- no hitting a qb legs if the defender on the ground no blocking a player who not paing attention( wards block on keith rivers) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NightFire Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Not sure about the QB rule but these are the definite new rules. NFL owners have passed four player safety rules for next season. One of them is the elimination of blindside helmet-to-helmet blocks. The changes came Tuesday at the NFL Annual Meeting. The new rules state that the initial force of a blindside block can't be delivered by a helmet, forearm or shoulder to an opponent's head or neck. An illegal blindside block will bring a 15-yard penalty. Initial contact to the head of a defenseless receiver also will draw a 15-yard penalty. On kickoffs, no blocking wedge of more than two players will be allowed. Also, the kicking team can't have more than five players bunched together pursuing an onside kick.

BIGBLUE01 Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Not sure about the QB rule but these are the definite new rules. Wow, how about we just dont play football. That sounds like a nice game of chess or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarence the Blue Puppet Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Not sure about the QB rule but these are the definite new rules. I always thought leading with the head was illegal anyway. I never see that called anymore. Besides, we all no that none of these penalties will be called in favor of the Giants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treehugger Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 What the fuck has the wedge got to do with player safety? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGBLUE01 Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 What the fuck has the wedge got to do with player safety? If you pull the wedge up over his head, it could result in anal damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BronxRik Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 A 2 man wedge? :WTF: Oh well, there goes Madden's "You need a good wedge on kickoffs. You see, he's behind the wedge right here. You get behind that wedge, and you break around the outside. That's how he was able to run it all the way downfield like that". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nesta Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 What the fuck has the wedge got to do with player safety? They want to reduce the number of people involved in the wedge collisions. More people bunched together=more likelihood of an injury. Same principle as the onside kick rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BronxRik Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 They want to reduce the number of people involved in the wedge collisions. More people bunched together=more likelihood of an injury. Same principle as the onside kick rule. It's football, there's supposed to be collisions. Seriously, what good is a 2 man wedge? Maybe they can have 2 or 3 mini-wedges now, just not one big one. ^^ ^^ ^^ instead of ^^^^^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, we all no that none of these penalties will be called in favor of the Giants. Yeah but it seems they just want more justification to fine as you can't use arms or shoulders. Also when Boldin was fucked up the Jets player didn't get a penalty but did get a hefty fine (I think Ward was never penalized but fined many times). Anyway maybe the money is to pay the NFL compensation system where our man Johnson got a nice $305 000 bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

socalscholar Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I thought head hunting was already against the rules. NFL owners have passed four player safety rules for next season. One of them is the elimination of blindside helmet-to-helmet blocks. The changes came Tuesday at the NFL Annual Meeting. The new rules state that the initial force of a blindside block can't be delivered by a helmet, forearm or shoulder to an opponent's head or neck.

Dragon Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 The four rules that were posted were rule changes. The "Brady Rule" was an alteration to an existing rule and the owners didn't even get to vote on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Ward hit on Rivers Well take a look at this and tell me which way you think Rivers was looking. Ummmm....
