Football hits

Can anyone tell me what was wrong with the eagles hit on Sunday? The MNF commentators were saying that was the most egregious hit but did not say why. There was no helmet to helmet it was just a huge hit.

I think the last redesign of the NFL helmet was back in the 80s? With today's technology, you would think they could design a better and safer helmet for today's players. But that hit on Sunday was rough, leading with the head is a very idea no matter what kind of helmet you're wearing.

Vulchor

Actually, Riddell did a new design a decade or a little less ago if I rememeber correctly, its the new kinda helmet with curves in it and not the solid circular shape. There are also a few companies that do stuff inside the helmet, but I think its a player or team preference for that.

Wow. Nice hit. Glad he's okay. Who's Jackson's back-up?

I agree, but the mentality of the players also needs to be understood. Its millions of bucks and win at all (or almost all) costs. What better way to disrupt a route with a receiver and a QB than having a guy afraid to make that catch across the middle?? Not defending it, but its taken as part of the game and a way to get the upper hand on an opponent the same was as any other preparation and advantage would be.

That hit to me didn't look as bad as the hit Mayweather gave. The Mayweather hit seemed like more of a cheap shot and an attempt to hit helmet to helmet, but what would you expect from someone that plays for the Patriots...

Well it looks like they did not fine that guy. Did anyone see if there was a penalty on that play and if so what it was for? I was working.

It was a 15 yard per. foul for hitting a defenless recv. I bet he's still hurting and I could use his backup for my FFL but no such luck. They did send out a few other fines this week tho

Texans. I think that new D of theirs is gonna be nasty! Which sucks for me since we play them twice a year. Oh well....GO TITANS!

The Jets have no O line depth and the Texans have nasty D depth!

As much as my head is telling me to pick SD , Im going with Dallas, I think after last season Jerry Jones has kicked some ass and they (Dallas) are going to make a statement this season.

Just turned the game on. Two of my best friends grew up in Texas. That's all I hear, Dallas this Dallas that. One of them even named his son Dallas. I get tired of hearing about em. Can't stand em, hope they dont do sh!t this year.

LOL,, I used to hate them with a passion. But something happened bout 8 years ago where I started liking them. Probably had to do with one of my best friends loving them and it rubbed off on me. I like SD too but not a big fan of Norv Turner.

Well, dont know what happened to BIG D last night. Some dropped passes, and missed opportunnities, I have to say Philip Rivers looks real good. Tonight Im going with the Bears, I know it just pre-season but I hope the Giants get stomped, Dont Like Eli, Dont like Coughlin, and Dont like the NY Giants.

amz1301

Gotta go with Da Bears tonight. Eli's a big baby. I saw Tony Siragusa ask Eli a question on the sidelines either before the half or after the game and Eli kind of blew him off. Siragusa's my man, I was hoping he'd smack the big baby around a little.
