However, he needs to keep his head on a swivel. He was clearly keying on Celek and got lit up because he didn't see Treggs coming. What a butt hurt response though. Yeah today's standards just suck. It's not like he speared him. He got under his chin and popped him. Maybe some of the vets will help him out with the fine lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jlash Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 There's a difference between a hit worthy of a fine and a hit being dirty.His hit was fine worthy because it was dangerous, but it didn't look like he did it on purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the alternative to hit him softer? Half of B-Dawk's hits would be fined these days. His suplexes would probably suspend him lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not done on purpose, but it still happened, and it's still a penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's going to happen 9/10 times if you get under someone and hit them square. Their head is going to snap down. I can understand spearing someone but that's not what happened here from the grainy video on the last page. You can never eliminate helmet to helmet contact in this sport unless you fundamentally change the way it's played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because your head wouldn't be lined up under their chin, your shoulder would be. It's honestly pointless to argue about whether it was as legal hit or not, because like it or not, it was an illegal hit. Treggs got his helmet underneath someone's chin. It was a penalty last week, it'll be a penalty this week, it'll be a penalty every week until it gets changed. Like I said, clearly unintentional, but it still happened.

Phire Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 I'm not arguing that it wasn't an illegal hit. I'm saying that the rules are dumb. And you can't lead with your shoulder. That's how you miss blocks and get teammates hurt. Treggs did what he should have. Textbook form is you hit them in the numbers. That can often result in helmet to helmet contact. Per the rules it's illegal. The rules suck and Treggs should be $25k richer and Randall is a crybaby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this whole article is ESP going overboard on 9 carries from the preseason. Blount is a short yardage plodder, we know this, we knew this when we signed him, anything more is a bonus. I read something the other day that said a 4th and Smallwood would get it done, I HIGHLY doubt thats true even if Buffalo is completely selling out for picks.

furti Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 this is pure speculation. although i would love to have Shady back, i don't think this is anything close to being realistic. also, i am not sure how many years he can be a productive back given the number of carries he has had over his career.

He averages a 9 million cap hit for the next 3 years. The decline is likely coming soon too. He'll be turning 30 years old next year. Not to mention to trade for him we would have to give up draft picks in a year where we are already missing our 2nd and 3rd round picks. Next years draft could be pretty loaded at RB too. There is really good top end talent and should be great depth as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the positive once you take out the signing bonus that doesn't transfer over its closer to 6 mil a year Still a wet pipe dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
