I know they have a good team but idk if that OL is good enough to make Hundley comfortable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realize that Oregon fans and their players are soft, but you don't need to defend A-Rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 don't stick your arm out to contact the ground first and break your fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Packerraymond Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Barr lost his credibility when he headbutted Adams after Hundley's INT for no reason. I still don't feel it was a bad hit, but he clearly had no issue being reckless out there today and surely could've held up and not hit Aaron. Not surprisingly he got a concussion on some hit later in the game, probably from a similar circumstance being overly aggressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it happened I thought, he's not out there trying to hurt anyone out there. Then you headbutt a player (one who was just in the freakin hospital with a head injury no less) and I no longer can believe that. He definitely drove Rodgers into the ground with more body weight behind it than necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sport is popular because of the elite QBs, it is wise to protect QBs for this reason. It's why this hit is illegal. Rodgers has landed on his arm 1000 times. But not with a 260lb defenders illegally driving him into the ground and landing on him with his full weight. This is the result. That's the reason for this exact rule.

vike daddy Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 39 minutes ago, vike daddy said: here are the NFL rules, cited earlier. it describes exactly what happened and why it isn't illegal or a penalized play. Barr did not "unnecessarily" or "violently" throw Rodgers down to the ground. he didn't even throw him down at all, they went to the ground together. Barr also wrapped his arms around Rodgers during the tackle. it was Rodgers who stuck his right arm out to break his fall, contacting the ground first with it. a defensive player must not unnecessarily or violently throw him down and land on top of him with all or most of the defender's weight. Instead, the defensive player must strive to wrap up or cradle the passer with the defensive player's arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the last image, there's no reason not to have released the QB by that point unless you want to finish the play by using your body weight to crush him. That last leg will come off the ground and then that's all Rodgers weight and Barr's on one shoulder, you think putting the arm down caused thw injury? Give me a break.

Packerraymond Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 ^^^ In fact, if the arm had anything to do with it, it would've been a shoulder/elbow dislocation. He broke his collarbone because of the blow straight to the shoulder, because he was buried into the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
