There was no where else he could have been hit.

so, what is the defender supposed to do there

Exactly. Ridiculous rule.

You're right, no choice but to drop your helmet/hit the other guy in the head

SJS

Please. What a dumb comment.

where else in that situation would you hit the receiver

11/27/15 3:04pm

You really can't think of any other options?

SJS

11/27/15 3:05pm

in that situation, there was no other option

11/27/15 3:06pm

give me the other option sjs before you pretend to be superior

11/27/15 3:08pm

^^^^

Oh, I'm not pretending.

SJS

11/27/15 3:09pm

I did and you laughed at it.

One posts you say defender has two options, other posts you say he has only one

SJS

11/27/15 3:22pm

props to us both. we have bored the board

11/27/15 3:23pm

To be honest, I'd rather argue keeping/firing Bronco. I will let you pick sides

SJS

11/27/15 3:27pm

No, I also said he could have made a play on the ball. He didn't.

SpiffCoug

11/27/15 3:21pm

there was no way to make a play on the ball without it

11/27/15 3:22pm

Then I guess he would have been better avoiding the hit, then wouldn't he?

SpiffCoug

11/27/15 3:31pm

congratulations. That's almost exactly what I said from the word go

11/27/15 3:32pm

Except it sounds like you don't think the rule should exist. I do.

SpiffCoug

11/27/15 3:39pm

never said that once

11/27/15 3:46pm

Didn't say you did.

SpiffCoug

11/27/15 4:03pm

also words I never said. you are attacking me without knowing why.

11/27/15 6:06pm

so, simply making up words and intent. awesome

11/27/15 6:33pm

Agree there is no where else he could get hit

gww687

11/27/15 3:02pm

make a play on the ball and not the man? That's one thing.

SpiffCoug

11/27/15 3:02pm

He did. The guy shielded it with his head/shoulders when he rolled.

11/27/15 3:06pm

he looked like he was trying to duck under him at the end

11/27/15 3:07pm

Sorry, but it was a completely unnecessary hit.

SpiffCoug

11/27/15 3:07pm

But the problem is if the receiver dives downfield to catch the ball there's nothing the defender can do - if

HarlemCoug

11/27/15 3:16pm

exactly. there are no other options.

11/27/15 3:17pm

The rule does not require any hitting at all.

SpiffCoug

11/27/15 3:20pm

There is something he can do: don't hit the receiver.
