There is something he can do: don't hit the receiver.
In football, a player need not be hit to be considered down.

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

where else in that situation would you hit the receiver
cougarmanguy
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
cougarmanguy
11/27/15 3:06pm
give me the other option sjs before you pretend to be superior

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

props to us both. we have bored the board

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

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
cougarmanguy
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
cougarmanguy
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
cougarmanguy
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.
cougarmanguy
11/27/15 6:06pm
so, simply making up words and intent. awesome
cougarmanguy
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.

he looked like he was trying to duck under him at the end
cougarmanguy
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.
cougarmanguy
11/27/15 3:17pm
The rule does not require any hitting at all.
SpiffCoug

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