Worst, most vague site ever.

False Start

quote:

When a player goes past the line of scrimmage without touching someone before the ball is snapped.

WRONG.
quote:

Holding

quote:

When a player uses his hands to grab onto an opponent

So you can't tackle?


This is, seriously, like a site some kid made for a 5th-grade project.

Memphis just for shits and giggles, can you zoom in on the forward shot and slow it down the same way? I just want to see where the fist landed.



If you are talking about the shot at the .47 mark it would be impossible.

It's a camera shot from a distance so if I zoom in it will look like you are looking at a blurred out porno.

Another site:

Definition: Hitting another player with the crown of the helmet.

another one for your arrogancy

quote:

c. Spearing is an act by an offensive or defensive player who initiates contact against any opponent with the
top of his helmet

Above your comprehension level.

Instead of online dictionaries and various state's high school rules, let's consult the NCAA, shall we?
quote:

“No player shall use his helmet (including the face mask) to butt or ram an opponent or attempt to punish him

LINK

Now, butting or ramming an opponent would mean that no form tackle was made. The helmet was simply used as a weapon with no follow-through with the arms. See if you can stick with me here.

If the arms were used it wouldn't be a "butt" or "ram." You'd just be making a regular form tackle, leading with your helmet. Which is how everyone is taught to tackle. It is the correct way to tackle. He should have had his head up instead of down, but that is irrelevant.

Now, check this out:

It's amazing how many LSU fans don't know the definition of spearing.

Spearing means leaping off the ground (ie, using your body as a spear) and jarring the opponent with your helmet.

Lowering your helmet to tackle is not a spear. It is just poor technique. That is why Danielson says "they're trying to get defenses not to do this." It can cause major neck injuries. Are there no decent high school football coaches in Louisiana?


You iz dumb

You are talking about "launching" which is leaving your feet

Spearing is just hitting with the crown of your helmet

LOL your own link

quote:

“No player shall use his helmet (including the face mask) to butt or ram an opponent or attempt to punish him


says nothing about arms, just contact with crown of helment = spear

No, it's not. Consult the NCAA rule book, please.

The words "butt" or "ram" imply the use of arms. You understand there's a difference between a tackle, and a butt or ram, correct?

I just did. There is a difference between "tackling with your head down" and leading with crown of your helmet

your boy lead with the crown of his helmet, the rule book says nothing about his arms

your first post you said spearing meant "leaving your feet" which is COMPLETELY WRONG

It was a completely dumb arse move. He'd been jawing all night and got temporary insanity when Pre got by him. For anyone to say he was just doing what he had been taught is laughable. I've never seen anyone make that kind of play/half-arse attempt to block on a punt return in my life. Nothing else comes close. Like I said, he just went temporarily brain dead and forgot he was playing football.

The question is what did he lead with? What hit first? Would Jefferson have been smoked if the tackler's arms were tied behind his back? It's pretty obvious the answer is, yes.

God you're dense. You can't butt or ram someone and then also tackle with your arms. Makes no sense, right? They are mutually exclusive.

Here you go you stupid Gump, I'm going to lay this out simple so even you can follow it.

First off, you linked to the pre-2007 NCAA rule book, which is laughable in itself

that said
quote:

1. Spearing is the use of the helmet (including the face mask) in an attempt to punish an opponent.
2. No player shall use his helmet (including the face mask) to butt or ram an opponent or attempt to punish him.
3. No player shall strike a runner with the crown or top of the helmet in an attempt to punish him.


FROM CURRENT NCAA RULE BOOK (this rule was adopted in 2008)
quote:


1. No player shall initiate contact and target an opponent with the crown (top) of his helmet. When in question, it is a foul.
2. No player shall initiate contact and target a defenseless opponent above the shoulders. When in question, it is a foul.


Now stop defending it. He clearly led with the top of his helment AKA spearing

the NCAA took out the "butt or ram" and "attempt to punish" in 2007. Yes I looked it up, because you told me to.

The missing piece to this whole argument is the fact that Jefferson got up after getting pummeled in the chest by the helmet of huge arse guy. That's a tough sonofabitch.

This is just another example of why I loathe them so very, very much. They claim every tackle by the opposition is a dirty hit with intent to do injury and at the same time contort every way possible to justify their own players actions as being perfectly good and legal.

Ok, I didn't know about the new rules.
quote:

His right arm/hand touches JJ's shoulder before the helmet hits. That is the initial contact. Seriously, watch it again and tell me it doesn't.

That's funny. How many LSU fans have been pissed off when Bama suggests we outplayed them on Nov 5? Yet it's perfectly fine for y'all to still be butthurt over 2009.

He got up but he was injured and Lee had to come in.
