Correct, there is also crown of helmet, which was not used.

They've also said they want to eliminate dangerous hits that injure players. Things like concussions.


They have specified the type of hits they want eliminated, which doesn’t include the hit in question.

There's more.

Sure. And more broadly, they want injuries like this one minimized.

You're naive if you don't think this will be talked about and potentially addressed.

Wasn’t targeting but did probably cost his team the game.

1. No player shall target and make forcible contact against an opponent with the crown of their helmet.

2. No player shall target and make forcible contact to the head or neck area of a defenseless opponent with the helmet, forearm, hand, fist, elbow or shoulder.

Targeting must involve one or the other.

They know they can’t completely eliminate such injuries, and they also don’t want flag football, which is what you are advocating for.

Maybe they will. I bet they would reach the same conclusion as discussed in the response directly above this one

I'm quite literally the first person who said that the night it happened.




Ok. Then explain how hitting a receiver while he is trying to catch the ball would be unnecessary roughness. Is there any logic to it at all? Receivers get hit while trying to catch the ball in every single game.

Nobody knows this. You can't even say "probably". Was Harrison a good player? yes. But there is no way of knowing what he might have done the rest of the game. Nobody knows.

Well, here's what you said up to that point:

If helmet to helmet or not is objective.

Glad we got you there, though.

quote:

Sure, but that doesn't affect their decisions to attempt it.

And no, I'm not advocating for flag football. Don't be a fool.

They certainly will.

No one said you can't hit the receiver.

Of course it does. They are trying to find the right balance. What you are advocating for, to flag a clean hit because it’s too hard, tips that too far in the direction of flag football.

That’s one opinion.

No, it doesn't. They're not throwing their hands up, saying "well ya can't stop them all."

Another opinion.

The veracity of an opinion can vary greatly. From 0-100.

Hi def, slow mo, multiple angles Replay makes it easier to determine. Replay fixes mistakes or confirms good calls.

No, it doesn't.


They tweak the rules year to year. At a certain point, there are no new rules to add while keeping the balance proper.

Come back when they make the “a clean hit too hard” rule. You expect that for the 2023 season? Do ya?

They did it rules for horse collars, hits to the head, crown hits, leg whips, and chop blocks, which are not difficult for a ref and replay to get right.

What you want added to this list wouldn’t be the same.

Another opinion.


Replay didn’t see the crown used.
Replay didn’t see contact to the helmet.

And it's still an opinion.

They won't make a stupid rule like that, regardless of how you want to attempt frame my point. They'll evaluate and update as necessary. This hit will be included in that, whether you like it or not.

Sure. In their opinion.

We should just end this with 42-41. Make your kick and UGA fans will come back to the 18 missed holding calls.

A reasonable Opinion based on facts rather than a poor opinion based on hurt feelings or a poor understanding of the rules.

There is a major difference. Make no mistake.

quote:

What rule would they make that wouldn’t be stupid? What phrasing? No shoulder hits?

quote:

They will watch the HI DEF, SLOW MO, and MULTIPLE ANGLES replay and form an opinion?

Maybe if day cries enough.

A hard hit to the shoulder is simply not the kind of play that is going to lead to new rules being created.

What are you gonna do. Outlaw hits to the shoulder?

Unreasonable idea.

Somebody needs to tell him to give this up already! What is he hoping to accomplish? It’s a bad look and he should shut up about it..score more points and quit crying. He should be satisfied with the close loss and thankful Georgia played their C- game and not their A game..just my opinion

Ohio State was the recipient of the only holding penalty called all night, despite JT being mauled the entire game.

But sure, let's go through those.

Not up to either of us. I'm sure if it happens you'll complain about it.

Correct. One opinion. The dude closest to the play had a different opinion.

Ok, so you don’t think outlawing shoulder to shoulder is reasonable? Good. No one does.

With that off the list, You are clearly struggling to come up with any reasonable frame work.

I can’t either, so that makes two of us. No reason to think the rules committee could as well.

quote:

He did. It was possibly highly flawed too. How so? Based on an instant moment that also involves other distractions, and with only one angle.
Replay is vastly superior, far less flawed.

Sure, because you're entirely objective and neutral here...

Indeed.

Simply applying the wording of the rules to HI DEF, SLOW MO, and MULTIPLE ANGLES replays. Just like an unbiased replay ref does.

quote:

It is me attempting to describe your terrible take since you are struggling to describe what he did wrong.

If you don’t like the “shoulder to shoulder” phrasing, come up with something else to replace it.

What ya got instead? Do you prefer “hit too hard”?

quote:

Indeed


He didn’t have the advantages of the replay ref:

HI DEF
SLOW MO
MULTIPLE ANGLES

The whole process worked out exactly how it is supposed to, with replay refs using all of their advantages to determine what happened on the play.
