Are you also advocating for the suspension of your idiot defensive lineman for his show Saturday?


If you are trying to equate this absolute horror of a human being that USC kid was for celebrating while a competitor was laying on the field having uncontrollable spasms and what Simmons did.. Well…

I admire your ability to go through life seemingly fully functional with no obvious brain activity.

You can't compare both transgressions. One was thrown out for targeting, and then USC suspended him for the next game. The shorthorn dude should have been. Instead, Sark blamed society for the punk's actions and then excused his behavior on the field by bringing him back. Nothing to compare.

Green is 6’7. You’re taught to go low. That’s basic defense. It wasn’t dirty it was unfortunate because FB is a contact sport

I mean once you are that low and it's a split second, not sure what you do.... Should be a flag on the QB for late slide.

Are we talking about the same thing? Perhaps you are referring to the South Carolina incident?

This is about what happened after the targeting of the Oregon QB by Southern Cal.

I put it in slow motion and it almost looks like he missed or grazed him. But then I saw that he basically went with a violent forearm and obvious lowering of his shoulder to the head that bounced his head off the ground that likely caused the most damage.

Not that that excuses anything. It’s just that I kept wondering why it looked like he barely got him and it led to such an injury. He deserves everything he gets.

It’s not the hit that is the issue, it’s his extended actions long, LONG after it was obvious the Oregon QB was in real trouble…

Yeah, but people are defending or at least discounting the hit. I was just pointing out that it wasn’t just a late slide. The angle of his tackle plus how his body was angled shows an intent to hit him on the way down, even though it didn’t look violent on first view in real time (at least to me).

I was watching it live with an Oregon fan, that hit got an immediate OH shite! out of both of us.

So yes, your reaction after a close look at the hit itself is justified.

It was horrible if not extremely late. But any arguments about the hit miss the actual point of what everyone is so pissed about.

Yeah, I don’t mean to discount that. I get it. I was just pointing out that it was worse than what some people believed

Will be a fan of Alabama's TE Ford from here on out for how he handled Dylan Stewart

quote:

Ford's Reaction: "Man, he's a great player. We had a lot of fun today. I think he punched me three times, but it was awesome, it was a good battle."

What Triggered It: Ford revealed he told Stewart right before the punch, "Man, you're good, you're a great guy," noting that Stewart apparently did not appreciate the compliment.




Dude is just a football player

Wait....a flag on the QB?
No. They would either call it a no flag, late hit or targeting. I saw targeting. No matter if he was low or what his angle is, you are not supposed to lead with the crown of the helmet. Keep your head up.

Not saying i like the targeting rule as it is...just that as the targeting rule is written, that seems as if it should have been the call.

At some point you are just a runner. TBs get hit all the time....every which way possible without flags.

Way to get on there and make it about you.
None of those examples you gave have anything to do with the SEC vs LSU story, and they aren’t related or similar in any way.
