Not sure off the top of my head, I left my spreadsheet at home. ;)
Thank you Shaner!
Yeah, defenders can't possibly adjust their hits based on where an offensive player is. :hmmm:
Garvin was between the hash marks and the numbers on the left side of the field when he started running towards Huber and didn't hit him until he...
So you're assuming Troy would have targeted the same spot if Hill's feet were on the ground. :huh: Interesting.
I thought the same thing. I think it's safe to say that I've never seen a fan wearing a punter's jersey! :lolol:
Ok, you're right. I guess Garvin should have just let Huber make the tackle because there is no way to block a punter legally. The NFL should...
Don't buy it for a second. Where Troy's head could have impacted Hill is irrelevant. So Garvin would have had to lower himself by a foot,...
So you're saying that it would be illegal because you think other fines were given out for BS hits? Makes sense. Garvin hit the punter in the...
Why wouldn't it have been illegal? The rule doesn't say you can't hit a punter, it says you can't hit him in the neck/head area. Punters get...
Garvin could have hit Huber wherever he wanted to. Huber wasn't looking at him, wasn't trying to avoid him and didn't duck like some players do...
My example is a hit on a defenseless player... just like the subject line says. I agree that a punter being defined as defenseless is BS but the...
So now we take player sizes into consideration? WOW! Yeah, Hill is in the air when Troy hits him which makes him more defenseless in my opinion....
Bingo.
Troy's head was on the side of Hill's body when he made contact, he didn't even come close to his head/neck area. Apples and oranges.
My point is that Troy laid out what the NFL considers a defenseless player and negates the comment of "if you can't hit punter because he is a...
IMHO the NFL could use that as a textbook example of a legal hit. :thumbs_up:
I'm not scared off by fruit (I like DFH Aprihop) but those flavors, no matter how slight, do not appeal to me in the least. Straight Oatmeal...
As of right now 43 degrees and 70% chance of rain.
