Probably not, but he said he was considering it. Which means that the fine had some impact. Or he's a troll. | ||

"How can I continue to play this game the way that I've been taught to play this game since I was 10 years old?" Harrison said on Sirius/XM radio. "And now you're telling me that everything that they've taught me from that time on, for the last 20-plus years, is not the way you're supposed to play the game any more? If that's the case I can't play by those rules. You're handicapping me." Go rewatch the clip of Harrison vs Mass. It's a textbook example of a defensive player taking advantage of a defenseless receiver. A normal tackle clearly would have sufficed. If the way Harrison plays results in WRs being removed from the game (see: DeSean Jackson, Massaquoi) then the way Harrison plays needs to be eliminated from the game. | ||

Its the QB's fault for leading over the middle in traffic. You dont want your guys getting hurt dont lead them so they can catch the ball and fall down. | ||

Head on a swivel. Its the QB's fault for leading over the middle in traffic. You dont want your guys getting hurt dont lead them so they can catch the ball and fall down. Ridiculous. Murdering receivers who are disciplined enough to catch the ball in traffic is OK because it's "part of the game"? That's just a vapid argument. | ||

Yes, dont go over the middle then. Part of going over the middle has always been the risk of getting knocked the fuck out. The rule is only a recent one anyway, its not like its been in the game forever. Guys like Jerry Rice and Michael Irvin made their careers by being brave enough to go over the middle. Id say its way more dangerous to be able to crush people on tipped balls or something. Thats completely unnecessary. | ||

What, so we should let guys deliver helmet-to-helmet hits and give people concussions because that's how they did it twenty years ago? That's stupid. I guess hockey players shouldn't wear helmets then because players in the 20s didn't do it, and now modern players are pussies. | ||

Defenseless receiver is SUPPOSED to not allow any contact around the head area of the receiver with your forearm, shoulder pads, anything.......Im fine with that. Its not being called that way however, people are getting blasted in the chest by shoulderpads and its being called a penalty for for hitting a defenseless receiver. Also, leading with your helmet = dirty, however helmet to helmet can happen a ton by the way the offensive player braces for impact or is moving so its not always on the defender. Desean Jackson got crushed in the chest/shoulder pads that should have been a legal hit. | ||

Seems crazy to tell football players to not go 100% all the time, but i guess the new rules are the rules. | ||

In any event, I can't find the "All" button or the time to read through 80+ pages: is there an IRC channel for NFL games? | ||

For example, he drafted CJ (1st round) LeSean Mccoy (6th round) and Arian Forster (11th round). And guess what, those are the top 3 scoring RBs as of now. LE FUUUUU | ||

We bought the Ryan Mathews hype though. | ||

But still, Foster was listed first on the RB depth chart for a good team. 11th round is pretty nuts. | ||
