Yeah I'm not getting that one at all. We are now regulating if a hit looks too "hard"

The NFL is going down such a sad and pathetic road.

It wasn't that it was too hard, the defender launched himself.

I'm watching the replay right now on NFL Network. I must say Woods looks pretty solid in there at DT. Might actually have a real NT in him.

Yeah, he dove at him. And?

How did he launch himself? The defender never left his feet.

 

[Genghis Khan]

And it's a penalty.

 

[Cotton]

And it's a penalty.

No, it absolutely is not.

 

[Genghis Khan]

Ummmmmm. All I can say is watch it again. He unquestionably did.

Read the replies to this tweet.

I've watched it multiple times. The guys feet literally never left the ground. His right foot is literally in the ground when he hits the QB. The dude looked like he was stumbling.

Try pausing it just as the defender touches the QB. See his feet on the ground? That's not launching. That's normal tackling.

 

[Cotton]

I did as you said and watched it again. Hell, you changed my mind, he didn't even really dive. Made contact and took the QB to the ground.

 

[Genghis Khan]

No, it absolutely is not.

Of course it is, and should be. Completely unnecessary. He already had the QB in his grasp.

After he is on his knees and has the QB in his grasp, he launches himself and his feet literally leave the ground. It's not even a question.

What was unnecessary? Going to the ground? Come on, Geng.

You mean when the defender was on his knees? What is he superman? You can't launch your body from your knees. Go back and watch it frame for frame, you're losing it.

 

[Cotton]

Even the announcers were questioning the call.

Okay, now you're just trolling.

LAUNCHING.

All I can say is watch it at the end in slomo. It really shows it.

You might disagree that it should be a penalty and that's fine. But the fact that he sprung and launched himself at the QB is unquestionable. That's literally what happened.

Not even sure what you're watching anymore. I'm not sure how a defender on the ground can launch himself. But I'm over it. You must not be seeing the same play I am on my computer.

You're fucking blind. I've watched it plenty. If you don't see the defender's feet literally IN THE AIR and then land at the end you have vision issues that you need to address. It's not even hard to see. It's plain as fucking day.
