bedlamVR Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 When Spencer(93) pulled Eli down in the sack was he penalised because that looked like a BAD tackle. He appeared to wrenche Elis none thowing arm around when throwing him down to the floor but more importantly looked to be pulling him down from behind in a horse collar type move (both hands inside Manning shoulders brought down from behind) - though i remember QB are not covered by this rule ... He also showed his class (Spencer) by finishing the play walking his knee into the fallen QBs head... nothing serious but still... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsfan07 Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 that tackle was completely legal. All he did was yank that sissy down. Grabbed his jersey and threw him to the ground. Didn't grab the facemask, inside the shoulder pads or anything. Just yanked him down from his jersey.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esloan Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Yeah, it was completely legal. No horse collar cause he did not grab the pads but the jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodsTeam Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Yeah Opie got pounded legally. He also showed his class (Spencer) by finishing the play walking his knee into the fallen QBs head... nothing serious but still... just a little icing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjfootballer Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 No horse collar. If the ref wanted to be a dick, he might have called uneccessary roughness for the little fling at the end, but even I wouldn't have called it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashback Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Earlier in the game, I was looking at how loose the sleeves were on Eli's blouse, and I thought to myself, "Self, has anybody ever tackled Eli by his sleeves?" There's a certain kind of justice to it. Like Troy Polamalu getting tackled cuz he's too ****ing stupid to cut his hair. Makes me think there is some order to the universe, y'know?
