OxonHillSkinsFan89 Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 After seeing the way Big Mike fell to the ground last night, my thoughts went straight to Kevin Everett especially the way he laid there motionless. Not only was I relieved to see him (after the commercial break) walk off but jog off the field. I think the NFL should ban the Wedge. Thoughts???

rebornempowered Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 I don't know about banning the wedge but Sellers proved that he's as tough as we say he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potato Sack Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 I was almost at tears. Seriously. I don't think I could've handled seeing Sellars carted off the field motionless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedlightG20 Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Don't ban the wedge. The league is already pussifying the sport as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next they can ban the offensive line as well or at least Blitzing? I can understand your concern but not the suggestion to ban the wedge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJL Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 When NBC cut to commercial they said they were bringing out the cart. My dad responded to that; "Sellars don't need the cart, he's moving his legs." And when we come back not only did he not need the cart he jogged off the field. Damn that guy's tough.

Bang Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Ban the wedge.. :doh: If you did that a guy like Mike Sellers wouldn't even want to play anymore. Stick to figure skating. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switchgear Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 I'll second banning the wedge, it's totally unecessary. The only real effect it has it to shorten careers and injure guys. We all want to believe the players are invincible, but it ain't so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blondie Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 I thought he was moving his leg and arm while on the ground. People saying he was motionless.......I didnt see him as motionless. I am not by any means triviolizing his injury.......but I didnt see him as motionless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaxBuddy21 Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Banning the wedge would be ridiculous. All the wedge is is three or four guys close together blocking for the guy behind them. Would you start throwing flags because guys are blocking too close to one another? Thats just ridiculous. Sellers is a wedge buster and does that quite well but this time he just ran into some really big guys. This is a physical game and if you keep taking away the things that make it physical, games will be shown on the golf channel. These guys get paid a ridiculous amount of money for the risks they take. Yes its sad any time someone gets hurt but thats the risk they take. The game would not be as exciting without it! And yes Mike Sellers is the biggest beast in the NFL and I get excited every time I see him in on a play. He can hurt you just by looking at you the wrong way!

skinslove<3 Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 mike sellers is just a beast.... i was very worried about him, but am glad that he was able to walk off the field. we LOVE you mike! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanTaylorINOURHearts Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 I hate to bring this up, but if you look at the play again, Sellers led with the crown of his helmet. They teach you in pee wee league not to do that. I thank God that he's ok, he needs to realize he is not a tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not by any means triviolizing his injury.......but I didnt see him as motionless. He was crumpled at first, totally still. If you notice when the trainer came out he had to straighten his legs, but shortly after they started checking on him he started moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aston Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 After seeing the way Big Mike fell to the ground last night, my thoughts went straight to Kevin Everett especially the way he laid there motionless. Not only was I relieved to see him (after the commercial break) walk off but jog off the field. I think the NFL should ban the Wedge. Thoughts???This had nothing to do with the (capital W) Wedge. It had to do with a 285 pound bull charging at full speed screaming "PALOFFS IS NOW!!" and then crashing head-first into two equally-sized bulls charging the opposite direction. If you ban the wedge, you ban kickoffs, it's that simple. On a side note, who else caught him blatantly interrupting the post-game Stephon Heyer interview on Comcast Sportsnet? That was one of the funniest things I've ever seen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewCliche21 Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 We must ban the wedge, Power I formation, increase the number of laces on the ball by two, and force every player to take a cultural sensitivity course just before the game.

sjinhan Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 there is already a rule that sort of protect the players involved in the wedge... I believe players are not allowed to go low at the legs when trying to bust the wedge... I saw a penalty called this week or last week for that exact play...

CBass1724 Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 The only way I can see banning the wedge justified is if every quarterback must wear a pink dress. Then I'd be ok with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
posse87 Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Don't ban the wedge. The league is already pussifying the sport as it is. So are you saying you could play the game and take the pounding that is being dished out. If anything the hits are bigger than they were 10,20, 30 years ago.
