TheShredder Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Ok...As it is seen on video replay, AH drives Brady to the turf. Should that be a penalty??? I want to say "NO!" The hit was in the flow of the game and if your line can't hold the pass rush and the QB gets hit, then it's called a knockdown. That's a stat. That is a legal hit and the ref got it right. To what extent do we continue to make special rules for Tom Brady? We already have a low hit rule that came from that Brady hit in 07'. There was one in the game on Colt. I guess the NFL decided to protect the QB's knees and it's a rule now. So, do we make a new rule to protect Brady's shoulder now? What about his hip? or his "Johnson"? Media is saying it's a flag and there should be a rule...What's the consensus? HTTR :logo::logo::logo::logo::logo::logo::logo::logo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilkyDiamonds Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 If it were ANYONE other than Tom Brady that hit would have never been mentioned. I just cant see Skip Bayless popping a piston if say..........Shaun hill were the recipient of said hit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're absolutely right that this was a story because it was Brady, but they aren't going to make a new rule for this. To be honest, though, the rule that would've protected Brady last year should've been in effect for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanceman_1 Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 The refs calls sucked all night for the Skins and the Pats, They looked lost. But to answer your question NO that should not have been a penalty. Football is not a sissy sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntotoro Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 If it didn't happen to Brady, we wouldn't even be talking about this right now (please excuse the double-negative). I'll bet anything it directly led to the penalty last night against Chicago when Orton got hit no worse than I've ever seen any QB get hit.

newage_hog Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 This is tackle football not flag... I hope Albert lands on every QB we play like that if he can. The hit was legal. That question wouldn't have been asked if Brady wasn't the one getting flattened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinz4Life12 Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 why would there be a penalty? this is football, right? guys get jacked up, and there was nothing intentional about the hit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooley4President Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 I haven't heard too many media folks saying it should be a penalty. It's only a story because it was Brady and it was preseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rdskn4Lyf21 Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Absolutely...didn't you guys see the Redskins taking cheap shots all night? I mean, Landry even tackled Randy Moss in the endzone. What thugs! :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pointyfootball Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 He's not the only one to do it but it looked like to me he fell with all of his weight, purposely, onto Brady and used the momentum to drive him into the turf. It's a judgement call and most times doesn't get called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope they are just shaking off the rust from the offseason, because this ENTIRE preseason has been full of horrible calls. If it didn't happen to Brady, we wouldn't even be talking about this right now (please excuse the double-negative). I'll bet anything it directly led to the penalty last night against Chicago when Orton got hit no worse than I've ever seen any QB get hit. It's sad and completely, true. ANY other QB and we wouldn't hear all this commotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattFancy Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Shouldn't be a penalty. It wasn't late and it wasn't a shot to his head or knees. Since when can't you hit the QB as he is throwing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pvkeeper19 Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 I mentioned this in a similar thread: watch the Redskins' first drive. Jason Campbell takes a very similar hit from the opposite side. Nobody thinks the lineman should have been flagged or fined that play--including me. Why should Tom Brady get special protection from the referees or the league? Easy. He shouldn't. Play football, you sissy girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinklein Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Holy ****, are they being serious? That hit was absolutely clean- not even a topic for debate. People who are saying the only reason this is being discussed is because it was Tom Brady are absolutely right. Can you see them discussing whether or not this should have been a flag if Jon Kitna was seen rotating his shoulder on the sideline? I don't think so. ****ing media. Idiots, all of them. Except Lindsey Soto. She's hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevinklein Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 I just watched the replay again, and it only magnifies how disgusted I am by the fact that this is being considered a legitimate debate. It wasn't even close. Haynesworth practically has his hands on Brady as he's delivering the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MustangSteve Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 To make this simple, they need a 2 step rule to hit the QB. As big as defensive linemen are, they can't stop on a dime, it's common sense. So if their within 2 steps or less, it's a legal hit, if they take over 2 steps, throw the flag. The hit was legal, it's a contact sport, and it's that simple to decide if it should be flagged or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pvkeeper19 Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 He doesn't get anywhere near the kid gloves Brady does. Partly because he is almost never hit--he plays behind a really good O-line. But mostly because he is not a crybaby *****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
