Isiah Robertson has nothing to say. It was perfectly legal back then and still is since the chest isn't the head So was the clothesline and actually grabbing the facemask was legal at one point
Actually looked it up since I thought the rule existed
It is a foul if a player:
lowers his head and makes forcible contact with his helmet against an opponent; or.
uses any part of his helmet or facemask to butt or make forcible contact to an opponent's head or neck.
They just ignore it if it is done by offense
Doesn't matter how you run. Don't lower your head like he did. That was at knee level when he hit the defender. If you tell the defender they can't go helmet to helmet than the same applies to offense.
Actually that seems to be something that the New York team could do. You essentially have a time out since usually the defender is down on the field. The challenge is lowering the head versus just running low
I am not saying they should but from a salary viewpoint it seems easy. I think they would be on the hook for one game of a veteran minimum salary which is less than 100K. cheap
A few thoughts. I learned way to late that he was actually my 6th or 7th cousin. Never met him but wish I could have. My twin brother did meet him in college. He was at a small private college in Alabama eating breakfast and Carter walked up and said he was running for president. No idea why he chose that time and location but it goes to show that you had to cover a lot of bases to run for president. RIP and thanks for showing us what it means to care.
Had that happen once in a business session with IBM. I lived in Austin but traveled all over as a subject expert. I think it was in Chicago that some clown from the customer heard I was from Austin and started talking crap about Texas immediately. Had to point our that I went to Auburn to shut him up. Never had that happen the first 15 years at IBM when I was meeting with folks from Alabama. We always had a professional meeting
Someone "stole" 7 lawn bags of old leaves from in front of my house. Maybe "stole" isn't correct but i collected the leaves and, after lunch, put 8 bags on the street for pickup tomorrow . Walked out an hour ago and only one is still there. No clue what someone plans to do with them
You sure? He got the touchdown because the goal line is extended past the pylon. Seems logical that a fumble would have the same extended goaline and be a touchback. Not going to try to look this one up. No clue how to create a search question with an extended goal line
To be fair - I thought that was the rule also. Maybe it is in the NFL but who cares now. However I kept wondering how they chose the one yard line. No where close to where it would be if the rule was what I thought. About the 5 inch line
