    And the ripping of a helmet off the head, the swinging of the helmet and the hitting a player in the head with it. 

    There were flags thrown for ripping the helmet off in both games. Yes, Adams should have been ejected from the game.for swinging the helmet. Throwing the helmet at Bighill and clipping him on the chin (in the video you can see the helmet rolling in the opposite direction after hitting Bighill). He did not use the helmet to bludgeon a guy on the head.

    NFL - Myles Garrett suspended indefinitely for hitting an opposing player with the player's helmet. 

    CFL - Vernon Adams hits Adam Bighill with a helmet. CFL Officials - "What happened? Sorry, buddy, I was watching the guy returning the ball and must have missed that. So, you're still good to go there Vernon, keep playing. Hey, we'll watch the tape and maybe give him a one gamer. Sorry about that boys" 

     

    The only thing similar about the 2 plays was they both involved helmets.

    I'm assuming (hoping) CS and MN were standing beside ZC supporting him, giving him an extra set of eyes when the defense was on. Reasonlable expectation? 

    Collaros said in an interview that Nichols has been helping him a lot with learning the playbook. Nichols was there on the sidelines for Streveler when he was starting so I can't imagine he wouldn't be doing the same for Collaros.

    Masoli might get some attention but I can't see them paying him $500k-USD. Ex-Duck under Kelly who got himself arrested a few times?  I don't think they would pay Streveler that kind of coin but they might pay him $300k-USD. 

    I can't see any QB getting that much in the XFL. There's an article about a player named Corey Vereen who has dropped out of the XFL because he discovered the base salary is $29,000. The XFL had said the average salary would be $55,000. Here is a statement from the player's agent:

    Quote

    On Friday October 11, 2019, the XFL league office made players and agents aware of the player compensation and payroll for the new league. The salary schedule did not come close to matching what was talked about rampantly throughout the XFL combine workouts and was discussed online by many different sources. The base salary is $27,040 with per game active bonuses of $1,685 and weekly win bonuses of $2,222.

    The XFL said some players, like QBs, would make more but it's hard to believe it would 15 times more.

    The quote came from The Sporting News: https://www.sportingnews.com/ca/nfl/news/xfl-player-drops-out-of-league-after-finding-out-base-salary-is-only-27000/1env8oobiog1d1twdz2icm574p

    Masoli - hurt himself not in the pocket 

    Nichols - again somewhat self inflicted on a simple tackle 

    I dunno.. Seems to me QBs got hurt this year either due to the turf monster or taking simple tackles where they landed weird like Nichols.. Basic tackle but bad result. Has 1 been hurt cuz of taking some vicious illegal tackle or is it mainly self inflicted.  

    Not sliding, turf monsters etc. 

    Zac Collaros took a vicious head shot from Simoni Lawrence who was suspended 2 games for the hit. I think people seem to have forgotten that hit because I don't think any QB would have walked away unscathed from it and yet people talk about Collaros only lasting a few plays as if he was tapped on the head with a feather. Here's the video:
