BBRT Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 Great first half and I agree with a previous poster - both of these teams can/have/will beat the Bombers easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pull is the issue, not grabbing a guy by the hair. That wasn't a tackle either. A tackle is a stick and a wrap, torso to torso. That was a grab and a pull. If they focused more on enforcing the rules on legal tackling and requiring form tackles using proper technique injuries would go way down. You're going to pull if you grab the hair. I don't follow your logic. Again, if players want to grow their hair extremely long then the locks are fair game. As Milt Stegall said about that play... "Cut your hair". Long hair is a lifestyle choice. It is a safety issue but no one tells players to do it. And it isn't against the rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one forces them to grow their hair long. So just like an arm or leg, hair is part of the body & can be used legally to tackle. And it was. An offensive player who chooses to have his hair at that length is asking for trouble. There’s no reason, other than vanity, to keep your hair at that length when your playing a sport like football. Look at that play. There is no chance for a tackle if the dreads are not flopping out there. Nobody wants to see injuries, but good gawd man..protect yourself.

To play football with your hair in dreads covering your name or even the top part of the numbers is insane. But that's the way it is today. Players wear smaller & tighter jerseys as well as smaller pads so they can show off their biceps, tats & hair. If they want to do that & get injured that's on them.

Mr Dee Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 That “toss” by Masoli should have been intentional grounding. Nobody in sight, and he was in the grasp. Nichols wasn’t so lucky.. SpeedFlex27 and TBURGESS 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpeedFlex27 Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 The Stamps are down three receivers & they can still throw the ball deep to a depth receiver better than we can with our starters. TBURGESS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedFlex27 Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 (edited) Coaches that do these fishing trips & lose a challenge should have a 15 yard delay of game. This is why I don't want more than 1 challenge per team per game because of garbage challenges like that.

Tells you just how bad we are & how things need to change. The Stamps have contacts all over the US through Huff & his son. Their US scouting is far superior to ours.

What I'm saying is grabbing the hair shouldn't be an automatic penalty like grabbing the facemask is, but the pull should be a penalty for rough play, especially when it's that blatant in the open field on a guy running full speed.

Mr Dee Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 Yes, they have better receivers, but they also have a better offensive system that allows the ball to be thrown deep. And, oh yeah, they have a top 2 QB who knows how to throw a deep ball. We don’t utilize our receivers in the same manner, so it’s pointless to say our receivers aren’t good. They rarely get a chance to shine. Our system - our QB. NorthernSkunk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if they just grab the hair and hang on. No pulling just hanging on and letting the weight of their body slow the runners momentum .... kinda hard to judge for a penalty I think.

It can't be as hair is a part of the body like an arm or a leg. It's treated the same way. Players need to cut their hair if they are worried about their own safety. Players are vain & obviously not concerned wearing long hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Dee Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 Punish the tackler for reaching out and grabbing what’s available? I don’t think so. Like I pointed out, there would have been no chance for a tackle if the runner didn’t have that hair choice. I don’t care how you wear your hair, but think smart, wrap it, or hide it, don’t let it be a disadvantage, or a cause for injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They rarely get a chance to shine. Our system - our QB. That certainly is a major part of the problem as we tend to spread the field horizontally by throwing all over the field. LaPo likes a ball control type offense instead of a quick strike offense. (Don't know why we can't do both). It is a hinderance if we get behind or is a slump like we are now. However, our receivers just aren't good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
