fridge Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 (edited) He pretty blatantly went for Williams' head. He took a cheap shot at a guy with a history of a neck injury.If the league really wants to act like they care, that crap has to be eliminated. I was sort of disappointed to see such a little retaliation from our team. Update: No fine yet for Landry. Players typically are informed on the Thursday following games if they will be suspended or fined. According to this PFT article, a fine is still possible because the Dolphins are in a bye week. Update 2: Ian Rapoport is reporting via twitter that Landry was fined 24k on Tuesday. Here's the tweet: @RapSheet Sources: #Dolphins WR Jarvis Landry was fined $24,309 for an illegal crackback -- his hit on #Bills S Aaron Williams.

billsfanmiami(oh) Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Yes. That was dirty as hell. Hope that isn't the last we've seen of A Williams, would hate to see him go out like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrags Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 No. It was a clean hit. With his shoulder. Not his fault Aaron Williams can't see a blocker coming at him. Hate to say it, Williams is probably done and he should be if he wants to walk after he hangs his cleats up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virgil Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 I don't think it was a dirty as everyone is making it out to be. In the moment, he's not thinking about things it is, he's trying to be a football player and dish it out. You could tell he was visibly shaken by what he did. I hope Aaron or okay but I'm not hating on the hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtbag Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 no because according to the announcers, he felt pretty bad about it. plus, he apologized by patting williams on the butt when he slowly limped off the field, concussed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fridge Posted October 23, 2016 Author Share Posted October 23, 2016 In the moment, he's not thinking about things it is, he's trying to be a football player and dish it out. Really? In the moment? He lined up in the slot and sprinted right at Williams, taking a shot at his head (which he had to leap to hit). Not only was Aaron defenseless, but Landey had plenty of time to consider how to block him. I thought it was one of the dirtiest things I'd seen in a long time.

mannc Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 he leaves his feet and launches himself to AW's head, had he targeted his chest I could give him a pass but that was not the case. Correct. It was a clear intent to injure. Doesn't matter that he led with the shoulder. Remember Burfict's cheap shot on Antonio Brown last year? He led with the shoulder, too.

Nihilarian Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 If I'm not mistaken the league outlawed that shoulder hit to the head back in the 50's when a Cardinals player was knocking players out with vicious hits. Can't recall the name. That hit is a fine or suspension IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAJBobby Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 It's the Hines Ward rule. The NFL today approved four new rules that focus on player safety, including the so-called Hines Ward Rule that affects blocking tactics. The blocking rule makes illegal a blindside block if it comes from the blocker's helmet, forearm or shoulder and lands to the head or neck area of the defender. Thanks. It does have shoulder OK for somereasob everything else i was reading didnt say shoulder just helmet. Now i see why it was flagged. It will bring a fine no suspension though.

Dragonborn10 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Yes he should but he won't. It will be a small to medium fine. The only way to protect the players is ejection and suspension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

l< j Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 He didn't need to do that to prevent AW from making a play. R Woods, whose blocking everyone looks to as the way a WR goes about things, never looks to take the other team's players out of the game, just out of the play. It was dirty. kj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
