YoloinOhio Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Mariota didn’t wriggle free due to his own efforts, however. Hughes let him go and he confirmed after the game that he did so because he didn’t want to become the latest player flagged for roughing the passer while finishing a tackle. “I made an inside move and I’m underneath the quarterback at that point in time. When I go to wrap you up I’m naturally low so I’m naturally underneath you,” Hughes said, via NewYorkUpstate.com. “If I pick him up and finish him, it’s a 15-yard penalty and they might score [a touchdown] on that drive. It’s a tough situation to be in, and I’m very thankful that our secondary played lights out all day and got us off the field.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly the Dog Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 I used to fricken hate the "in the grasp" rule. But if they are going to call so many roughing the passers they need to start to call that again so players like Hughes arent scared of finishing plays. It weakens the game. 18 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPT Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 (edited) The new rules are ridiculous, but Jerry still deserves some blame here. He should have held onto him until a whistle. Honestly I think he thought Mariota might have fumbled the ball too. It was moving when Jerry hit him and he might have let go to try and recover it. But still, the new rules are having a terrible effect on the game. Edited October 7, 2018 by MPT 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COTC Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 (edited) This is turning into a flag football league right before our eyes. Hughes, usually a loose cannon, showed restraint; which is good. Allen flopped today which prompted a penalty. This is the future, soccer mentality. Players flopping is anti American and a rule will have to be made against this. A slippery slope.

Hughes probably thought he got the pass off, but you're right, Hughes was being very cautious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think you are referring to politics, however, style of play. Conservative is going into a shell and not making mistakes. Liberal is going all out, not caring about injury or others. You have the two confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCOrange Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 (edited) I call BS. Guy has probably led the NFL in personal fouls the past 4 or 5 years and he suddenly got scared of a flag this one time? He either thought Mariota got the pass off or he thought the play was dead due to forward progress. The penalties haven’t stopped him from sacking the QB all year but we’re supposed to believe it stopped him this week after the refs have clearly stopped calling it as strictly?

Not sure if you're just pulling my leg, but there are still thousands of players who play the game and never make a Pro Bowl. Also, no one takes it seriously. Also also, it's been around far longer than the new player safety rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
