Simon Posted September 20, 2020 Author Share Posted September 20, 2020 Just now, GG said: So it's now a penalty when a rookie DB didn't have enough field awareness? Mckittrick was moving forward when he made the block on a DB who was running wild in pursuit. If he just stands there it won't get called but you cannot put a shoulder into him And if it was forward, it was about as forward as Frank Wychek pass.

They have rewritten that rule in the past couple of years, but it still isnt being called as written. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch the replay, McKenzie's body was pointing Northeast of the LoS. That's not parallel. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont have any replay capability I thought it was a penalty while the play was live. I also thought the LB got hooked on the edge and was actually looking for two flags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleTheWagons99 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Well he did brace for the hit so that’s moving I guess??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't jack him up like he could have but I still thought he threw a shoulder in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerome007 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 I have done such a block ... in touch football! Come on now. I fully understand the rule and need to protect players but that was no penalty 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bermuda Triangle Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 How about this silly flag on Hyde? Maybe Hyde should have picked the receiver up, rocked him, wrapped him in a blanket, kissed him, and let him down on the ground. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He stood his ground and protected himself with a normal football movement. The key is the direction, initiate is subjective imo. It’s clearly meant to stop people from getting hit in normal pursuit...you literally can’t be called for blindside block by rule if you are blocking toward the opponent’s goal line.

vincec Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 1 hour ago, Captain_Quint said: It doesnt really matter how its worded, they are looking for those plays now, and are going to call it most of the time. They talked about it specifically in the offseason. In that same situation, McKenzie just needs to get in the guys way and put his hands up. And get run over? Maybe he can fake a block and then dive out of the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're sacrificing one player to save another. Dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Tuesday Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Honestly looked like the defender ran right into him and he put his shoulder out to protect himself. If he doesn’t do that he gets himself lit up so I’m not sure what they expect him to do. Maybe that’s the rule but if so it’s a bad rule. But I don’t think he “initiated” contact and also Jerome Boger is the worst referee in all of sports including pee wee football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teddy KGB Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 That call paired with the Ford call makes me want to quit watching. Disgusting how soft they are making the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
