Nah... I guarantee you that no players have any ill-will towards Smith for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Might Rather Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 46 minutes ago, Maynard said: Even McDermott was pissed about that one. I saw them looking at Fields helmet as well. Don’t think he had it strapped down properly and that’s why it went flying off. The helmet flying off drew the flag. 3 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Fields should have been fined for equipment malfunction. No way should that hit should have dislodged helmet. Lets get a member of NFLPA union board to test it - hit person 100 times and see how many times it is dislodged. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 55 minutes ago, Utah John said: Hit him in the chest with the shoulder, then don't land on him with full body weight. You know, what the NFL requires these days. How are you supposed to wrap up if you lead with the shoulder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the flag, they're gonna call that every time but it's not "dirty". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJBobby Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Will always be flagged there. Lower your aim point about a foot. Or slide you head. but that all said welcome to the NFL Rook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_In_NH Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Bills fans view of a clean play or dirty play totally depends on who is taking the shot. That play reversed against Allen this place would have blown up. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 The New England Cheats will see this and place a small piece of silk connected to helmet snap. Next critical play QB pulls string when he is going down and helmet goes off with free down for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta hit him a foot lower. Coaches don't want that penalty. Smith blew it. He'll learn. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victory Formation Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 It was a clean hit, it looked dirty because of how outmatched Fields was. If Chicago doesn’t get their ***** together this kid is going to get hurt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can be corrected. I see your point but I also see if from the point of a defender who was probably anticipating he would not stand there blind to the rush like a statue. He probably was waiting for Fields to escape one way or the other but he never saw it coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, the guy has been coached not to hit the QB in the head, but at full speed with a mobile QB, it's not easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJS Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 1 hour ago, Draconator said: No it wasn't. Smith lowered his head towards Field's chest. Fields at the last minute lowered his head, making Smith's helmet contact the bottom of Fields face mask. Lowered his helmet to initiate contact, you mean? Yeah, that's a flag. Good hustle, but he absolutely created contact to the QB's head. It's not even a debate. That's a flag for every QB in the league except Cam Newton. Every time. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
