Gugny Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 That hit was dirty. He launched. He led with his helmet. He hit him in the face with his helmet. It was an absolutely filthy play and totally unnecessary - ESPECIALLY in a meaningless game. 1 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The camera did not catch it too well and Josh completed the pass to Knox so it was not such a big deal, game effect wise. Josh had the ball out well before the hit.

He took accountability for the hit, as he should have. No hate for Fields... I was referring to Brady. Glad to hear Fields took accountability, maybe he can pay the fine then 28 minutes ago, Gugny said: That hit was dirty. He launched. He led with his helmet. He hit him in the face with his helmet.

Smith's right foot was in the turf and his face mask struck Fields"shoulder. Thus, not lanched and not hitting him in the face with his helmet. Notice Fields still looking at the defense at the moment of impact. But, get used to these calls. There will be way more of them with an improved pass rush. Just a violent, legal hit often looks like a penalty. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a violent, legal hit often looks like a penalty. If you play/pause one more time, you'll see both feet off of the turf. This is a textbook picture of launching and leading with one's helmet - as well as hitting the opponent head-to-head. The call was correct. The league has been very actively trying to remove this exact type of hit from the game for years. It was a good call on a dirty hit. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A launch would have both feet off the ground before impact and the legs parallel. This is running through the tackle. You do realize that it is normal for any runner to have both feet off the ground during their stride?

This is running through the tackle. You do realize that it is normal for any runner to have both feet off the ground. Prohibited contact against a player who is in a defenseless posture is: ... It is an illegal launch if a player (i) leaves both feet prior to contact to spring forward and upward into his opponent, and (ii) uses any part of his helmet to initiate forcible contact against any part of his opponent's body. Looking at the picture, I'll stand by my original assessment that this is textbook launching. Edited August 23, 2021 by Gugny 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he would have Agreed. That hit will draw a flag 11/10 times in this league but it was not targeting. You cannot go high on the QB. Smith needs to lower the target to somewhere around the waist. But not too low. You cannot go low on the QB either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JESSEFEFFER Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Thanks for the quote. .................leaves both feet prior to contact.............The side of Smith's helmet did hit Smith's facemask after the initial impact. Yes, penalty. Launch no. Dirty no. But, different opinions make for a more interesting discussion. 1 minute ago, Jauronimo said: Agreed.

You cannot go low on the QB either. It happens often enough where the hit will be waist high and the impact and/or QBs' own movement will drive him backwards and the defender slides down toward the QB's knee area by the time they land. Penalty. Get used to them. We will see a bunch of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted this back thread but here is Bashem launching into Josh's helmet after the ball was out. Camera work is fuzzy, but this was a launch. Feet off the ground, legs parallel like Eddie the Eagle ski jumping. Near as I could tell there was not a fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen discussions about how it is better to wear it that way so when helmet is hit it absorbs the energy rather than player. Like argument it is better to not have seat belt on so you are thrown free of crash. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
