He was outside the pocket. All protections are gone except roughing the passer. The hit wasn’t late just low and hard. More of a frak play with how his leg got caught under him.

Wilson has both feet in the air - so the hit drives him backwards. When Wilson lands his leg buckles under him and they go to the ground. Guy let’s go of his leg and Wilson ends up on top of him. If he wanted to injure him - don’t let go of the leg. If Guy had kept ahold of the leg and pinned it as they rolled - I would agree - he was trying to injure him, but he hit him and took him down and let go of the leg. A dirty play was the hit on Josh where the guy purposely rolled and twisted the leg. The reason the hit by Guy looks so bad is Wilson throws the ball and then gets both legs off the turf, but that just caused his body to drive backwards and land awkwardly with the hit. The player didn’t even take a step into Wilson after the throw - he is literally breaking down and hitting Wilson as he throws the ball away. Plus that hit is his left leg and the injury was to the right leg - so the 2 are unrelated. Really looks to me like the leg just pops out of there. Guy had no intention of letting go it just happened. Either way, he's diving at a leg as the guy is throwing the ball. It's a dangerous play.

I'm unfamiliar with PCL injuries - assuming it doesn't need surgery, what's the timeline? Depends on how severe and the final grading. Per Dr. Chao - most likely several weeks with IR likely. Reading a bit on it - the Jets need to let it heal up well - most likely should not need surgery, but it can cause knee instability - which could lead to eventual MCL or ACL injury. There should be no need for the Jets to rush him back at all - might as well give him time to sit, learn, and maybe grow (if they were smart, but it is the Jets). Hap - I agree with your first part - he ends up throwing the ball away - he should have made the decision a bit quicker and thrown it away and continued OOB, but we see that from QBs - just waiting hoping a guy will pop open at the last second and they take a big hit because of it.

I agree that is a dangerous play, but to me that is different from an illegal play and a guy that is purposefully trying to injure someone. As I said in my original post - the play could have been handled differently by both Wilson and Guy and made it less dangerous, but Guy did not look like he was trying to “take out a knee” or injure Wilson on purpose. Wilson left his feet as the hit came - the hit started at hip level and the jump moved it down to the upper thighs. The hit drove Wilson back and he landed awkwardly on the left leg - which got stuck and twisted under their bodies. The leg popped out from underneath and Guy did not hold it and he did not try to “barrel roll” with the leg or twist it. Compared to some cheap shots that some NYJ (and Pats) former D-linemen have taken - that to me was an unfortunate football play. It was not necessarily dirty or late - just a bad looking result on a hustle play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Ed Oliver falling on Mahomes' feet trying to make a play while getting pushed is roughing the passer, that first hit on Wilson HAS to be called. Wilson was out of the pocket and running to the sideline. I'm not sure on the rules for when you count as a runner versus a QB, but if Wilson counted as a runner there, hitting him low is not against the rules. If you are in the pocket, it is definitely against the rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jets didn't help Darnold and it appears they are making the same mistake with Wilson. I don't agree with this. IMO the Bills did a terrible job in developing Allen through the off season camps, preseason and the early part of the 2018 season. The Bills clearly didn't expect to or want to play Allen his rookie year. They completely tore down their offense in preparation for the rebuild. The last thing I suspect they wanted to do was throw Allen to the wolves with the worst collection of offensive talent in the NFL that year. Allen did not take many first team reps throughout training camp and the preseason and the competition for the starting job was between Peterman & McCarron. When McCarron bolted, rumors claim he didn't want to babysit Allen, the Bills were left with starting Peterman! Arguably the worst QB in the NFL. But given how fierce the defenses were in the first 4 games of the Bills schedule that year - Ravens, Chargers, Vikings & Packers - the Bills opted to start Peterman. The problem was Peterman set another horrible NFL record to add to his most INT's in a half. The offense did not get a 1st down through the first 9 series. Allen went in and to avoid a fan revolt they had no choice but to start Allen the next week. Making matters worse there was no veteran QB to help Allen out and his "top" WR dropped at least 3 TD's during Allen's first few starts! It was only after Allen got hurt that the Bills got their act together and: * dumped Holmes and Benjamin at WR who were killing Allen's confidence with their drops * brought in two veteran QB's to stabilize he QB room and provide Allen with much needed guidance. That Allen survived the Bills mismanagement and actually was thriving by the end of his rookie season is a testament to his fortitude. It is true that after his rookie season the Bills have been brilliant in developing Allen and providing him with the tools to succeed. But the notion that the Bills organization was smart in developing Allen early in his career is not supported by the evidence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That first hit was brutal and most likely where most if not all of the damage to his pcl occurred. Blatant hit that looks like a dirty pats play going almost directly right for his knees and yet no call in a wide open field where there is no excuse or way the refs did not see it yet ignored it. This stuff is what hurts the NFL; phantom holding calls like on Morse, yet the most dangerous type of hit below the waist directed at a qbs knees and nothing but crickets. That crew needs to be fined and let’s hope this pats crap doesn’t show up when Josh is exposed. Afc is filled with good teams and we have 2 conference losses. Titans destroyed the Chiefs, so just another sign we don’t want to go there in the pLayoffs. Bengals, Ravens, Raiders all look good and are 5-2 so we need to get our red zone issues solved and not play down to weaker teams we will be facing. I think Daboll needs to back off on so many personnel groups and simplify things for consistency. Titans have a good formula, run game threat and it opens their passing game up along with an ability to pressure and hit the qb. We have to get better line play, and I hope Mcd stops the “ numbers” game with all the rotating inactive. You drafted all the d lineman , no need for 8 active o lineman on game day ( that’d why we have swing guys , right?) , so get AJ & Basham playing and getting reps as we have to hit the qb. The Bucs, Pack, and Cards look legit as well so we have lots of progress to get to their level of consistency if we actually have title hopes. It is really easy to have a consistent offense game plan when you have a Derrick Henry in your backfield. Probably no offensive Non-QB is more important in the NFL.

Wilson's trajectory will be Sam Darnold #2, let him waste away at the jets and get traded for next to nothing in a few years as the Jets sign their next savior.
