The good news for the NFL is it appears to have fixed the catch Dario Agrazal Jersey rule. The bad news is no one cares because everyone is too busy . And with good reason: it's creating some serious controversy in the preseason thus far, with things coming to a peak this weekend during the Cardinals-Chargers Week 1 preseason matchup.In this game, two separate hits that appeared legal to the average viewing eye were flagged for, ostensibly, using a helmet as a weapon.Before we dive into those plays, let's look at the specifics of the rule put in place this offseason: "It is a foul if a player lowers his head to initiate and make contact with his helmet against an opponent." More NFL That seems specific and obvious, but it's not. The problem for the NFL is players are lowering their helmets constantly, in all different situations. The first from this game occurred on a play involving safety A.J. Howard, who was flagged for unnece sary roughne s on during a play that was ruled a catch and a fumble but called back for a foul. This is was the penalty call in the Cardinals game, called hit on a defensele s receiver but more likely it was the new lowering the helmet rule gifdsports (@gifdsports) "He put the hat right on the ball," Cardinals broadcaster Ron Wolfley lamented during the game.Look at the angle Howard is taking here -- how is he supposed to do anything OTHER Steven Brault Jersey than "lead with his helmet"? Should he dropkick him? Launch his body sideways? Stand up straight and hope to pull Culkin down?Technically this first one was not ruled a leading with the helmet situation -- the refs flagged Howard for hitting a defensele s receiver. Not so for , who would be flagged on the first play of the fourth quarter for leading with the helmet. If this hit by S Travell Dixon is a penalty now, we are all in trouble. This is textbook. uSTADIUM (@uSTADIUM) Again, Wolfley lost his mind. And it's hard to blame him, especially with the play that was specifically flagged for leading the helmet. Look at this: dude is standing straight up and tackles the ballcarrier.There's no way you could look at this play and, with any reasonable sense of accuracy, believe the player in question actually led with his helmet.From the full wide angle, because I gue s we need to see that too.I mean, I don't know where to start. I don't think he even led with his helmet in the first place, but if the league believes this is correct, it's just a ma sive problem. How on earth Jameson Taillon Jersey can anyone actually tackle? He stood there and took the guy down. There's just a ma sive difference between trying to hurt someone with a helmet and trying to simply tackle someone and having your helmet be near the tackle in question. Players can't Jose Osuna Jersey separate their arms and shoulders and contact with the helmet 100 percent of the time. This should at least be reviewable right?People on social media are melting down about this, and it's also kind of understandable. Asked about the new NFL Helmet rule, Gruden starts laughing. Says there are gray areas that can cost you football games. JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) Forget the Anthem debate, the new helmet rule, if enforced regularly during the regular season, is going to kill the NFL. Brad Evans (@YahooNoise) Based on how the new helmet rule has been called so far this pre season, it will be a game changer. Players will test if the rule will be emphasized the same way Richard Rodriguez Jersey in regular season games. Tedy Bruschi (@TedyBruschiESPN) This new helmet rule is gonna be a problem Damien Woody (@damienwoody) , of which there were plenty, especially from Cardinals fans. People are confused, because there's a vastly different set of circumstances involving someone putting a helmet on the ball and someone trying to target another player's head with their helmet. I get that the play in which was injured last year would have been a penalty and perhaps that's the logic, to try and make sure NFL players aren't suffering spine injuries. That's a good thing. But the league doesn't appear to have a clear handle on it, and it's creating confusion.As , that the league probably needs to change and/or rewrite the rule before the regular season begins, and before a game is altered because the NFL wanted to jam this rule into play ahead of the 2018 season. |
