Seems like it'd be way too hard to define.

NFL Off Topic

I’m not sure exactly what this is. The video in the article of Mahomes getting injured didn’t look like a malicious type of tackle or even close to the parallels they’re making with the horse collar technique.

Guys are so big and fast and maybe we have all the camera angles now, but it does seem like these injuries where guys get caught up under a defender are happening more. I feel like I’ve seen more gruesome injuries over the last few years than i saw combined earlier in life watching football.

I’m with Smash, it will be hard to define and call on the field. Horse collar is pretty clear. So I would just hate to see defenders handicapped again for trying to tackle the ball carrier. This type of tackle, from what I saw, seemed to at least be a tackle attempt and not just a grab and pull like the horse collar. I don’t like trying to legislate out actual tackle attempts.

EDIT: watched a different video that was much more clear. Yeah, I see why they say it’s the brother or sister of the horse collar in those examples. But again, it’s much more subtle and I still think it’s at least a legitimate tackle attempt. Horse collar doesn’t come up too often in the game but I could see this one being a nightmare for officials and teams.

I agree with both you.

My friend agrees too. He wasn't trying to hurt me. He was just trying to get me to ground [emoji23]. 10 screws and plate later. It's like 25 years [emoji23]

Report: Malik Cunningham re-signing to Patriots’ practice squad

I thought I was reading an older article. But saw the date. This was yesterday lol. I can't imagine being pulled in so many directions. From practice squad to call up 3 year contract to back to practice squad. Is this because Matt Jones has a good game?

I'm not sure how a defender avoids doing it. If you're wrapping up someone at the waist and they pull you along, I don't see any way your body doesn't fall on their legs.

Maybe there is a way to coach against it, though

Personally for me. There is no way to stop this. As much as my friend jokes about this. He is kind of right. If I just go down my ankle doesn't break. But that's never going to happen for a runner.

How did they get approval to wear them in the first place?

The NFL can claim whatever they want but would have to win in court.

Nike made the jerseys without any problems from their legal team. The jersey or merchandise was never put up for purchase.

The university decided not to merchandise it, this is probably an indication that they knew they couldn't do it without a big lawsuit. Rice used the same color scheme this year and got no letter from the NFL.

NFL claims that this would cause confusion with the NFL team, being licensed or associated with them. I don't see how it would confuse anyone. Maybe they need to add cougars to the front and then it's just similar colors if they use their existing red color.

Schefter:
It’s a new day in Las Vegas.
Raiders’ head coach: Antonio Pierce.
Raiders’ general manager: Champ Kelly.
Pierce will make his NFL head coaching debut on Sunday vs. his former New York Giants team.

Re: NFL Off Topic

It felt right. It was one thing last year with all the collapses and close losses, but the vibes aren't good there.

I'm somewhat surprised this didn't happen a day sooner. They could have traded a few pieces and went into rebuild. But at 3-5, I guess they feel they could salvage the season.

Is McDaniels the first Head Coach to be fired mid season two times?

“Josh McDaniels is the first head coach in NFL history to be fired before the end of his 2nd season for two different teams. McDaniels was fired by the #broncos after Week 13 in his 2nd season (2010)”

Re: NFL Off Topic

Impressive feat. Raiders seem directionless. McDaniels to NE when?

Somewhere, Rich Bisaccia smiles. He should’ve gotten that job, at least over McD.
