C’mon.. WTF is going on with America’s game?
With the new rule change to again protect the QB the defense is going to have to become more passive when going after the passer.
Due to what happened to Tom Brady last year when Brady suffered a torn ACL in his left knee on a low hit by Bernard Pollard with 7:27 left in the first quarter of the first game of the season. All Pollard did was rush the QB, get blocked and just like he has been taught all his life was crab to the ball and make the tackle.
Now with new rule changes this same play would probably be a TD as the defensive player will have to get up while being held and hit the QB around the waste.. all this within 5 seconds from the time of snap.
Without this injury would anyone know who Matt Cassel is? would he be now making over $14mill? No.. but thats football..
Whats next? having those soccer slideline guys run out with those mini stretchers?
Right on D2B! I could not believe this rule was passed — geesh! QB’s are already protected enough in a high-impact, brutal game of contact. What a joke!
