2018 NFL off-season thread: Mr. Alex Smith goes to Washington

Money

 

I once thought "being driven to the ground" was pretty much the definition of tackling. They don't go down voluntarily.

They might as well just make it illegal to tackle QBs altogether if they're gonna call that shit. We'll just go with flag football rules for that position.

 

I meant people other than the NFL and its officials.

 

Hopefully, it's preseason for the officials too.
Wow, blown calls like that will ruin interest in the game.

 

Looks like the Ravens will open the season without cornerback Jimmy Smith. According to a report on The Athletic, Smith is facing a 'multi-week" league suspension. He was suspended four games last season for violating the league's PED policy, but the report doesn't make it clear what the reason for the upcoming suspension will be. It sounds like he has already been suspended, but the league hasn't made it public yet pending Smith's appeal.

 

Guaranteed that type of play won't be called if its Vontaze Burifect or Terrell Suggs sacking Ben Roethlisberger.

 

I really am surprised that Roethlisberger hasn't publicly flipped out about officiating at least once in his career, partly because he's a little too open with what he is willing to say on occasion. I just wonder if it is all really big quarterbacks with some mobility who seem to take more illegal hits with no call than they should or just Roethlisberger and Cam Newton.

 

I know we don't pre-arrest people, but Richie Incognito is pretty clearly going to kill somebody.

Richie Incognito arrested for disorderly conduct, threats

 

If that was Brady being tackled the defender would be ejected, suspended and the Pats awarded 2 touchdowns and a 2nd round pick.

 

Devil93 has no problem with pre-arresting people.

 

Hasn’t he already been on psych hold once?

 

Who would get an NFL job first and who is last. Tebow, Dez, Michael Sam, Kaepernick or Incognito?
