Now weā€™ll get to post about whether or not it was forcible instead of about how stupid the rule is

How stupid what rule is? Do you think roughing the passer shouldnā€™t be a penalty? Or do you think that contact to the helmet or below the knee should be allowed?

Yeah the general rule is fine because the idea was to get pass rushers to focus on traditional tackling techniques and ā€œwrapping upā€ the QB instead of trying to annihilate him, and a year or two of over-enforcing before pulling back might even have been the best way to accelerate that.

I think the clarification is fine, even if the language is vague Iā€™m sure the refs look at a ton of past film and they pick it apart to say ā€œthis should have been no flag, this one was fine, etc.ā€

The stupidity was that if your fingernail brushes against Bradyā€™s helmet you get penalized 15 yards

I was under the impression you meant that the change did not make anything better.

In the off-season even.

shame about becton, maybe his right knee just canā€™t handle a 6ā€™7 OL frame/weight. Which 99.x% of ours wouldnā€™t either.

I know he could surprise everybody with a comeback but man, itā€™s downright impressive the number of Jets 1st/2nd round picks in the last fifteen years or so that wind up out of the league or on the scrap heap in a few years.

at least ā€œbecause he got injuredā€ is an improvement of a reason

and itā€™s longer than 15ā€¦ see jets draft blunders video

and the best player on the bears requests a trade

great

heā€™s wrong though, itā€™s not the regime lowballing, itā€™s because the bears ownership are cheap as hell

I mean just donā€™t offer him then, I donā€™t mind not paying a linebacker as your biggest contract these days but sheesh donā€™t do that.

And that video doesnā€™t even include all of the Jets busts either from that era. Probably couldnā€™t find footage of all of them.

I assume thereā€™s probably footage but itā€™s awful and they wanted a quick clip that was good all around. Just putting out names that nobody remembers like all of them now isnā€™t gonna work but Oh NOOOOOOO and ā€œI thought weā€™d take Marino, clearly the Jets know something we donā€™tā€ is A+

Last week, the NFL appointed Peter C. Harvey, a former New Jersey attorney general, to hear the appeal of Watsonā€™s suspension for violations of the NFLā€™s personal conduct policy. Goodell said Tuesday he did not know when Harvey would make a ruling.

They should ban him for 2023.

and watson too

doesnā€™t matter, sounds like something heā€™d say

looks real

I think someone tweeted it as a joke and AB either agreed or found it funny and retweeted it. Good laughs for all of us for sure
