wish someone would do that to the wisky kicker when he does his silly dance. Hopefully next year when he's healthy again

Why did he get ejected for that?

Because it was a flagrant hit that occurred well after the play was over. Questioning the ejection (this week or last week) is ignorant at best.

That hit that late on anyone when the ball was kicked out of bounds will get you ejected. You can't be serious.




Watch the video. The crow reacts almost simultaneously with the whistle that you an hear, so I don't believe it was as last as you're suggesting. Also, the guy that hit him is the first line of defense so he's not turned around the entire time watching the kick go out of bounds like the other guys.

It was probably late, but the ejection is the part I don't get. I 100% convinced there would be no ejection if it was anyone other than the kicker.

This was last week and it wasn't that late either. Other people are engaged too.



This week.

I'm fine with this becoming a weekly thing.

FWIW, an ejection is applicable for a flagrant foul, defined as:

quote:

ARTICLE 3. A flagrant personal foul is illegal physical contact so extreme or deliberate that it places an opponent in danger of catastrophic injury.


If the kicker was a DE no one would deem he was at risk of catastrophic injury.

Neither hit warrants an ejection. I didnt see the first one live, but it didn't even look like flag. The second one, sure, 15 yards but he only got kicked out because he hit a fat arse kicker.

i watched the video. That hit is completely unnecessary and flagrant. Should be an ejection every time. Arguing against it is just typical you.

You're ignoring that the hits occur when the plays are dead. Saying it's not even a flag just makes you look clueless.

I'm arguing the ejection is the result of it being a kicker. I'm not arguing it is against the letter of the law nor am I suggesting it wasn't a penalty. Do you honestly believe that would be an ejection if you hit a DT like that?
