quote:

The fifth provision of Rule 12, Section 2, Article 12 (roughing the passer) says that: "A rushing defender is prohibited from forcibly hitting in the knee area or below a passer who has one or both feet on the ground, even if the initial contact is above the knee. It is not a foul if the defender is blocked (or fouled) into the passer and has no opportunity to avoid him."


Seeing the rule I really have to question what the media is complaining about. He was going after the passer and was blocked towards the grownd at his knees. By rule this should be a clean hit.

Nobody talks about Drew's mobility on the play where we had the pass interference called on leber with david thomas out there. Drew was able to keep that play alive and a sack for that 15 yard loss could have cost us the NFC championship. Drew did what had to be done for his team to win. Brett did what he had to do for his team to lose.
