More frequent roughing the passer calls..

anybody think we're getting extra personal fouls against Cam due to his status as an up and coming rookie?

There was one in the Arizona game were the finger of a defender tipped his face mask and they got 15 yards

the other day I have no idea what the first foul against newton was about. Maybe two guys hitting him up high and low? I know that would be illegal blocking somebody but not tackling. It certainly wasn't a late hit.

There have been some legit ones but I doubt Clausen would get the same attention.

I suppose it's nice but I'd rather just have consistent judgments than needing a golden boy at QB to get some ref attention. If this is the way it has to be I sure am happy it's in our favor.

Ya think? It was called a "late hit." Which you and I know is quite impossible when the ball is flailing in the air. Yes you can thank Mike Vick for the NFL's new stance on protecting star QBs who will be the future face of the NFL. I believe in protecting our league's assets but not to the point that it affects the outcome of a game. Sure it was the middle of the third quarter but that call keeps you guys in the game and changes everything.

The problem with the rules right now is that you can take that play and show it to five different referees in real time and three opinions come out of the other end. These protection rules need to be clarified in the offseason to protect the integrity of the game. We could have just as easily been the benefactors of a bad call on a Brees hit (I think we've gotten a couple this year) and I don't want to win that way.

UNPOSSIBLE! The refs are out to get us, remember?

There was a game in either 2007 or 2008 where Peppers got flagged for basically hugging Brees after coming to as much of a complete stop as a defensive player of his stature could. There is no weaker RTP call than that.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
