HEY CARSON

There is no way that was a penalty. The penalty call on the field wasn't a real penalty.. It was  "hit on a defenseless player". I've seen defenseless receivers; never a defensless QB. I don't know how a Qb holding a ball for 6 seconds and rolling outside of the pocket could ever be defenseless.

 

Edit: We should get a good view of it next week when Hardy racks up another three sacks.

So per these new rules, what are you supposed to do with your head when you're reaching out to tackle someone? 

HAVENT U SEEN THE PLAYFUL COMMERCIALS TEACHING HEADS UP TACKLING TO KIDS!?  It makes it so you can never ever force a fumble because your not using ur head to punch the ball out.  It's absurdly difficult to actually wrap up because you're expected to keep your head and shoulders higher up than the ball carriers.  Because of previously said fact, it's pretty damn easy for the ball carrier's helmet to smash directly into ur chin strap, potentially causing serious whiplash.  Oh not to mention because of the new rule changes to quarterbacks, if ur helmet even BRUSHES a QBs helmet while performing said "heads up" tackle you get flagged 15 yards for it.  YAY!

I wouldn't be surprised if Palmer was tentative as fug when we play against them.  You know he remembers that hit, probably thinking "Damn, I got play against that son of a bitch that ended my season last year again already?"  He's going to be looking to get rid of that ball quick, so the secondary needs to come to play.

 

I'm honestly surprised they didn't eject Hardy from the game for murder.  I really thought he killed Carson Palmer with that hit.

    • 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.
