[Slammed 5,000+ posts]

definitely!!

What do you think of a Staley/Parker combo?

 

[slick rick 10+ year member]

I think the RB from USC needs to get picked up by us...and im not talkin Bush!

Duce is like a faster bettis, but cant fall down for 4 yards like the bus does. if he is healthy we are cool. max starks (from THE U of Florida) handles the O line **** well. we should pick up the LB from Ohio State of a CB if Mr. White is not available.

Hey guys, I went to an overnight SB party and just got home after visiting my grandma in the hospital. Great weekend. She made it through triple bypass surgery with flying colors on Saturday and is already walking a little and then the Steelers win the Super Bowl. It wasn't the prettiest games but a win is a win baby and I couldn't be more happy about it.

The refs sucked again I have to admit that. However, Darrell Jackson DID push off in the endzone. It may not have been much but it was enough to create seperation and thus the ref made the correct call. The one that I thought was questionable was the TD they gave Ben when it didn't look like he got in. If he got in it was when the view was obstructed by the Seattle defender. The holding calls that I saw replays of were CLEARLY holding penalties. You can't put someone in a headlock and NOT think its holding.

Penalties aside it was an ugly game. Ben was subpar. I mean if he puts some air under his pass into the endzone its a TD to Cedrick Wilson. But he keeps it a low trajectory pass and it got picked. Hopefully we can chalk this up to jitters in the biggest game of his career so far. I seriously hope he learns from this. He's just lucky that Hasselback made an even BIGGER mistake.

OK, my prediction in this game was very wrong. I was right that Seattle would score 10 but I also thought the Steelers would score 41 and not 21. Oh well, like I said earlier a SB ring will fit the same no matter what the score was.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Even if Jackson hadn't pushed off, that defender wouldn't have had a chance in hell to break that pass up. It should only be called pass interference if the other person would have had a chance to make a play.

If the pass is way over the reciever's head, the defender can hit the reciever without getting a flag, right?

He got in.

No. You cannot hit a defensless reciever. Especially in the head. i.e. John Lynch, Kenoy Kennedy.

yeaaaaaaaaaaa

woot!

How do you know he wouldn't have been able to make a play?? The letter of the rule states that if a receiver uses there hands or arms to create "seperation" from the defeneder it is OFFENSIVE PASS INTERFERENCE. Chris Hope (the Steeler covering him) was right in Darrell Jackson's vicinity and before Jackson cut back to make the catch he extended his right arm to stop Hope from staying with him. Its clear as day on the replay. So to say he COULDN'T have made a play on the ball anyway is your guess and nothing more. My guess is that he probably would have made the TD catch. However, he pushed off when he probably didn't have to anyway. He is the one that gave the ref a reason to throw the flag therefore he has only himself to blame.

It should only be called pass interference if the other person would have had a chance to make a play.

No offense intended here but this statement makes absolutely NO sense what so ever. If the rules were setup like that we would have ALOT MORE GREY AREA then we already do. What about a receiver that makes an illegal pick on a DB?? Should he not get flagged for offensive pass int.?? Or here is another scenario. Should they only call holding on an offensive lineman when they determine that the guy he was holding could have made a play?? Grey area such as what you're suggesting would make the officiating alot WORSE than it already is.

So I guess what I'm saying as a whole is that it makes NO difference whether the DB would have been able to stop the play or not. Pass int is pass int no matter how close to the play, just like holding is holding no matter how close it is to the ball carrier.

I'm sorry. I must have misinterpreted the rules of pass interference... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

I had always thought that was how it worked, I was wrong.
