What happened to PT?

hagan714 · 01-14-2012, 08:15 PM

saints offense seemed lost once PT went down. Any word on him?

Payton said he was alright. I'm sure he has a concussion after that hit. Legal hit by rule but it was cheap.

Actually.....it was NOT a legal hit. You may not lead with the head or make a hit helmet to helmet on another player. The refs missed that call badly.

Afraid it was legal. Once a catch is made and the receiver establishes himself as a runner, there is no helmet to helmet penalty. It is only illegal on QB and defenseless receiver.

Wrong again. Straight from the rule book:

" using any part of a players helmet (including the top/crown and forehead/hairline parts) or facemask to butt, spear, or ram an opponent violently or unnecessarily; although such violent or unnecessary use of the helmet is impermissible against any opponent."

If the league is concerned about concussions caused by helmet to helmet, then it should be illegal for all players. If not, then stop harping on player safety. I got a feeling the refs were 49er fans today anyway.

I was thinking it was illegal; didn't think the defense could "spear" like that. P.T. did duck into it I guess...

Pierre Thomas getting hurt was a big reason we lost. While Chris Ivory runs over guys, Pierre Thomas is much better at shifting through a defense, which I think would have played out a lot better running on the 49ers defense.
