And most teams don't allow you to hit low in an inter squad scrimmage. They tell you to stay up. And I'm pretty sure you don't have to worry about a fine for a big hit after a scrimmage game. So he probably would've went for the REAL kill shot. Which is the upper body. So you're telling me you think Swearinger hit him with the intentions to try and end the mans career? Because I just saw a guy catch a punt, get blasted in the abdomen AFTER he caught the ball, and the defender get flagged; and my dad's a referee, so I immediately went crazy and he said that's just the rules now. And my first response was, so what, you want him to go low and blow the dudes knee out? And my dad said yeah, that's basically what's going to happen. So the fact that Swearinger decided to go low instead of high doesn't surprise me at all; and there's nothing wrong with it in the 1st place. If it's been such a problem and so dirty and such an epidemic where' the rule against it? So we can sit up here and pretend like we haven't seen legal hit after legal hit get flagged and then the player later fined for the same hit if you want. But I guarantee you the players aren't pretending. And this will be the aftermath. |
