I think the NFL changed the rule because of him that you are down where you start but not sure. Defenders should not have to pull back the second they go into the motion is how I see it. 30 degree angle or 5 degrees with the ground it should not matter. Until you are on the ground it's open season on the QB. |

Re: Saints cheap shots on Matty Lice??
To say if the Penalty on Vaccaro was warranted or not, I dunno.
The thing about that play was the fact both the dive and slid almost happened at the same time, you can tell that Vaccaro tried to pull back, which is why he never completely slammed the living hell out of Ryan. What kind of bothers me about it though is Daunte Whitner of the 49ers is quite famous for plays like this and he never gets flagged for it, if be on QB or anyone else. |

Re: Saints cheap shots on Matty Lice??
Cheap? Uh, no. It cost us 15 yards.lol
Seriously though, I think it was overly aggressive and was not intended to be cheap. |

Re: Saints cheap shots on Matty Lice??
I only saw the first one - Vaccaro flagged for 15. I do think the ref has to throw the flag there, because Roger would fire them if they didn't.
Was it a cheap shot? No. Not on this or any other planet. It's FOOTBALL, or at least it is for now... |

Re: Saints cheap shots on Matty Lice??
He got flagged for it. Thats what happens. Roddy Whites constant push offs are just as cheap as far as sportsmanship goes. I also give Kenny a pass because he is a rookie. The rest of the hits were legit and Ryan got what he deserved. Not our fault his line cannot protect an STD.
I have a feeling behind that line Ryan won't last half the season. |

These rules are making these defenders scared to do their jobs. Seriously our guy just ran up to him and stopped right in his face and just threw his arms up like he was trying to scare him. It was actuallly kind of funny. Anyone else see this? |

Now if he does it again I might be upset. But at that moment that is something that needed to be done. |
