Smith totally launches himself



What the Saints had to say about the hit

The Saints weren’t vocally upset about the hit after the game, for the most part. Alvin Kamara himself didn’t have much to say about the hit.


“Did one come out? It is what is. It doesn’t matter what I was expecting…Yeah, I’m cool. I came back out, didn’t I?”

Drew Brees said to “let the league deal with that” when he was referring to Smith’s hit on Kamara potentially being fined.

Head coach Sean Payton, who is on the NFL Competition Committee, gave the referees a little leeway with their mistake:


“I was involved in the process of the rule. Listen, those are hard to call as well. Really, it’s tough when the guys are moving around real fast. I haven’t seen it as cleanly as you guys have. Listen, we got beat. We got beat tonight and there will be a number of things we that we can point to but overall, we just didn’t do enough as a team.”

Saints defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins had the strongest reaction after the game, via NOLA.com:


“Jaylon Smith’s head was down. He launched right into Kamara, hit him with the crown of his helmet,” defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins said. “That’s above my pay grade to say what the league should and should not do, what officials should and should not do.

“But, I play football, and I know what a helmet-to-helmet is, and to me it was helmet to helmet.”

Re: Cowboys’ Jaylon Smith fined for hit on Alvin Kamara

All offseason all I heard was about how much attention was going to be payed to the helmet rule. People were worried linemen would get flags just for doing their jobs. It was going to ruin the NFL.
Yet here we are.

Re: Cowboys’ Jaylon Smith fined for hit on Alvin Kamara

I don't get why refs need cameras on the field. Can't they have press box refs who look at this stuff immediately. It would make the game go a lot faster instead of waiting on the field refs and things like this could be caught easily and make the game safer.

The whole challenge and camera review needs improvement.

We were supposed to lose. Didn't you read the Dallas Fake Win Conspiracy Thread?

Hell officials view penalties and TDS from NY after 2 min warning don’t they? Why can’t they look at all the controversial calls. It would make a hell of a lot more sense to do that, especially when it comes to helmet contact than to deal with it after the fact. A player gets by with it once and he thinks the refs aren’t going to call it tight during that particular game and wind up delivering another hit that gets somebody seriously injured.

Re: Cowboys’ Jaylon Smith fined for hit on Alvin Kamara

A perfect example of how "The League" can manipulate the outcome of games. The hit to the helmet, the "generous spot" for the "first" down. Look at any close or "BIG" game and you'll see the same thing. The next CBA should be very interesting with two "rival" leagues on the horizon.

Actually, the fines go to charity, so it's a tax write-off for the players...

You want to affect real change? Pull game checks and have them sit out games...

Betcha Mark Ingram even has pause when he reaches for the salt at the dinner table now...

Re: Cowboys’ Jaylon Smith fined for hit on Alvin Kamara

So.... what's the fine on the officials for missing an obvious call?

They did fire one official this year... I suppose as a warning shot, not that it's made any difference, obviously.

Re: Cowboys’ Jaylon Smith fined for hit on Alvin Kamara

$13k fine for Lattimore putting money in the Salvation Army prop. I’ll bet donations went up the next day...
$26k for spearing the helmet.
The fines are ridiculous for both.

While we’re at it, how the hell os Burfict still in the league? The #1 most fined player in the NFL at over $450k.... there’s more evidence of his intent to injure than 10 seasons of bounty gate yet the guy is still allowed to play.

The NFL’s mismanagement of fouls, replay and hits is what will drive people away.
