This is why it's absolutely infuriating to me that they don't call more spearing.


It's not just horribly unsafe for the offense of players it's all so horribly unsafe for the people actually doing it.


I really like Malone.

He made a helmet-first hit on a tight end that didn't look all that strange but clearly jammed his spine or otherwise damaged his back.

He led with the crown of the helmet which is a really bad idea.

I think there have been two plays the Steelers snapped the ball like a half second after zero on the play clock pretty weird no calls

The play clock shows "0" when the time remaining drops from 1.00 to 0.99, so technically it isn't a delay of game until the clock reads 0 for a full second.

Yup. Perfect way to get a compression fx somewhere. But also great for injuring whoever you hit, so what Eifert said, call spearing lots more.

There are players on my team and other teams where you literally don't see them make a tackle where they're not spearing.

google shazier spearing

first link: http://www.steelersdepot.com/2017/0...-deshone-kizer/

choice quotes:

"Seeing this clip today does make me think Shazier has a little bit of a case. The part that still concerns me is the spear tackling form he took going in. Terrible form and you can see his neck and head kind of smash in on the hit. Just not a great way to play the game for his own safety, let alone the other guys."

"My sympathy lies with the intent, not the technique. IMO, he got fined because he launched. He's only going to injure himself if he keeps spearing with his helmet like that. I agree with his case that he attempted his tackle either before or simultaneously with the slide. But leaving the ground gives him no leeway. Stand your ground, and wrap up."

"This leading with the helmet is becoming a regular occurrence with Shazier. He is going to start getting a big old referee target on his back (like Harrison used to). Have friends in a. Umber of other NFL cities and from their perspective Shazier is developing a bad reputation as a dirty hitter, due to the # Helmet hits he's done. Needs to clean up his act, tackle properly (SEE what you're tackling! It keeps you from spearing). He's too talented for this and the team cannot afford the penalties."

Steelers defensive coaches should've cleaned that up, sadly.

Yeah I guess when you raise your head up the helmet will make contact on the top of the back side of your pads which prevents your actual spine from compressing. When your neck is fully extended and you hit with the crown you don't get that protection. Still, a hit like that whether accidental or purposeful can always, always happen

They're only letting the receivers in the cornerbacks fight this game aren't they?

That definitely could have been called DPI


The chippiness is starting to come back. If you are wondering how long it would take before a near-death on the field gets forgotten in this rivalry the answer is about 15 minutes.
