I take it you didn’t see the Matthews roughing calls yesterday or last week, and are just basing your statement on your feelings about Matthews? You can actually see matthews turn his head to the left to avoid helmet to helmet contact but what they are hitting these guys with is driving the Qb in to the ground. I don't like it but it's rough watching football with backups in as well so I understand the owners protecting their investment in the Qb's as well as the product on the field. What does a defender do to not land on top of the QB? It all happens in a second or two tops. Does Rog have lawyerly instructional videos available to show defenders how they're supposed to wrap up a QB and suddenly pirouette out of the picture before the QB hits the ground?
Maybe Crazy Canuck can add the attorney point of view to this. Imagine we're at a deposition where Kirk Cousins is suing Clay Mathews for owies sustained in being pushed to the ground during a sack. What's the line of questioning directed at Mathews to determine how much training he got to pirouette out of the way?

Defenders going all out to get passed the OL are just supposed to stop and ask the QB if it’s ok to tackle him? How do you go from balls to the wall to idle that quickly. “Excuse me Mr Trubinsky but would you mind it terribly if I were to tackle you for a slight loss? My defensive coordinator would be most appreciative. I’ll try and be gentle and as a suggestion, you may want to just lay down and let me gently caress your cheek to mark you down. Would that be acceptable good sir?” I believe this will also be deemed to be roughing the passer as they did not say please  |

It's makes it hard on the defender I agree but I guess they are gonna have to learn to go to the mid section and not high forcing yourself to leave your feet and drive the Qb in to the ground. If they do not change the rule that's the only thing they can do. Definitely quit going high and don't go towards the knees. That gives them a target area but you know guys are gonna miss and we won't like these penaties but I guess we are gonna have to adjust or stop watching it forcing them to rethink these changes. |
