Defenseless player... Added 2012.  I need to rewatch the video, but I don't believe Taylor is moving parallel to the end line.. he was moving more of primary direction of away from the endzone. Looking purely at this still.. it appears to support that. No Online video that I could find from here.  Anyone able to upload the segment with this block?

It depends on which endzone they're calling theirs... if they're calling the end zone they're defending then he's moving towards it for the block... And based on that wording it has NOTHING to do with the hit... it's the "approach" which makes it illegal... Based on that wording it's illegal for a blocker to use their athletic abilities and catch up to a guy from behind and touch him.... (but lets be honest... if it wasn't a big hit, and if it wasn't keep the guy down for a while, then the NFL probably wouldn't of cared or noticed this hit and wouldn't of said it's illegal... at least that's my current thought.) |

Defenseless is a WR going up for the ball, extending his arms and making his body vulnerable.
This is just a guy who didn't keep his head on a swivel. Fuck him. |
It's not whether you get knocked down, it's whether you get back up again. |

I just want to say, two weeks after the fact, that the fine is complete fucking bullshit. It was a great block by Taylor. Textbook.
;-)
Much better.
