I don't understand your reasoning. Neither Orton nor Harrison was carrying the ball.

Further evidence.. per the quote of the article.. lol.

After recovering a fumble, which eventually was ruled not a fumble, in Sunday night's game between the Steelers and the Broncos, linebacker James Harrison encountered Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton. Orton, not cognizant of the line between bravery and lunacy, tried to tackle Harrison. So Harrison unloaded on Orton. Hard.

Damn, so much for focusing on the details and missing the big picture. Yes, now I understand the oddity of the play -- the ballcarrier spearing the quarterback.

I can be an idiot sometimes.

I don't see how you can just excuse Harrison for that play. It's absolutely unecessary. In no way would hitting Orton that low benefit the play. It's just Harrison being a totaly idiot, once again.

So if Orton takes his knee out it is okay?

Orton went low.. Harrison followed suit.. I seriously don't see the issue in the hit or that fact that if Orton was jawing on the field that he got popped.. and legally at that.. it wasn't a Sapp hit on Clifton or anything... and he didn't spear him with the helmet.. he went shoulder first.

It's not illegal, but it makes no sense.

There's no benefit to getting your shoulder low there and hit Orton, besides some kind of revenge.

And your intuition when someone's coming at you like that is not to lower your shoulder to the point where you fall over and ram into him. Especially not if you're build like James Harrison.

It's not awful or illegal, but it just has no use.

Neither does diving at ones knees... I really don't see an issue with it.. and it more than likely sent a message that Orton won't forget soon.. honestly we need more of that type of play in the NFL.. hard and legal..

Seriously though.. where is Harrison suppose to go with someone going low on you?

Want to make it clear again

Even tho I think it was a dirty play ( I will explain more detail) I am fine with what he did, I just dont think the NFL will be..

He did not "spear" him in the typical sense..I will give you that...

He appears to be a foot out of bounds knowing he will be down right there, but he lowered his head to hit Orton with it..

Watch it very very slow, Orton turns to expose his back then Harrison lowers his head..Up until that point Harrison is standing up right and very possibly could keep running, or turn it to the inside..

Now if that same play happens midfield I think NOTHING off it..But it just looks like a revenge hit and the league I think has issues with that

Umm, ask William Henderson. ;)

I'm game with the hit. I'd have had a little extra UMPFH coming for the QB personally.

beast (7h) : Yeah, but is Kampman and the others in the NFL Hall of Fame?

Zero2Cool (7h) : Johnson was Hall of Fame, 2020. Should haev been in Ring a year later, not three years.

Zero2Cool (7h) : I could be wrong there though

Zero2Cool (7h) : Guys like Kampman, Tim Harris, Al Harris, etc all over 15 years. Hall of Fame is 5 year wait

Zero2Cool (9h) : Yeah, he's in the ring of honor, just saw video and his name is up there

Zero2Cool (9h) : Didn't they have a thing in 2023 for Jimmy's ring of honor? I swear I saw it

beast (9h) : Though if they're legitimately trying to re-sign MM, then it makes sense.

beast (9h) : Jerry Jones still hasn't put Jimmy Johnson in the Ring of Honor, but he's in the NFL's Hall of Fame, Jones is petty

Mucky Tundra (21h) : Unless the Cowboys are planning an extension, seems kinda petty

beast (23h) : Cowboys denied Bears request

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : From what I'm reading, MM is under contract through the 14th of January; after that he's free game

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : McCarthy let go or not extended??

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Chicago Bears have asked the Dallas Cowboys permission to interview Mike McCarthy for head coaching vacancy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : The winners page that is

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : I was not hoping for that. It messes up the page lol

beast (6-Jan) : Thank you, and I was really opening we were going to get 4 or more tied for the top 3.

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : what the hell was that Goff?! Not much pressure and he just air mails it to Harrison

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : They really need to to get rid of the auto first down for illegal contact

Martha Careful (6-Jan) : watching the Vikings and Lions it's understandable why they swept the Packers. So much better product

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Even when GB got pressure he was throwing darts; vs no pressure on that last pass he just air mails an open guy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : didn't have guys in his face ... pressure makes difference

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Where was this Darnold vs GB?

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : BALL DON'T LIE

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : how was that not a safety? Goff throws it at an offensive lineman

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero, I thought that was a given! ;)

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero I looked through earlier and noticed the same thing. Bonkers year. I just wonder if beast put any money on games
