Brady Poppinga says the hit on Adams was not cheap. Does he have a point?








Edit: Removed 'illegal' as I didn't embed that Tweet and can't find it so I must have misread it.

I can partially agree that I don't think Trevathon was intentionally trying to hurt Adams.

but I mostly disagree. This wasn't a case where he was going in for a hit and Adams ducked to change the point of contact. Devante was stood up and Trevathon went in high spearing with the crown of the helmet. no doubt it was illegal and should have been enough to have gotten him ejected immediately.
The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

I realize Brady was thinking about the rules when he played. It would not have been flagged. But times have changed. It's illegal by today's rules.

Who here remembers Chuck Cecil? He used to be one of my favorite players long before we knew about CET. He wouldn't last a quarter in today's NFL.

We're no longer ignorant about brain injuries so the game either evolves or dies.

1) Refs should have blown whistle sooner.
2) That play must be taken out of football. It wasn't just bad for Adams. Those hits can take their toll on the deliverer too.

I don't think it was cheap because I don't think Trevathan meant to hit him in the head (just my opinion)

But I do think it was illegal, because he both he lead with the crown of his helmet straight into Adams helmets, both of which are illegal.

If Adams had broken the defenders grasp, and attempted to continue to run, then Trevathan efforts could of been extremely important... so I think Trevathan had to make a split second subconscious decision to hit or pull up... and all their training it go with instincts and attack and that's what happen.

Like beast said, it wasn't cheap but the current rules say its illegal. Poppinga says it wasn't cheap but I don't see where he says it was legal.

I think this is what confused me.

Hitting Adams in general may not have been cheap but looking at the ground so he could use the crown of his helmet as a missile sure as shit was.
