Adams was stood up. NO excuse to hit him when he was defenseless.
And the refs SHOOD have whistled it dead sooner. It was obvious Adams wasn't getting any further.

How often do we see a player stopped and stood up, only to end up falling forward for an extra couple yards. Or even having the Oline show up and push them for an extra 5 or 10 yards. they blow the play dead and offenses would lose all that extra free yardage.

Why blow the whistle if the player isn't down? You keep fighting and fighting for more yards. If they can't bring you down, that's not your fault. You keep fighting.

It's not player safety either. It's over governance of the game. Let the players play the damn game. When the ball carrier is on the ground, that and only that time is when you blow the whistle.

The game isn't this hard people. It really isn't.

I think once more than a couple players from each team end up in the pile, it should be blown dead.

When you get hurt is when you are the ball carrier and think my forward progress has stopped so I let up BROKEN LEG. Stop the non sense. Let the players play.

Edit, forgive the asshole tone there, not intentional but reading it now, wow. My bad.

If forward progress is stopped, they are supposed to blow the whistle.
That happens every game.

It does happen every game, exactly proving my point. It's wrong. The whistle blows and who ever backs down first? It's terrible, awful rule.

I don't like all the rules in the NFL and this one has always boggling my mind how little attention people give it's absurd (my opinion anyhow) existence.

My problem with the play was that the only contact option left was to Adam's head but that was not the only option Trevethon had. He could have gone into the pile already there to assist in stopping progress. You see it all the time. With a player in a defenseless position I'm sorry but the option to go to the head should be off the table.
By the grace of God Adams came thru this somehow, however, I wonder what the discussion would be if he were laying in a hospital bed not moving. I know I never want to see a hit like that again and I doubt any one else does either. Heaven forbid this might allow the ball to advance another yard in these rugby scrum-like plays but in the big picture IMO it's the right thing to do.
These guys have 50-60 plays to get a lick in on a player. This type of circumstances just shouldn't be one of them.

beast (12h) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season

beast (12h) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

beast (12h) : I think the NFL recently changed the IR rules, so maybe the season might not be over for OL Glover.

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : *to be able

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : and because it's not a dynasty league (which makes a lot more sense to be ability to trade picks)

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Oh I know; I was just exploring and it blew my mind that you could trade picks because of the whole reordering thing

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Zero, I think I preferred my offer: your 1st for my 15th rounder

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Keep in mind, we do a draft reorder once all members locked in

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : You can have my 12th Rd for your 2nd round

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : Family Night! WE ARE SO BACK!

Mucky Tundra (2-Aug) : To this day, I'm still miffed about his 4 TD game against Dallas on Thanksgiving going to waste

Martha Careful (2-Aug) : Congratulations Sterling Sharpe. He was terrific and I loved watching him play.

beast (2-Aug) : I believe it's technically against the CBA rules, but Jerry just calls it a simple unofficial chat... and somehow gets away with it.

beast (2-Aug) : Jerry Jones is infamous for ̶n̶e̶g̶o̶t̶i̶a̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ chatting with players one on one... and going around the agent.

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Oo just saw a blurb saying that Dallas negotiated directly with Parsons and not through his agent

Zero2Cool (1-Aug) : McLaurin nor Micah going anywhere. They will get money

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : the Synder years or do they take care of one of their own?

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Do the Commanders risk losing a top WR with an emerging QB just because he's turning 30 and potentially risk damaging the rebuild from

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Turns 30 this September, plays at a high level and Washington has some cap space I believe
