Head-to-Head Hits & New Rule Discussion
-
I believe the article that I posted mentioned 2 other hits besides the ones by Harrison. The focus here is on the Harrison hits because it's the Browns board and his hits happened against our team. If you don't like it, don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.
You asswipe steeler fans are still saying that it wasn't that bad or shouldn't have been a penalty and I've given two examples from people OUTSIDE OF CLEVELAND who are saying that it was a penalty and that he should be fined and that the refs blew the call and it should've been flagged. When just one of you dolts will take your head out of your ass long enough to admit that it was an illegal hit, we'll stop telling you that it was.

Absolutely! That's how we were all taught from grade school up but as long as the NFL turns a blind eye to HGH and steroids these guys will just keep getting bigger, faster, and stronger. You saw violent collisions a few times per week 20 years ago now you see them 20 times per game, every game.This has nothing to do with Harrison's legal hits yesterday, it's just an observation that has been growing more and more prevalent every year.
You support the team who is the poster-child for HGH, so your comments ring hollow.
Now you support the team's star player who is the poster child for rape.
Yet you still come here with the Wholly Art Thy smug attitude. You are paper thin in ethics, please don't try to teach.

Oh really? Wasn't it the CLEVELAND BROWNS who had multiple players connected to HGH doctor Galea? http://www.cleveland-browns-blog.com/cleve...with-dr-an.html
Poster child for rape..... NO CHARGES, let alone convictions. How about Lawrence Taylor, wouldnt he be the rape poster child? Wouldn't Cleveland be the poster child for losing, whining, and staph infections?

Awesome post.
I'm certain that these Steeler residents just keep these threads alive so they can boast their post count.

honestly, I think there's a fine line being walked here with regards to the hits. On the one hand, I agree that football is a contact sport. You know from day 1 of pee-wee football that you're going to get hit hard and often. Also, despite some very cold indiviuals I don't think anyone is wanting to go out there, lead with his helmet and hit someone. That is just dangerous to the person doing the hitting.
Rodney Harrison made a good point last night in Sunday Night football, and this is true for those of us who played DB at all. You are taught when a reciever is coming across the middle to hit right at the chest area, leading with the shoulder to try and jar the ball loose. Unfortunately, this often times leads to what looks like leading with the helmet. This is just going get called more and more and will eventually lead to players using a different technique to tackle entirely.
either way, I expect harrison to see a big fine. looking at that momass hit several times now, I'm pretty on the fence about it. I honestly think it was a clean hit, but momass was pretty defenseless on the play. What's interesting to me is to look at this way: If he would of caught that ball, desean jackson for that matter, is it still as bad a hit? He's not any less defenseless but it seems it's a lot different. I do think, and most steeler fans I know even admit, that Harrison is just a bad dude, Jack Tatum esque player. He's not looking to injure anyone badly, but doesn't care if he does.

Your article 100% supports that Jamal Lewis was against HGH and used hard work to hone his body. Cute injection of Shaun Roger links throughout though that made no sense.
Like I said, Pittsburgh will forever be known as the HGH poster child of professional sports. The aspects you support surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers stand for everything that is bad in proffesional sports. May God have mercy on your soul.

The key words in your post was that Massaquoi "was defenseless" and that is the new rule this year protecting the defenseless receiver from being hit.
There have been dozens of far less hits than Harrisons yesterday that have been flagged for that exact penalty, trust me...I watch the games all day long and am constantly flipping the channels and see it called all over the league for a lot less.
For what it's worth, later in the same Peter King column, he calls out the officiatng crew in the Browns/Steelers game for missing the call on Massaquoi as the very definition of a hit on a defenseless player.

it's frustrating to try to discuss the issue when someone's only input is Harrison, Harrison, Harrison when in fact TJ Ward made the worst helmet to helmet contact in the entire game.Harrison is a dirty, spearing fool and that is why you are out here trying to defend him with a million nonsense posts, blaming the league and probably God himself as well that Harrison is being picked on unfairly.
You just can't reconcile the fact that your organization hired and defends rapists and girlfriend-beaters as their premier players. Face it.
"TJ Ward made the worst helmet to helmet contact in the entire game"? You are a sad liar.
Someone whose football opinion I respect very much said to me in the mid 70's: "The Steelers are the dirtiest team in football". That was quite a statement given the Raiders teams of the 70s.
It is still true.

You are such an idiot. Harison tee'ed off on a DEFENSELESS RECEIVER, plus went for the head shot by violently flairing his forearms through the receivers mug. No one has said shit about helmet to helmet hit in this second flagrant hit in the same quarter by Harrison. The league is cracking down this season on such hits. Almost always this has been flagged upon taking place, except in Pittsburgh where HGH, Rape, and inflicting paralysis is cheered and embraced.
You lost this game upon joining the hoopla celebrating the return of a two-time rapist, and you lost again failing to grasp three threads started here on this topic.
Did you get any sleep last night, or with Ben back in town were you afraid to shut your eyes?

If anyone watched Sunday night football - the pregame show they were talking about the hard hits in todays game and 2 plays were selected to be talked about and discussed.
1. The hit on Desean Jackson
2. The hit on MoMass & Cribbs
It surprises me that not even one "cheap shot" or "helmet-to helmet" plays that the Steeler fans came to the Browns board to talk about was not picked.
Tony Dungy and the other even advocated having upto 4 games or more of suspension for such players since monetary fines seem to mean nothing in the NFL nowadays. I agree with Tony Dungy.

It's impossible for the Steeler fans to see what really happened because they have shit covering their eyes from having their heads so far up their own ass.
Once again from Peter King:
HOW DO YOU NOT CALL A HIT ON THE DEFENSELESS RECEIVER, WALT ANDERSON AND CREW, IN THE CLEVELAND-PITTSBURGH GAME, WHEN JAMES HARRISON NEARLY BEHEADS MOHAMED MASSAQUOI? I mean, come on. That's a textbook hit where the receiver had no chance to protect himself coming across the middle, and Harrison went right to Massaquoi's head. For a league that talks about protecting exposed players from kill shots, this was an inexcusable non-call. Have I hit that note enough now?

BTW....if you read the full article, anyone notice the picture that was used on the first page when talking about the hits the helmet? That's right...Roid rage harrison on Massaquoi....but it wasn't that bad right steeler fans?

Leading with your head is just plain stupid. Anyone see Eric LeGrand from Rutgers he made a hit on a kick-off head first arms down just like Harrison's hit on Gribbs now he's paralyzed from the neck down.
Harrison's hit on MoMass was just a hard hit. The Gribbs hit was intent to injure.

Defending yourself in a discussion with a lunatic is like arguing with the religious nutbags on the street corner in Cleveland, or telling a homeless person to get a job.Actually, that was a horribly weak defense from someone who claims not to be defending himself.
Are you sure you understand how this is supposed to work?
Keep lying & making things up, and by all means increase the insults. It is your calling and you have talent.

Do little green men haunt your dreams because you are from Cleveland?
You guys are pathetic
You just need to get that you are a Steelers fan on a Browns board trying to convince the Browns fan that an unfair hit on Momass is fair cos the referees did not throw the flag when it is nationally accepted as being a foul hit.
Why is it so hard for u to accept the truth or atleast stay in your own forum ? are u an internet warrior who wants to flex his virtual muscles and keep typing till all the world has accepted what u say is correct ?

alright. anyone, and i do mean anyone, ever play even HS football?
did you ever have enough time to see a guy and actually have time to think "hey, i'm gonna hit this guy in the head"?
i'll answer that for you.................................NO.
the game is played at such a frantic speed, even at that level, that mostly you're just trying to get your hands on the guy.
so quit acting like this is something Harrison could have even planned. he was trying to play the game like it's supposed to be played......fast, aggressive, and
not for women.

Helmet to Helmet hits is something that the NFL is trying to remove, however the rules are not consistent the refereeing too is not consistent enough to achieve this. Also since this is a more recent rule compared to the history of football, it requires the coaches to alter the way the player is taught to tackle.
If u had a son playing high school football and if he were to have a severe concussion, you would be singing a very different tune

I'll give you that one...
Now...you admit that Harrison's hit on Massaquoi should've been called a penalty and he's likely to receive a very large fine this week. Which will do nothing to stop him from doing the same thing again unless he and others are suspended (as suggested by Rodney Harrison on the NBC pregame show).
