Head-to-Head Hits & New Rule Discussion
-
on espn's 'Around The Horn' they suggested players commiting these flagrant type of hits (even if not penalized) should be ejected from the game and automatically suspended from 2-4 games. they also called harrison a headhunter and that the league is looking for a way to weed out such miscreants while weighing the violence of the game vs. player safety.
SEE YA HARRISON, YOU BIG FLIPPIN' GOON!!!!
BTW: turkey jones would have suspended a year and fined out the ying yang if he did such a thing in today's nfl. and there would be no argument with that here.

Maybe he took a page out of habitual ball grabber, Shawn Smith's playbook.
PITTSBURGH (AP)—Steelers linebacker James Harrison(notes) states his objective matter-of-factly: He’s out to hurt any opposing player who roams into his vicinity.
If he sees players down on the turf—as he did Sunday when he sidelined Browns wide receivers Joshua Cribbs(notes) and Mohamed Massaquoi(notes) with punishing hits only minutes apart during the second quarter—he feels as if he’s done his job.
Harrison said he doesn’t want to put any player out of a game or jeopardize his career. The former AP Defensive Player of the Year also realizes it can be difficult to draw a line between merely hurting a player and badly injuring him as plays take place at full speed and hits are delivered with little time to consider the consequences.

One of the few that plays the game the way it was intended.....Turkey Joness would be ashamed of all this crying
I won't bitch about the Cribbs hit because I figure the league will decide whether it was legal. I can see the debatability of that play. The Massaquoi hit was the definition of illegal. That said, I think many players go all out and make plays. They may fall on the illegal side of things without that necessarily being out of the intent to be outside the bounds of legal play.
James Harrison's comments suggest, however, that he is on the illegal side of that coin and wants to be there. In an age where the league is trying to protect players (including Harrison) it's particularly insensitive to beat your chest in the media with gorilla-like bravado. What's worse is that in his puny mind, he thinks that since Cribbs was unconscious ('asleep' in his words) that the hit was somehow "ok" or less severe.
Helloooo, MCFLY!!! When you lose consciousness after head trauma....it's not a good thing! Dr. Harrison! That's a Grade III concussion per the Colorado Guidelines and the AAN Guidelines (That's the worst kind). Josh Cribbs didn't decide to take a nap on the field and it's not alright.

Harrison shouldn't say he wants to hurt ppl, especially in the media. I agree there. And the Massa hit was an unintentional head to head, however it was head to head and he should be fined because of the rule and only because of the rule. I dont think it was a cheap shot, just a ferocious hit by an all out player. These two teams are rivals and thats how rivals treat each other. I for one, wouldnt want it any other way, from either side.

YOU ALSO ROOT FOR THE STEELERS SO YOUR OPINION SHOULDN'T AND DOESN'T COUNT ON A BROWNS BOARD.

That was in retaliation to the Cardinals player diving at Harrison's knees. Keep hating though. Browns fans would kill for a player like Harrison. Right now their defense is as soft as they come.
Your an idiot. I would NOT want a roid monkey like Harrison on my team.

Harrison isnt going anywhere.....Around the horn is a bunch of bleeding hearts that should be made to wear dresses on that show. Turkey Jones should have gotten what he got, a 3000.00 fine and a 15 yd penalty, in todays NFL and yesterdays.
This game is going to suck in a few years if ppl keep crying.......its really going to suck. Might as well put flags on their hips.....

i'm not saying the game needs to change. they need to make sure no one gets killed/paralyzed or seriously injured. in every generation there have been goons that played the game, guys that were dirty players. well harrison just happens to be one of them and he plays for the steelers.

First off, quit using my damn line from Back to the Future. I got copyrights on that line on this board
And also, in this league, what goes around, comes around. Maybe, just maybe someone will take it upon themselves to pull a Hines Ward and give him a blind side coldcock that will give him a little involuntary nap someday.
-
Yep, what goes around comes around, you play hard you hit hard and you win hard, on the other hand you whine hard you whine more and lose more
Stopt the whining and start the hitting

Yes, let the legal hitting begin, I love tj wards presence, and willingness to hit people, but not in the head. Though he did hit Shipley, which I agree was a fine worthy hit, he did not go straight for shipley's head while he was already being tackled. The hit Harrison put on cribbs was strictly aimed at his head, technichaly the hit is legal but only an asshole purposely aims to paralyze a person by hitting them in the head. The massaquoi hit was once again aimed at his head even though he led with his shoulder, why couldn't he hit him in the pads? Harrison is a presence but an asshole nonetheless, go join a steelers board if you support them, like you seem to do. We already have enough unintelligence floating around this board

People on around the horn are crying about it because it gets people to tune in, the mass media is usually about being as dramatic as possible all the time because it's what garners the most attention. Frame by frame the mo-mass hit. You will see that it's Harrison's shoulder that makes initial contact with Mo-mass and knocks his helmet back, not his helmet. The Cribbs hit on the other hand is a part of football, both hits are for that matter. Issac Newton would certainly have a problem with all this bs if he were still alive. It's getting ridiculous. Also let's not kid ourselves for a minute. If it were Browns player inflicting the damage the stories here would be completely different. Don't get it twisted girls.
Quick someone make a motion to change the league from the NFL to the National Flag Football League.
Bunch of gutless cry babies.
It's a full contact sport that gets it's viewership because of it's violence. Eliminate that and less people tune in to watch and you change the course of the game as we know it. Best part in it all is Peter King has Rodney Harrison has a "expert" on the issue. I just about died laughing the first time I read his most recent article. It's a damn joke.
AKA SNATCH98 or Rorbotron. The boards glorious admins decided to get cute and change my name to "homotron" Classy group of people. (Lost a bet with Columbus king and got banned for a month) -
Frame by frame it from a appropriate angle. Harrison's Shoulder is what drills Mo-mass initially.
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
aaaaaaaahmbulance! Wooooo Woooooo

Rodney Harrison a notorious head hunter and formerly voted "Dirtiest player in the NFL" has a lot of room to comment on the issue. Harrison will not be suspended and I can't believe people are calling for it. I guess everyone wants a bitch ass football league to watch every Sunday. It's bad enough with the Retarded QB contact flags, let's eliminate hard tackles too. Pretty soon we will have flags. The only reason any of you simpletons are crying is because two Browns went down this Sunday.

You are so xxxxing full of shit it's not even funny.... Remember 2 weeks ago when you were crying like a little bitch about TJ Wards hit on Shipley... I said this: " YOU LIMP DICK FAGGOTS WOULD NOT EVEN SNEEZE AT THIS IF IT WERE HINESY WARD LAYING THE HIT "Harrison, Ward... Same douche bag in my opinion.
Same as you.
Once again you simple xxxx because you and I already hashed this out once I didn't say anything about Shipley. I didn't watch that game, didn't see the hit and don't believe players should be penalized for playing aggressively. You routinely lump every Steeler fan in to the same boat. Last I checked I'm the only one here posting under this moderator altered name. I'll wait for my apology you simple xxxx.

What changed your tune? Because you now realize using Rodney Harrison as some sort of authority on the issue is not only moronic but IRONIC? It's Football, violent hits happen. I have a problem with horse collars, I have a problem with blatant cheap shots after the whistle or when the ball is clearly out of play but i DON"T have a problem with guys playing aggressively and trying to win ball games. All the NFL is doing now is neutering defenses. You know that guy you all are quickly falling in love with by the name of Ward? who shares the same number as Troy. He'll be altering his game if a new rule is put in place and it's a damn shame. We're fans of the NFL, fans of violence, aggression and competition. Start throwing out all these bullshit rules and you alter the course of the game forever. Truthfully you should be ashamed of yourselves. It's the xxxxing NFL! Christ.

Rodney Harrison just said on NBC that defensive players need to be suspended for the shots to the head, which included the hit by Harrison on Massaquoi.
I see what you did there. Rodney never said anything about Harrison's hit. He was talking in gneral $5,000 fines are nothing for people making millions.

You do know your name is spunk on my back, right? So...how does that feel? Do you let all the Steelers put it in dry or just Big Ben and Harrison?
