  • Eagles coach Andy Reid saw the Jackson-Robinson collision from close range.

    “That was a tough one there from both sides,” Reid said Monday. “The league has put a lot of emphasis on removing the helmet out of the contact point, in particular around the chin or neck area. But some of these are bang-bang.

  • I agree...they should enforce it. The hit by Harrison should've been called when he hit Massaquoi. That's a referee problem, not a league problem.

    The NFL passed rules Wednesday to further protect defenseless players, including ball carriers who lose their helmet during a play. Seven of eight overall rules proposals were adopted.

    The key rules change for player safety bars a defenseless player from being hit in the head or neck area by an opponent who launches himself and uses his helmet, shoulder or forearm to make contact. Previously, those kind of tackles were banned against receivers who couldn't protect themselves, but now it will apply to everyone.

  • Dolphins safety Yeremiah Bell(notes) wonders if the NFL is getting “too strict” about tackles involving the helmet.

    “As a defensive player, you have to think about how you hit somebody now, which is totally ridiculous to me,” Bell said. “You’re trying to get a guy down. Sometimes you get caught leading with your helmet. When you’re going to tackle a guy full speed, you can’t really think, ‘Oh, I have to hit this guy a certain way.’ You have to get him down as best you can. Sometimes it’s helmet to helmet, which guys aren’t trying to do, but that’s just the way it is. It’s part of the game.”

    too bad he doesn't realize the difference between a hit and a tackle.

    If thats How they wanna Roll... Put the word out and Start the Crackdown. But Do it EVERY-TIME... Not like they Suspend Players for other stuff. Him yes , Him No .... Make the rules Concrete and Put and End to the Bitching. DO the Crime Do the Time. I go on Record as saying it will Further Hurt Defenses against the Elite Offenses. And Further make GREAT Offensive Teams ... the Ones winning SUPER BOWLS. You wont see the NY Giant team or Baltimore or Bears Team ever winning S. Bowls... Its will be the High Powered Offenses.

    And thats just NOT Football... its Canadian~Like Football maybe...

  • maybe it's just me...but an article in USA Today from this past May is putting the word out.

    Maybe you dorks in pisspuke don't get the newspaper.

    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.

    Exactly I didnt see ONE Steeler Fan Knock TJ WARD. In Fact several of us said we Like the Kid and would love to have him in the Burgh. These Pussies make up so much BS ... BITTER BITTER BITTER... its so much like a Woman at "That time of the Month"... Go get some testosterone injected and become MEN Again.

  • If it were mendinfall that got tanked like that by rubin you can bet your ass there was a flag and maybe even an expulsion from the game...

    With that said the players get paid to win by any means necessary so in the end its the refs who are not calling this shit to begin with and the penalty needs to go up dramatically for intentional helm to helm..

    Can we talk about fining and suspending shitty refs that dont do their jobs now?

    Refs Refs Refs.... See.... thats BS Whining... You always go to the The NFL Cheats for you Card...LOL. Ya thats why we get TDs called back... all kinds of Stuff to Overcome. The NFL is "Covering their tracks ...right ?" Gips ... BS Bitter Crying.... over and over. I respect the BROWNS...BUT NOT the LARGE Faction of Pussy Fans who are obsessed with Discrediting The Steelers as their MAIN Thought Process. Face It The Rooneys have Built a Organization Respected and admired League WIDE. Network wide... Except in Bitter-Bitchville aka Brownsland. EVERY Week you hear the Praise for the Pittsburgh Steelers Orginization... and It Eats your very Soul. Sad little Soul thats is left.

    You SOUND like and ass EVERYTIME you go there. RichForEagle has you guys PEGGED... he has deserted you due to intense Embarrassment. there is NO Conspiracy Gippy , only delusional Estrogen Filled "Men" ?? ...Like you. Bitter and Pathitic...

  • 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.

    Browns fan like to whine.

  • I would need that luck... but any of our Browns wouldn't need it.

    Remember when Pollygirlieman was tackled by his hair once? He went berserk.

    It's okay to be rough only if it suits the steelers...

    said the referees....

    The Brown's Ryan Tucker never failed a drug test for roids and he WAS immediately cut after he failed it and not kept around on the team for another year.

    Did you remember the Steelers@ Colts game in the divisional round of the playoffs that year? It's a simple question that just needs a yes or no answer.
