NCAA Approves "Aaron Murray Rule"

#30

A violent hit is not always an illegal one. We are seeing flags being thrown because of the dynamic force behind the hit. On replay, often, no helmets were involved. If a ref feels such a hit is grievous enough to disqualify a player, I hope they have enough sense to review the play from every conceivable angel in super slow motion. Otherwise, physical teams, in physical games, will need much more depth.

You're only half right. Murray was heading toward the returner. He was only about ten yards away when he got hit. But he was simply trotting along and didn't give the appearance of someone who was committed to making a tackle.

So really, he made the worst decision he could make. He put himself in a position where it could reasonably be assumed that he was going to get involved in the play, and he wasn't paying attention and didn't protect himself.

The point is that it was obvious he wasn't trying to make a play on the ball carrier. I hate UGA as much as almost any team, but that player was out of line. The guy that blocked Murray was headhunting and saw a chance to take a free shot at him. I don't have a problem with hard hits as long as it's part of the play, but when a player is that far away and not involved in the play, I draw the line. Any team should scream bloody murder if their QB is treated that way. If A. J. Maccarron had been hit that way and ended up having to sit for a couple of games due to injury, all he_ _ would have broken loose in Bammerland.

The hit was a part of the play. Murray was an eligible defender who was making his way toward the ball carrier. If he'd moved toward his sideline or simply stood where he way, I'd agree with you completely. But it's the player's responsibility to protect himself, and that responsibility is even more critical when the player is a QB. If you are going to be a spectator, be a spectator. Jogging toward the play without any concern for what's going on around you is not protecting yourself.

Janzen Jackson and all of VolNation agrees... even though the refs muffed this call after watching the replay.

then they should not be allowed to try and tackle the returner. Either tell them to sit down or run directly to the sidelines

Cracking up thinking about this.

Can you imagine?

--

QB: "Well ****"

D lineman: "Ha. Sit your butt down"

QB: "I know, I know"

* Sits down and watches touchdown *

Hmmm.. Just QB? Get confusing when a QB lineup at wideout and someone else takes the direct snap.

The quarterback is whoever takes the snap. A player's 'position' is determined only by where he lines up on the field pre-snap. What he is labeled on the roster does not matter. Pretty simple.

He left himself open to those calls because the way he launched himself.

Check the caption under the picture... "helmet to helmet".

He may have left himself open, but the whole issue was that he may a very hard hit (much like Bama described) and therefore a penalty was called. As far as I'm aware, there is nothing he did that was illegal at the time... just a hard, aggressive play.

This is what goes through AJ's head during a pass play.

"Hmmmmm....The WR is open 30 yards down the field? Nawwww, too risky ill just dump it off to the RB."

Just admit that you never watched a single Bama game last year, including the TSIO

That seems impossible given that you said...

...despite the fact that these happened in those games:

vs. Tennessee - Amari Cooper 42 Yd Pass From AJ McCarron
vs. Tennessee - Kenny Bell 39 Yd Pass From AJ McCarron
vs. Georgia - Amari Cooper 45 Yd Pass From AJ McCarron
vs. Notre Dame - Amari Cooper 34 Yd Pass From AJ McCarron

Maybe you watched them, but you are so blinded by your homerism that you can't help saying stupid **** at every opportunity.

Football excels at creating many detailed, specific, situation rules. Rather than one simple general rule that states "no contact of any kind above the shoulders", they'd rather have a rule about helmet to helmet, and another rule about grabbing the face mask, and another rule about horsecollar, another one about blow to a QBs head, etc, etc, etc. This is one reason I have seen my interest slightly diminish. Especially with the time of the game situational rules - I really hate those. Play the game the same way all 60 minutes.

If he throws a 10 yard pass to Cooper, then Cooper runs 30 yards.....is it really a 40 yard pass?


Let that sink in

that hit was not part of the play and pretty much only bammers believe it was. that was a cheap shot taken at the head of a quarterback by dial. no matter how many times you say it wasn't that doesn't make what you believe true. if it was AJ you would be jumping up and down crying and complaining about a cheap shot on your qb. there is no defending that play. Orange Maniac was dead on in his comments on that play.
