I hate the rule and especially it’s subjective nature but I haven’t, personally, seen them differentiate between qb and normal player when the qb is attempting to pass.I hear you…but the fumble happened before any contact was made which makes the ball live…and the QB should be viewed as a normal player..he didn’t need the protection rules they implemented for QB’s at that point and the football move our defensive player made had nothing to do with the play causing the fumble.
The purpose of the tweet is incorrect IMHO. They "looked" competitive (even though they weren't) b/c Josh took his foot off the gas? No. Josh took the foot off the gas (as in going vanilla and often ineffective on offense) BECAUSE their defense was more than competitive. That DL was stifling our run and pressuring Nico far too much.I think it's possible we could have dropped a few more touchdowns but it would have been risky, both increasing our chance of losing and possibly getting Nico hurt.
That run Nico made on the zone read definitely made me think there was a chance he could have taken over the game if we'd needed him to even with suspect blocking. Why take the risk though? They weren't coming back against our D.
Good question about if his status is not "passer." Kind of a weak call , regardless.Actually not sure - is it still roughing the passer if he has just fumbled, instead of just thrown the ball… I don’t think so, but could be wrong. Either way, they hit Nico’s helmet/facemask on one of his strip sacks and of course it wasn’t called.
Post more, please.
Because the Sec office is in the arm pit capital of the world Birmingham Alabama. They should move it to a city with no Sec teams or affiliation. Like Nashville Tennessee.I love how they were like oh incomplete pass we can't review it... That's a reviewable play they chose not to review
