UGA's Keith Marshall and Justin Scott-Wesley out for the season

[BigZiti09]

not at all surprised that would get called a clean hit around here. it's effectively no different than a DE diving at a QBs knees. tackling is using your arms to tackle not using yourself as a projectile or trying to undercut someone.



I'm not saying it was intentional by any means but you show me one coach who teaches tackling by undercutting a player at the knees. they teach tackling by driving your shoulder into the body of the player and wrapping your arms around them, but if you say so it's the same thing i guess.


as is yours so, guess we're even



again show me this textbook that does not include wrapping a player up and hitting him in his knee


sooooo does that make it a clean hit? as i've said i'm sure it wasn't intentional by any means and the guy isn't a dirty player but he wasn't playing the ball or the player otherwise he wouldn't have been so low as to take out a knee



not if he didn't launch or lead with the helmet to the helmet. a shoulder to the torso or chest to chest so that he could use his arms to tackle wouldn't have gotten him a targeting/

Man, that is a lot of typing for someone who obviously doesn't know what he's talking about.

He didn't even hit him in the knee. He hit him in the thigh. Here's a link with a looping gif file where you can see it. Keith Marshall injury: Georgia RB out of Tennessee game due to this hit - SBNation.com

So much fail in this post. And he didn't hit him in the knee.

Even the Georgia fan said it wasn't a dirty hit. In fact, nobody in the media or any of the coaches (you know, the guys that know what they are talking about) haven't said anything about it.

The only person that seems to think this was some dirty play is you.

You might want to actually watch the hit as you clearly have no idea what you're talking about. Even the announcers said there was absolutely nothing dirty or intentional about it.

Oh yeah so much fail that the only flaw you can point out is I said knee instead of thigh, ask Marshall how much difference that makes to him. When either of you two have something to refute what I said then please speak up.Like i said before, anyone that can show this to be a clean and textbook hit I will then consider changing my opinion.

 

[Catbone]

was a dirty play IMO that took out Marshall, shouldn't have happened

And you should GTFO

How about this: you say the play was dirty, yet you say it wasn't necessarily intentional. "Dirty" in football lingo implies intention. It has to be one or the other; can't be both. Perhaps the word you're looking for is sloppy. Perhaps it was a sloppy tackle in your opinion, not a dirty one.

 

[volger]

His right leg was planted around the same time as he took a "shoulder" to the "thigh". Bad things can happen if football. Far from a dirty hit.

 

[TennesseeFan07]

Unfortunate.

it wasnt a textbook hit as his helmet was down, but it wasnt dirty, far from it

Sutton hit him on the hips. It just happened that his foot was on the ground and caught in the ground.

I already have. Neither head coach has said anything about it. I could go back and probably find several instances of "non-textbook" tackles in any game where nobody was injured. What do you expect, a perfect form tackle on every play? It was unfortunate all around and everyone feels bad about it. But there was certainly nothing dirty or intentional about any of it. Cam made a play on the reception, nothing more nothing less. It really isn't that hard to understand.

you will find plenty of non-textbook tackles that didn't cause injury and plenty of textbook ones that did cause injury. so basically you're saying that you're fine with every tackle being made on a vol player to happen with a shoulder to the thigh or even possibly knee and if half the team gets hurt you're fine with it? am i understanding you correctly? and because neither coach has said anything about it that's all the evidence you need? try this one for size

“That hit me deep. Keith was a guy that came off injury before, he’s a great guy, great teammate, and he didn’t deserve that,” sophomore outside linebacker Jordan Jenkins said. “I think it was a dirty hit, some people thought it was because of the targeting rule. Nobody wants to hit a guy high anymore, they don’t want to get that penalty. That’s just what football is now.”

i'll give you that one, sloppy is also accurate which goes against most saying it was a textbook tackle.

Fleetwood trollin'. I checked her post history; there are other fine examples of troll-like behavior. The UGA game reactions (including halftime reactions) definitely increased my ignore list.

Why are there so many drama queens that post just to elicit a reaction?

Shocker. She should run along and find a Michigan St or Ohio St board to troll. Those of us in SEC country don't care about her Big 10 whines.

Its the game of football. This stuff happens. So yes, as long as it isn't dirty or intentional, I'm fine with it.

Dirty definitely wasn't accurate at all to describe the hit. I certainly don't like seeing anyone get hurt at all and football is definitely a violent sport and accidents happen. There are also some outright "dirty" hits but I Sutton's hit on Marshall wasn't. Even though the hit caused the injury there were a combination of events the lead to it. The bad read by Murray and the bad throw that he had to try to adjust his body to try to make the catch didn't help things.

my whole point being that i'm sure he had no intention of hurting anyone but logic and common sense tells you that bad things are going to happen when you're effectively diving at someones knees (i know he hit thigh but it's the same principle).

i love how so many people get so butthurt over an opinion that isn't the same as theirs. :good!:
