Horse Collar Tackle Rule
« on: October 29, 2006, 03:14:11 PM »
If your gonna have the rule, you NEED to enforce it!!!

Jacksonville vs. Philadelphia

Eagles Punter tackles our return man via Horse Collar, now, it wasn't all that bad, and it was a great tackle for a punter, but he clearly used the horse collar tackle, with one hand on the arm and the other inside the shoulder pads.

Could of caused a serious injury, and may have, we'll have to see how our return man feels tomorrow..

He fell straight on his back and was stunned for a few secs.

Anyone else see it? Anyone else have input?

PISSED ME OFF!!

Rules that protect the players are necessary but you GOTTA follow through with at least a fine to this punter.

the NFL babies kickers & QBs cause if they didn't ever team would need to hire a dozen of each at the begining of the season (probably two dozen for playoff bound teams).  now that there are more QBs like Vince Young, who could probably play both ways (as a MLB on defense), its time for the kickers to beef up a bit...

The punter MADE the horse collar tackle ON the returning teams return man.

Thus, the punter was not in any danger if he had not made that horse collar tackle...

Considering he WAS bigger than our return man, he shoulda been called on it.



You call the penalty regardless!!


No holding calls on guys hands smaller then 8inches across!


# 8 Dirk Johnson  
 Position: P
Height: 6-0
Weight: 205

vs.

# 32 Maurice Jones-Drew  
 Position: RB
Height: 5-7
Weight: 212


Not much difference!

Several inches taller, and a few pounds lighter.

I guess we did get a good lick on him, but it was before he did that tackle.

So the Return Man gets ripped on all game and after because a "Punter" pwned him?   I believe the right call was made, so does the Return Man.   A Punter....:rofl :rofl

You need to look no farther than Superbowl 40 and Joey Porter's horse collar tackle that prevented a TD, and the no-call by the refs, to see how rediculous the rule is, since its not enforced.

The horse-collar tackle is an American football tackle in which a defender grabs the back inside of an opponent's shoulder pads and yanks the ball-carrier downwards, a technique which has been used for decades. The tackle was banned from the NFL during the 2005 offseason.

Following the 2004-2005 season, the NFL's Competition Committee reviewed video of the entire season and concluded that the horse-collar tackle resulted in six serious injuries, most notably to Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Terrell Owens, who suffered a severely sprained ankle and a broken fibula after a horse-collar tackle. On May 23, 2005, NFL owners voted 27-5 to ban the tackle
