[QUOTE="Mijapi, post: 743009, member: 12695"] The problem isn’t with him hitting him or tackling him. It’s with him driving him into the turf with his entire weight on top of him that is the problem. Whether you like it or not, that type of play is bad for the NFL. Barr had at least two steps from the time the ball came out before contact was made, so he knew the ball was gone when he decided to drive him to the ground. There was intent to hurt on that play. Maybe not intent to end his season, but Barr intended to take Rodgers out of that game. And the current rules, and the manner in which they’re enforced, allows for that type of play. Like I said, it was a hell of a play 10 years ago. But not today. Not if you’re serious about player safety. And that’s not just quarterbacks. If a player is defenseless, you should not be allowed to drive them into the ground - [B]especially[/B] when that player doesn’t even have the ball anymore. Also, a point brought up on one of the countless sports talk shows, for those of you saying these players can’t possibly let up with all that momentum: punters and kickers. You aren’t allowed to even touch them once the ball is gone, even though you’re running full speed at them. These are world class athletes. If they train to play a certain way, that’s how they play. And they always train to play within the rules of the game. If it becomes a strictly enforced rules, the players will abide by it. [/QUOTE]
