[QUOTE="Mijapi, post: 743055, member: 12695"] Since you keep posting everywhere that Barr runs a sub 4.50 40... “At the 2014 NFL Combine, [B]Barr[/B] ran the [B]40[/B]-[B]yard dash[/B] in 4.66 seconds” If you’re going to try to use irrelevant stats to support your archaic view of the game, at least make sure they’re accurate. Football players are required to change directions or let up in countless other scenarios: defenseless receivers, any quarterback in the pocket after throwing, punters, kickers. There is nothing different about this play, other than the fact that the rules on that specific type of play aren’t black and white. If Anthony Barr is physically incapable of letting up or adjusting his hit trajectory, he wouldn’t be on a starting roster in today’s NFL. These guys train to do that, because the rules of the game require it in several scenarios. Yes - 10+ years ago, that was a hell of a play and a great hit! Guess what, fans are becoming less barbaric, the NFL depends more on individual players actually playing games to make money, and the NFL is “concerned about player safety”. Anthony Barr could have, and should have let up. This should have been a simple hard knockdown play, not a drive into the turf hit. From Barr’s perspective at the time of the hit, the only possible outcome he could have been hoping for was hurting Rodgers - the ball was already gone so he sure wasn’t making a play on that.
