Is Alexander good enough for NFL?

[Blueforlife]

Why?

I liked the sack and while I agree with the penalty by the book, kinda ticky tac

[Blueforlife]

Wow, Dickenson The Greater screaming in a silent stadium totally audible with crazy swear bombs.  Everyone knows that's a penalty and he's having a conniption.

Not sure what his beef is.  Rules say you can't contact any part of the QB helmet, no matter what.  And tell your D to not rip it off to make it super obvious!  LOL

Post-game I'm going to have to go back to see if I can transcript that DTG rant.  Wild stuff!  Can he get a fine for that much vitriol?  In MLB that can get a HC kicked out of the game.

Yeah he went off, fine not likely.

I told you we need him HERE no matter the cost or illegal tampering required.  Put the word on the street NOW.  Any offer he gets + $200k + $200k MMM.

He's going to more cups than anyone else in the next 5 years assuming he has a decent team around him.

I thought it was brutal and totally unnecessary.  The only argument you could make, as DTG did, is he bent over.  But the rules are clear, you cannot hit the head, no matter what the QB does.  It's been that way for a few years.

VAJ hurt, but not his brain.  Ankle?  Ahh... tail bone?  He'll be fine, but those can really hurt.

[Blueforlife]

VAJ slight limp?

Can't eliminate that from the game, bang bang
Bent over so helmets banged
I know the way it's called and yes a penalty by the book
I don't believe the guy sacking him could have done anything else or adjusted that quickly
I don't agree with your 1st sentence but I get it, gotta play clean, nobody wants head shots

Ya, but they took away the requirement "he had to be able to do something" a few years back.  The only possible mitigation listed in the rule book is if the D was pushed or similar.  And it still may not apply to head hits.

Ya, a few years ago I'd agree with you, but they've changed all this stuff because QBs are getting too injured.

I know I'd like Zach to have protection from that hit.  If Zach takes that he's probably out of the game immediately and we probably lose.  That's no fun.

VAJ knee?

A love the rule, just hate the occasional one like that
Agree need our stars

[Blueforlife]

Alexander got HAMMERED

[Tecno]

Those long-delay blitzes are killer.  They are hammering QBs in this game and all season.  Very deadly.

Only works against QBs that hold the ball a long time (ones that think they have a good OL).  So in that sense we may be immune.   

[Blueforlife]

Ok VAJ not hurt looks like a magician lol

[Tecno]

Well that was nuts.  He had some serious speed on that one.  Maybe faster than Davis with his iffy hammy right now.

Haha, after they show DTG and he's getting shivers up his spine from the crazy play of his QB, LOL.  Bromance.
