I thought it was a stupid call. Moss got his hands on the ball and Ko was running full speed at him. It's ridiculous to expect a defender to stop his forward momentum in a split second. Now, if the NFL decides it was a helmet-to-helmet hit then he will be fined. Otherwise, it was a stupid call by the ref.
On the first drive, Ko Simpson illegally hit Moss helmet to helmet. Dan Dierdorff pointed out that he "hit a defenseless receiver."
What does this "defenseless receiver" rule encompass? Is it just helmet to helmet? Is shoulder to helmet illegal too?
They changed the rule. You can't do that anymore. This rule doesn't bother me. Especially after Tatum-Stingley. WRs who go up for the ball are defenceless.
As a DB Hate the rule it turns football in to a boring sport rather than a collision sport. You can't touch a receiver to stop him from catching the ball.
If you arrive and blast him as he catches it, you are fine. In this case the DB knew damn well that Moss didn't catch the ball and tagged him anyway. I am a DB coach and I hate the NFL's emphasis on offense but that was a good call.
No you are not. You cannot launch yourself into a receiver...irregardless of whether or not he catches the ball, or it already bounced off his hands. You can only "blast" a receiver after he catches the ball and is a ball carrier.
