Demario Douglas

[Patriotic Fervor]

First, any word on Demario Douglas ' condition?
Secondly, was there any call by the officials on that clothesline tackle?

 

[FCB02062]

didn't know that was an apparently legal tackle

 

[BennyBledsoe]

Nope, no call, dude. And one of the guys on the radio had it right. It may not have been against the rules, per se, but it was definitely unnecessary.

 

[Triumph]

Player safety first.

 

[Brotherblues]

I don't know the exact words written on the rulebook but I do know that tackle had "dirty" written all over it.

 

[Huckleberry1]

That was a forearm shiver to the face. That was the dirtiest hit I have seen in years, and not a word was said about it. And when it was reported that Douglas was out with a head injury the dipshit in the booth went back to blowing the Giants. That was really ****ed up,

 

[Mack Herron]

He should be fined. Douglas was ok in locker room.

 

[sb1]

Player safety first.

No smurf safety first.

 

[203Pat]

Probably a concussion. Misses next game and gives us even less to watch.

 

[Triumph]

No smurf safety first.

did you get Macs roses?

I don't know the exact words written on the rulebook but I do know that tackle had "dirty" written all over it.

I believe the technical term is “ clothesline,” but I like forearm shiver instead.

Do you think they’ll get here by week 5 when Zappy takes over the NFL?

 

[cmasspatsfan]

Should have been called unnecessary roughing.

"Section 2, Article 14(c) : "All players are prohibited from striking, swinging at or clubbing the head, neck or face of an opponent with the wrist(s), arm(s), elbow(s) or hand(s)"

So there's that.

And then Ted Johnson saying it's legal to do that....a former player

 

[slash83]

Dude got tackled with WWF move

 

[pazrul72]

Yeah I couldn’t believe there was no call on that, looked dirty as hell, even if he is a runner it’s football not WWF or XFL. Honestly I have seen gentler tackles in NFL Blitz. The patriots injury luck this year has been horrific.

 

[ctpatsfan77]

Probably a concussion. Misses next game and gives us even less to watch.

"Just spoke to Demario Douglas. He said he does not have a concussion and is doing OK."

Watch he'll miss the next Four games.

Take what Ted says with a huge grain of salt, he has had his share of concussions..
