stevegrab Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Maybe, might, could possibly consider. Nothing to freak out about. "The NFL Competition Committee is expected to consider looking into the “mechanics of the tackle” during their offseason discussions and could perhaps even ban so-called “hip-drop” tackles like the one employed by 49ers safety Jimmie Ward." 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyBalata Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 meh.....there has been a lot of angst early on this week about similiar tackles causing similiar injuries to star player. non football people thing omg! it's the nature of the game. whats a 300 lber to do? he's gonna wrap up around the waste like he's taught and fall to the ground. the tacklee should get his foot out of the way! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplemonster Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 That's interesting that Rugby has banned it. I had never thought about a hip drop, what it is, or how it might cause injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This story aside, have there been any updates on the Coach Of The Year prospects and finalists? I haven't been paying attention because I knew that Brian Daboll was a foregone conclusion from the jump. There must be someone out there willing to make an "actual" bet on the outcome, instead of the usual pseudo macho 'all talk no action' rhetoric. You know, some over reactive, non objective fan boy of a team whose head coach won't even qualify as a top 5 finalist? Maybe I can bet someone like that, someone who will actually follow through on a bet that he proposed in the first place.

Shanny lost that game for his team yesterday. First, he doesn't throw the red flag to dispute the Smith "catch", even when Smith himself got up and frantically wanted Hurts to run the next play. At the worst, the Niners would have lost a time out and a challenge, but as it turns out, he would have not only won the challenge, but his team would have taken over on possessions at their own 35 yard line. The score would have been 0-0, with possession of the ball. Then, right after the Eagles got their gift TD, he assigns a back up TE to solely block Reddick, who promptly blows past him and injures Purdy, essentially ending the game right there and then in the first quarter. Everything else after that was irrelevant, everybody knew the Eagles had already stamped their tickets to the SB. Shanahan seems to fold under the pressure of big games, and yesterday was no exception.

Especially for any coaches. Yes Smith knew there would be doubt. only other person on the planet was apparently you. He did the smart thing calling for a quick snap after....no one knew at that exact moment he didn't catch it. certainly not the ref, certainly not NY. certainly not the 49ers that early in the game knew they needed to challenge. no one announcing the game knew.

Why wouldn't you challenge it??? help me understand....how did he tell everyone he didn't catch it? by jumping up and running to the line of scrimmage pounding his fist together? lets rush this play? I suppose. but again , i saw that, you saw that. could they see that from the sidelines? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And stop being such a bitter a-hole. Let it go already. Here is Shanahan's explanation. He didn't see any replay which made it look like he didn't make the catch. He or others didn't notice Devonta Smith trying to get them to hurry up or if they did, didn't interpret it correctly. That's how I am reading it. https://www.nfl.com/news/niners-kyle-shanahan-explains-decision-not-to-challenge-devonta-smith-catch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During the SB he will predict every play before it happens, but the delay in getting his prediction posted will make it appear as if he is telling us just after the play if over.
