Quote:Heero, what I am seeing in your second video is not at all how the article described it. The 49ers helmet obviously hit Drew Brees hard because it caused his head to move forward. Also, one arm is on his neck. Therefore, by rule it was the right call.

 

I disagree.

 

The initial collision point was with the arm and the upper portion of the chest. Brees just got lit up and fell into his arm. If that hit is illegal, then you're saying that even legal hits become illegal if the actions of the offensive player contribute negatively to the same offensive player. Brees begins to move into the hit, making it worse. That hit is 100% legal. 

 

The Gronkowski call is incorrect, however, but I don't care. If they get a call like that in every game from now on, I'll consider it pay back for the Tuck Rule.
