Watching a little of the HOF game -- there's really no way for a safety to make a hit on a receiver coming down the middle any more with the new rule.
This is a penalty now, lol.
Almost 10 days without a post. Looks like I'm not the only one having trouble getting excited about this season. Super Bowl champs vs. the #1 pick on Thursday in Game 3 has 5 turnovers, a FG, and a safety.
Foles slipped and fell on the safety. Hard to put that on the OL unless he tripped.
Foles was deemed down by contact at that point so he had a defender pretty close when he went down.
He could have thrown the ball away otherwise.
Exactly. But because the Eagle's O line was pretty porous, Browns defenders were in the Philly backfield and close enough to touch Foles when he slipped. Thus he couldn't di anything else.
