NFL Discussion Thread - Hall of Fame Game: August 3rd

[lb510]

Detroit Lions moved quickly to address their secondary needs in free agency, and they did not even have to wait until the opening bell at 4:00 p.m. ET. Detroit signed former ******** cornerback DeAngelo Hall on Tuesday afternoon

Cook to the Rams, done deal. Along with LT Bushrod to the Bears. Great move by Chi

Man the Seahawks are in such a great position right now. They'll probably get damn near what they gave up for Percy when they trade Flynn.

Lets hope .

 

[100proof]

watching the Percy Garvin press conference, how can one man say ''um'' so many times

He was saying um like he was getting paid to

 

[checks grossman]

D-Hall to Detroit?

 

Now thats how you address a weakness.

 

[licensed to ball]

Can someone tell me why Hall keeps getting paid?

Why do teams want his services so badly?

Everytime I see a highlight reel of a ******** game Hall is being burnt for a long td.

Yea if you forget about the 16 million he got to do nothing.

 

[shox23]

Why are people overreacting the big numbers are just for show

 

[illmatic34]

Bushrod and the Bears have come to a long term deal.

Like the moves by my Bears but if the last two years have taught me anything...I'm gonna hold out on the celebrations

[h1]N.F.L. to Consider Rule on Runners Lowering Helmets[/h1]By JUDY BATTISTA
N.F.L. owners will consider a significant rule change at their annual meeting next week that would prohibit players – runners and defenders – from using the crown of their helmets to initiate contact and deliver a forcible blow.

The rule, which would affect plays outside of the small space called the tackle box – anything in space and downfield would be subject to it — was endorsed by an 8-0 vote of the competition committee during meetings last week, according to John Mara, the president of the Giants and a member of the committee. For the rule to pass during next week’s meeting in Arizona, 24 of the 32 owners must approve it, and Mara said the unanimous vote of the competition committee – which consists of owners, coaches and other team executives – left him optimistic that would happen.

The N.F.L. has discussed a rule to prohibit runners from lowering their heads into defenders since at least 2009. That season, Minnesota running back Adrian Peterson had lowered his shoulder and head to little more than a foot off the ground, delivering a brutal hit to the helmet of Detroit safety Louis Delmas. At the time, Peterson said he thought it was insane to tell running backs they could not lower their heads into defenders – a technique running backs often use to gain a few extra yards, by using their heads as battering rams.

But even to the naked eye, such a play looks dangerous and the N.F.L., buffeted by concussion lawsuits filed by more than 4,000 former players and their families, has gradually taken steps to eliminate plays it believes present the most risk. In one famous play in 1987, Raiders running back Bo Jackson lowered his head and shoulder into Seahawks linebacker Brian Bosworth, pushing him backward into the end zone. Under the proposed rule, that play might draw a penalty on Jackson.

Insane

Didn't know Welker turned down a 2yr/16 million dollar deal from the Pats. Not really sure what other teams would dump a lot of money to him.

 

[jjs07]

he sucks point blank period. if the refs allow him to hold and mug WR's then of course he looks good at times.

Must be the reason why he owned Dez Bryant last year.

You mean instead of the franchise tender last year? Or was this from today?

He's the main focal point in the pats offense 8mil/yr for 2Yrs Pats so DISRESPECTFUL

 

[checks grossman]

6 Years/67M w/ 14.5 guaranteed for Percy.

 Much cheaper than Mike Wallace

 

[champcruthik]

Percy's a better football player than Wallace. Wonder what numbers Vic is looking for.

Pats are shrewd, don't overpay for players on the downside of their careers.

 

[flyerthandelta]

Nice number
