They may throw the flag but the review booth has to know veter then to uphold it. It's not an ejection plan and simple it's a wrong call that just lost us one of our better defenders for the game

 

[HorseshoeFetish]

Yep, and if you strut around after the hit you're only adding to their itch to throw the flag.

Was thinking the same thing. If Roby walks away like he's been there before I don't know if that flag gets tossed.

Get this ugly Iowa cow off my screen.

All I can hope is that ejection lights a fire for the D and the defensive coaches. Limp football to start this game, and there's a lethargy out there that's wholly uncharacteristic of a Meyer team. They better wake the hell up.

 

[NFBuck]

Cracks me up how they have reviews on these penalties and still consistently get them wrong. Hey at least it fired up the defense. Might be better off....

Roby launched into the receiver's upper body. Dumb rule or not (it is), it was the appropriate call per the rule. These kids need to be smarter and not go for the knockout hits.

 

[Jake]

Calling it is one thing, confirming it is another. Flag should have stood, but Roby should not have been ejected.

I agree, but the better approach is don't put yourself in that situation in the first place. A form tackle avoids a call altogether.

He went for the blow up. They don't want blow ups, anymore.

 

[ysubuck]

The team as a whole looks awful. Fits and starts by the offense and just SOFT defense. Maybe this team is just a good Big 10 team and that's it.

 

[bukIpower]

Honestly its probably going to focus our team with roby getting ejected. Its our front 7 that needs to get going not roby or the secondary.

He launched himself it was a good call. The rule blows but it was within the rule.

 

[EDDIE GGGG27]

Gilmore your a fucking pussy. STFU

 

[Bestbuck36]

Man, he had a seam there.

Final thought about Roby is if he wraps his arms there instead of launching, no flag or ejection. The hit was good but these kids have piss poor technique to begin with.

 

[Gothmog8]

Glad I got that drink.

When is a fucking huge TE a defenseless player.. You're talk 5'10 200lbs. Vs 6'5 250+..

Fuck you Rod.. The RB ducked his head

Want to say he "launched"? Okay. But there is no rule as to where you have to hit a player.

Also don't tell me #86 was a defenseless player - unless you want to classify ALL receivers as defenseless at all times.

You can't hit upper body nowadays?

Yep...time to collect ACLs, MCLs and PCLs on your wall. fuck the rule, time to take out knees instead.
