*RANT* I am so tired of people calling Miller soft and much worse from people who miss work with a toothache. And if they suffer whiplash from a car accident they runaround in a cervical collar for months. Would they feel Better if Miller puts on a cervical collar and miss the rest of the year. I don't hear a peep from people who actually have played the game challenging Miller, RANT over..

Former players on the buckeye round table show were giving him shit.


As far as whether it should be a penalty, who really cares? A fifteen yard penalty isn't going to stop those. If your only chance to stop a td is to horsecollar a guy, you are likely to do it anyway. As if its a conscious decision anyway at game speed.

This has been my thought as ESPN has replayed the injury over. and over. and over. and over. and over. and over. and.... I think you get the point. :biggrin:

that rule pretty much sounded the end of Roy Williams' career, since that was the only way he tackled...

I agree it wasn't a horsecollar tackle, but I think personal foul (being a subjective call inherently) would have been appropriate.

So, what do you call it? Note that on every personal foul call, the referee mentions what type of personal foul--out of a list of specified personal fouls in the rule book--that occurred. Such as, "Personal foul, roughing the passer", or "Personal foul, late hit", or "Personal foul, helmet-to-helmet". If it's not listed as a type of personal foul in the rule book, then you can't call some made-up-on-the-spot personal foul. The ref can't state, "Personal foul, not in the rule book but it was pretty fucking rough."

Well I do remember a personal foul many years ago for "giving him the business".

Unnecessary Roughness may fit that exact description, actually.

That play was a wardrobe malfunction. Nike should never have allowed someone to get dragged down by the shirt. Tighter, more slippery, tear away, something.

If Braxton wore thicker socks he'd be too tall for DBs to reach him up there.

This is a great point, his running will net him a nice piece of hardware sometime soon AS A QUARTERBACK. He will also be in the 1000 yard club this weekend if all things go right. Also very impressive. Oh yes, he can run the offense, absorb some hits, and get back up and pass a long ball to Devin Smith hitting him in stride.

And someday soon, he'll figure some things out and really get going. Yeah those whiners are right. Brax is a slacker alright. :biggrin:


:oh:

Unnecessary roughness is a possibility, for sure.

I'm not overly exercised over the lack of a call, but it could (IMO) have gone either way.
