How did I miss the Pats signing Gibson? They really like ex-Rams players

 

[Kave_Man]

Your QB coach is suiting up Kave.

Your QB coach.

Yeah cause right now we only have 2 QBs who will be throwing.

Josh McCown and Thad Lewis.

Whats the point in signing a third QB for one practice?

Let him talk, Kave. For every crack he makes at your expense, karma will revisit him in the form of another game started by Brian Hoyer.

If you state he's a runner on the read option, he's no longer a defenseless player. He becomes eligible to take hits just like any other ball carrier.

Can't have it both ways.

It's a split second decision on who keeps the ball, that's why it's called an option. Bradford makes his read (correctly) and takes the option of letting the RB take it. Given that Suggs is shielded from the ball, he has to also make a read who is in possession of the ball. He takes the QB, which is a perfectly valid option, and makes a tackle on who he thinks has the ball.

The possession of the ball isn't of importance in tackling in the read option. At that point they are both considered runners and either one of them can be tackled. That's the rule. Bradford was not out of the play either, so he's fair game.



It wasn't late, rewatch the gif.

Kas isn't this delusional.

It is a split-second play, and as I posted earlier, there are still protections of the QB is not in a running posture or has faded out of the play as the referees interpreted this call.

Bradford was not in a running posture.

 

[JABEE]

I'm not calling for suspensions on Suggs either

Starters playing into the 2nd

Backup LT rip erron

Garret Hartley? Rooneys love those Sooners

Of course he's in a running posture. It's a fucking read option, the entire idea is delay and obscure the point at which the QB decides to keep or hand off the ball.

You can call the hit dirty, and it basically was, but it's not late or illegal.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

if you are running the read option you're fair game to get hit at any point!

 

[squicken]

Steelers secondary seems suspect

 

[chuckddd]

Steelers secondary seems suspect

Shocking news!

 

[jbug617]

You're right.

Hope Jordy's alright.

 

[jakncoke]

we're going to give up so many pts

HEY!

Me and Mech are cool now. I wish him propserity through Mallett for this year and then the domination of Savage for every year after this.

 

[eznark]

Jesus the Steelers are soft as fuck

 

[Greg]

2ez

 

[squicken]

Back to back RZ untouched scoring runs

 

[harSon]

I didn't think our defense could be worse than last year, but it's fucking awful. Colbert has been drafting shit stain after shit stain on the defensive side of the ball.

 

[MRSA]

Fat Eddie is fat

and we extended him lol

 

[AbortedWalrusFetus]

The more I look at the play in replays the more I realize it wasn't even a read option, but just a shotgun handoff. That is probably why the refs called it.

Bradford never even moved his feet, never faked a run, did literally nothing but hand off the ball.

 

[Lan Dong Mik]

Please be okay Jordy

 

[Arc]

Reggie Wayne is taking a physical in New England right now...somewhere Spin is vomiting uncontrollably.

 

[DeaconKnowledge]

How many untouched runs was that? 3?

 

[rando14]

lmfao, what the hell is this, Steelers D

 

[Farooq]

I disagree, Bradford was reading Suggs.

 

[MechDX]

Not Trent Truck?

 

[Lan Dong Mik]

Sweet tackle by Randall there nice to see that

 

[JABEE]

He did extend the hand-off a little. I think the refs made the right call. It's a judgement call based on the interpretation of Blandino's rules explanation.

I still think it was dirty as fuck either way.

 

[AbortedWalrusFetus]

I disagree, Bradford was reading Suggs.

Looking at a defender rushing you is not the only necessary criteria for a read option. If it was it would be open season on all QBs.

 

[KaYotiX]

How bad was Jordy thing? Just got home

 

[harSon]

i fucking love ben

edit: fuck off

 

[chuckddd]

Clown call.

 

[jakncoke]

Damn

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

easy PI call, pretty blatant

 

[Lan Dong Mik]

How bad was Jordy thing? Just got home

He ran off on his own power but was limping bad. Jumped up to catch a pass and came down awkward and immediately went to the ground

 

[Eleuin]

Shields sucks

 

[squicken]

If a coach looking badass on the sidelines helps fix defensive woes then Pittsburgh is going to be all right
