N/S CD Lamb Block (1 Viewer)

[Trey W.]

In the last few minutes of the Cowgirls/Failclowns game, CD Lamb made a (IMO) great block on Keanu Neal but they called it a penalty (blind side block). I completely understand the push for safety and all but that was a great & clean block. Lamb was in front and no head contact. I could understand if he was on the side or back of Neal. Horrible rule and call! Just for the record I truly hate both of these teams, just think the rule is garbage.

The rule is if your going back towards your own goal lien in motion. However I. Thought it was more lateral myself and didn’t think it was a penalty

What are you supposed to say? "Yo ! Look up I'm about to block you from tackling the ball carrier !"

How ‘bout dem Cowboys?

I hate this rule. If he doesn’t make the block, it’s a tackle. I get it on a return if it happens away from the ball, but are you really just supposed to quit playing and let your guy get tackled?

 

[St.Fury]

I don’t like this rule AT ALL! He was in front of the defender and didn’t hit him in the head. That should be a legal block.

It's the 'new & improved' NFL.
It can't be fixed.

So glad Jo Lonn Dunbar laid out Henderson on that Reggie Bush punt return TD against the Vikings before this rule was made maybe partly due to him. Watch from the start 5:02 - 5:40 or so for all the replays, dude got leveled.

I think the rule was made in part due to Bobby McCray blindsiding Warner in the 09 playoffs. I remember when they kept showing that clip during bountygate as proof of the Saints being a dirty team, I kept screaming "That was a legal play in 09-10!"

My favorite was Devery Henderson annihilating Jon Abraham on this one.

maybe they should amend the rule so a player a yard away can make contact. just can't take a running start.

That's a good one too! But I wish they would just limit the penalty for doing it against QB's. Let the rest play

Same call happened in the Sunday night game, only it was more ridiculous

^^This, mainly It's just another example of the league overcorrecting something, yet again. Creating a solution to a problem that didn't exist.

I saw both plays yesterday where that “penalty” was called, and both times I thought “this is exactly the type of call/no call that the Saints get jobbed on.”
It’s just a matter of time
