Worley has gotten better every week, hopefully the Worley-Bradberry combo will work next week against LA.

Leonard seemed to spark the secondary, hopefully his swag carries into next week.

Interesting that the Worley sack they showed probably should have been flagged for a low hit on Palmer.

It wasn't an illegal hit, going by stills of the play.  Fully extended, point of impact being Worley's shoulder to Palmer's mid-thigh.

Rule states that it can still be a penalty even if the initial contact is above the knee

Quote

Rule 12, Section 2, Article 12 (roughing the passer) says that: "A rushing defender is prohibited from forcibly hitting in the knee area or below a passer who has one or both feet on the ground, even if the initial contact is above the knee. It is not a foul if the defender is blocked (or fouled) into the passer and has no opportunity to avoid him."

There is also an argument that he was blocked low into Palmer as well. I'm not 100% on the ruling on this particular play but it's definitely something that could be called. We sure as hell would want it called against Cam.

Good to hear that.

Way to be, Mountaineer!

Right, but Worley didn't forcibly hit the knee area, or below.  The force came from the initial contact to the mid-thigh, where he was fully extended.  The rest was him wrapping up and following through, which isn't considered illegal. 

See notes from that particular rule you posted:

Notes:
(1) A defender cannot initiate a roll or lunge and forcibly hit the passer in the knee area or below, even if he is being
contacted by another player.
(2) It is not a foul if the defender swipes, wraps, or grabs a passer in the knee area or below in an attempt to tackle him, provided he does not make forcible contact with the helmet, shoulder, chest, or forearm.

I was surprised on monday to hear people still bitching about Worley on WFNZ. To me, he has better closing speed than bradberry and he's gotten smarter every week.  2 months of real film study have done a lot of good for him, I hope bradberry has similar improvement.

People still can't get it through their heads, that a vast majority of rookies aren't ever NFL ready out of the gate.  They can't/won't accept the growing pains that come with it.  Not fair to any of them really, and Worley hasn't shown bad play, for the most part.

He's a rookie, rookies make mistakes and maybe are overwhelmed sometimes.  As long as he continues to improve than we'll be ok.   DB is probably one of the toughest positions from College to the Pro's. 

Trial by fire is really the only way to get better in this league.   Sure he'll have a couple more bad games and hopefully more good games like Sunday.
