Legal Hit? YOU Be The Judge

[Saca312]

So, coming back to that supposed "shoulder" hit on Cam, I snagged a GIF of it, and slowed it down to 15% original speed.

I don't know about you, but I certainly don't see any supposed "shoulder" hitting Cam first.

I do see a helmet smashing into Cam and giving me repercussions to the season opener.'

What do you think? Did the Rams get away with this one? Is the league really protecting our QBs? 

Hey @NathanConley , not forcible... right?https://t.co/Jxs5sYiK5v

Looks like the defenders helmet makes contact with Cam's to me. Not legal.

I might be seeing something different than you. I could've sworn I saw his helmet hit his, jerk it back, and then his shoulder hit came afterwards. It may be the crappy quality and frame rate tbh, but what I'm seeing is something that looks like a clear hit to the helmet.

Elaborate on your thought process on that one?

Idk man from that angle it doesn't look like helmet to helmet. It look very close though.The Aaron one was clear as fuging day

There were 2 obvious no-calls, 1 so-so no call and another meh call.

I remember Cam sliding and one Ram literally launched at his head again. Guess they live up to their animal mascot to the T.

lol if you don't see helmet to helmet contact there you are blind as hell or blatantly ignoring it.

That is a clear hit to the head.. however, the league doesn't care. The ref's don't care.  We just have to keep pounding 1 game at a time.

Are you drunk? How is that legal?? Legal on cam or legal on Brady?

[truthjuice]

Looks like he lead with his head. Illegal hit.

I was at the game and it was a pretty obvious helmet to helmet

[KillerKat]

definite helmet to helmet. Don't know how much clearer it can be.

I watch all NFL games and think people overreact about some of the hits we have seen as far as thinking of some stupid crybaby conspiracy against (only) Cam because if you watch all the games it (hits, calls and missed calls) happens all day long to many QBs.

 

That said, this should have been a flag for two reasons; helmet to helmet and it wa deliberate. He was untouched and could have easily tackled cam with a mid body tackle.

[panthermonium]

The issue with this particular hit is the intent to go high. I do believe helmet to helmet contact occurred but even if you didn't, you can't dispute Barron's intentions to go up top.

It's also pretty clear he launches as well. It's just the type of hit other QBs would get a call on but unfortunately, Cam does not..
