No fine for Harry Douglas


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

Titans (and former Falcons) receiver Harry Douglas was not fined, suspended or otherwise disciplined by the NFL for the dive he took at the knees of Broncos CB Chris Harris.

Not Panthers related, you say?

I beg to differ.

Cam Newton has taken some pretty egregious hits this season and they've gone largely unpunished. But the shot Douglas took at Harris was easily one of the worst things I've seen this season.

Karma for the Broncos? Maybe. But it brings up a question.

If the NFL won't even punish that, then what can we expect to happen the next time someone takes a shot at our quarterback, or any other player for that matter?

The league is out of control with what they're allowing goons to get away with. And frankly, I'm pretty disgusted by it.

What i don't get is how people are saying its a legal hit? I was watching a sports show where they were saying that he made the play all by the rule book. 

It was legal.  You can play dirty and legal.  Most players would never dream of taking that shot.  Most respect the game enough and profession enough to not go for a guys knees....knees are the biggest concern to most guys.  Cam probably would choose a headshot over a knee shot

Even if you don't like Talib this just allows an open season on players across the league...we don't want or need that...

Well what was illegal about it? It was dirty as hell but how can the league punish a low block?  He hit him from the front.  

Knees aren't off limits 

As we have seen the league can do what it wants...fine him and let the players Assoc deal with it...

The NFL is a league that has sanctioned Thursday night football, pushed for 18 games seasons, and shied away from CTE- what makes you think they care about player safety? The NFL is a business, and operate accordingly to that principle: $Money$. I am a Panthers fan- not a fan of the league. I loved when Al Davis stuck it to the league when he was alive. It's kind of ridiculous that we have the shield at midfield when the League could care less. This will continue so you might as well get used to it.

Still have to state what the fine is for...

I'm not defending the NFL.  There isn't a way to call it an illegal hit.  But no player wants to take that shot

    • PJ's completion % was 63% when starting games in Carolina.  Which I believe is better than Bryce when starting.  And again, 4-3 as the starter here and the LONE QB Carolina has been able to actually win with in the Tepper era.  If you ask a gambling gunslinger to come into blowouts.....they are going to go down in a blaze of glory.  Which he would do.  Yeah, he isn't good.  And gunslingers are supposed to have rockier stats than checkdown QBs.   So....why does PJ Walker have a better comp % as a starter than Bryce Young.  And for every knock you want to make about PJ, you can find something or a skillset that PJ does better than Bryce.   I didn't say PJ had good field vision.  He doesn't.  Tell me about Bryce after he comes off the first read lol.  Let me repeat, PJ Walker is not a good QB.  He is NFL depth and an in house arm.  Bryce Young doesn't belong in a convo w/ Jake and Cam.  He belongs closer in a convo with the backup caliber QBs Carolina was forced into playing.  Which isn't just PJ Walker.  But Kyle Allen.  Moore.  Guys like that.   
    • Oh I see what you meant by memory. I will trust my memory, I have looked a a lot of those ball charts for Bryce and they trend a general pattern. They thing that has changed that I have noticed more recently is the reduction in the bunching of behind or at  the LOS passes over to his right.  Aside from the quantity of throws recently since the running game has become a more dominant factor. 
    • Yes but you basically said you are going from a quick skim of those charts without doing the same for Bryce and/or Andy. So you are going memory vs. snapshots. That's not going to be a very comprehensive analysis.
