Cowboys player was blocking, ball hit him on the rear end.  Redskins recover.

 

Officials get together and rule that the cowboys player was blocked into the ball.

 

I watch this and think that this is exactly how all of the panthers' turnovers on punts have been.

 

Is this an actual rule?  That a blocker can be "blocked" into the ball and it's not a muff?  Because we've never gotten that call in franchise history.

I can see the Dallas 12th Man, I mean NFL officials have received their orders to get Dallas all the help they can.

 

being blocked is how nearly all punt touches occur. I've seen that call happen before but when the receiving team is pushed from behind and the ball hits him. The Dallas player was engaged in a block and the ball hit him in the ass. Should have been Redskins balls.

I saw a tweet about this earlier, but I did not watch that game...

 

Here's the gif...

I see why they ruled that... looks to me like the skins player sees the ball and intentionally pushes him into it...

 

I think I've heard of this rule before, but never really seen it enforced...  can't recall.

here's something else I didn't notice.  See how the redskin defender is out of bounds, not engaged with a blocker, moving laterally with respect to the sideline?  not making an immediate effort to get back in?

 

Is that better or worse than what armond smith did that drew two flags in one game?

that incident reminded me of a similar one when we played the redskins in 2009.  one of our gunners blocked one of their players into their punt returner.  the returner flopped, his foot made contact with the ball, and our ST players dove on it.  after a referee conference and review, they turned the ball over to the panthers with no flag for fair catch interference.  how is this different?

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
