Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

Barnett did the same thing last year on MNF and I was wrong about him getting fined for it. However this entire board took his side. It was similar type hit

Like I said, if it was one of our guys opinions would differ. No doubt in my mind.

 

[BruinVol]

Not the same kind of play. Smith had his back to ball carrier and the defender was making a play to get to the ball.

Very different than trailing the play looking to cheap shot someone that had stopped on the play at the pile

Yes you are right many did. Not me though lol

Lol.

And there it is. Like clockwork.

 

[BruinVol]

Lol.

And there it is. Like clockwork.

If you can't see the difference you aren't nearly as smart as I thought

 

[ChismsHeadband]

Lol.

And there it is. Like clockwork.

Trey also had cotton balls in his ears that game and he didn't hear the whistle.

 

[WriterVol]

Fans are soft, just like our oline

It's not about being soft. Just seems dishonorable to me.

If you sucker punch a guy, is that tough?

I get that's it's a pretty old practice. I just don't understand how anyone thinks it's a "tough" move.

No he didn’t. He was looking at JG and saw he was being tackled and turned his head to Minkah. If he was actually trying to block someone he would have went for #49 who was actually going towards the pile. Minkah was simply jumping over his teammate so he didn’t stomp on him lol

 

[BruinVol]

Trey smith did have some cheap shots a year ago but that wasn't one of them

 

[volfanCLT]

I see you like your personal attacks like you like your football

 

[Smokey123]

Here’s it in slow motion. “Back was turned”

Lol. See what you want to but big difference between training the play

 

[Smokey123]

I never said there wasn’t a difference lol

 

[volfanCLT]

Yep. Same type of play.

Thing is, I’m 100% okay with both. Neither were an attempt to hurt someone. Both guys playing through the whistle and right up to the line. Love it. That attitude is part of why both were/are playing at a high level as freshmen.

 

[Smokey123]

It’s asking for an unnecessary flag.

That’s not a good argument at all. You said Smith should have retaliated to CeCe Jefferson, which 100% would have gotten a flag.

 

[Smokey123]

Yep. Same type of play.

I’d rather my Oline be mean or a “bully” and hated by opposing fans than be soft

The better discussion is do the better OL need to play with this kind of mean streak. Imo they do but there is a line crossed when they do it too much. I counted 3 of these type plays for Mays on Saturday and that's Over the top imo

 

[Smokey123]

There can be a difference and both still be “dirty”. The only real difference is Minkah is half his size and was moving(still outta the play) and Alexis was standing still. Both played to the whistle, both saw the ball carrier rapped up and both easily could have stopped

 

[volatil]

Going to be playing flag football soon anyway. This argument is a waste of time.


Don’t crackback me bro

Sorry but I have watched that video 10 times and I can't say that smith knows for sure the tackle was made. His eyes are away from the play from my view

[Smokey123]

Watch it in slow motion. You can clearly see his head turn and take 2 steps before hitting Minkah

Differing opinions. You're right. No need to make it another ten page argument.

 

[volfanCLT]

Smokey don’t go down this rabbit hole my friend. It’s like getting sucked into a black hole.

No one wins

 

[BruinVol]

Ok let's switch gears a few pages back it was mentioned locklear is done


Is that confirmed?
