The unintentional hit on Trent Green


Bengalino

Recommended Posts

I'm having a very frustrating arguement with some KC guys. They claim it was a completely intentional hit, and that he ducked his shoulder as he went down. What really pisses me off is when they say "Palmer is fair game now." Anyone have a video clip of Green getting hit so I can shut them up?

Even the Bengal-hater Randy Cross said it was an unintentional hit and shouldn't have been penalized (which it was not).[/quote]
Not only that, but Geathers started moving down a split second before Green did. Not only was he blocked into him, but it was raining hard and there was no way to put on the brakes.

Oh the hit was unquestionably intentional (do not confuse "intentional" with "intent to injure," big difference.) The hit was also unquestionably legal.

If Green wants QB slide protection, he needs to slide earlier. There is a reason no penalty was called on the play.

Generaly, when referring to a player that was injured, judging whether or not the act was intentional refers to the injury, not the act of downing another player. The HIT was his shoulder slamming Greens face, which was unquestionably NOT intentional.

could u also post the horrible non-downing of punts...that looked really sad when twice we let the ball go in for Touchbacks and we had a guy on the 5 yardline watching

I think Geathers hit him. The force that Green was hit with was to large to be from someone being pushed into him. I don't care either way. Dude shouldnt be running around that much.

He intended to hit him. Green slid too late. You could tell when Green went down that Geathers tried to minimize the impact. He turned to the side so he kind of fell into him instead of just plowing him. That's
how I saw it anyways.

I understand those guys' point. What I saw was Geathers starting his tackle before Green slid, getting blocked into Green, AND dipping his shoulder into Green as he hit him. Oh, well, next time slide earlier. Dipping the shoulder is also a way to make sure that the tackler doesn't hit himself. Fuck those Kansas City punks.

This is fucking football!
If Trent wants to take off running, FINE, but let's not forget that when QB's do that, they are FAIR GAME.
Just because Trent was getting ready to slide, Geathers had already committed to the hit, and was pushed into him means SHIT!
THIS IS FOOTBALL!
NOT Bingo.
Sorry Arrowhead fans....you were booing for the wrong reason, when you should have been cheering for Huard.
It was a legal hit, and a damn good one. Maybe your QB will remember that the next time he tries to run out of the pocket.
