    Skeeter, I don't know why you think a picture that takes place 50% of the way through the tackle can possibly indicate anything.

    Your picture does not show the point where Kindle impacted Potts - in fact it's not even close. His head is on the right side of Potts' helmet, whereas the initial hit was onto Potts' LEFT shoulder.

    Either that was a purposefully misleading picture, or else you didn't carefully watch any replay clips of the play before posting a still image.

    Maybe you would like for football to play this instead?

    utperks, i don't know if your question has been answered. if so, i didn't spot it.

    i'm no whiz for sure, but if you go here and download the ask & record toolbar,
    you can save the video using the Save Video tab to an automatic Ask & Record
    Toobar folder in your documents folder.

    to do so, click on the tab and then run the video. also on the ask & record toolbar
    is a Convert tab which will allow you to select the downloaded video to convert
    into whatever format you want. it writes the converted video to a folder named
    Converted in the aforementioned Ask & Record Toolbar folder.

    hope that works for you.

    From my perspective, when you look at the hit from what would have been the viewpoint closest to the Ref's (i.e, the official closest to the play and the one responsible for making that call), it certainly appears that Sergio's left shoulder hit Taylor's right shoulder either just before or simultaneously with Sergio's face mask making contact with the ball. If the shoulder-to-shoulder contact came first (which is probably what the Ref saw given the angle), then there was no basis for a flag--if it was simultaneous, then a no-call would be understandable. Regardless, we can run the clip in slow or stop motion all day and come up with different angles to support a different argument. The fact is that the Ref was watching it in real time and from an angle that made it virtually impossible for him to call a penalty if it had been one (which it wasn't). Time to move on. (Note: If you notice, probably because of the angle, the Ref didn't even see the ball come out since he was signalling 3rd down at the end of the play).

    regarding the hit, si's andy staples has a really good commentary. the gist of it
    is that it was a football play.

    if i'm taylor potts, i'm saying, 'shut up, coach.' potts earned a lot of respect for
    how he handled that, but all anybody is going to remember is leach squealing.

    no doubt leach has been telling potts that you don't have much time at this level. you
    have to make decisions and move. sergio simply explained it in a way that taylor won't forget.

    hey, perks, if you're still here, i didn't think to mention that applian has a free flv player you can download so you don't have to convert saved flv's to watch or listen to them.

    This is a stupid thread.

    That a completely legal hit. Anyone who says differently is a moron. The main job of the Referee is to protect the quarterback and he watched the whole thing. He didn't rule it a penalty, but apparently a bunch of non paid officials who get still pictures are a source of information. Was it helmet to helmet? No, it wasn't. Was it illegal? No. Was it awesome? Yes.

    Its funny how its days after one play and we argue about the legality of it. Anyone who was watched football longer than a minute can take one look at it and say, "Awesome legal hit".

    Kindle just added to the highlight reel. If you think its illegal than you probably should stay at home and watch cartoon network.
