Re: Ed Reed suspended 1 game
The first one he hit with his shoulder. That was obvious. The second video he tried to hit with his shoulder, just like any other safety would do, but their helmets happened to hit. Those were no more dirty than Reed's hit (which was not dirty). The third video would not load. Hard hits seem to draw penalties. Just like his legal hit on Cruze. He leveled the guy and was called for a penalty. As I stated earlier, these are incidental helmet to helmet hits, not a show of blatant disregard for the rules. These players have nothing to gain by intentionally making helmet to helmet hits.

DB's and safeties have less and less options in this league. Can't touch, can't face guard, can't hit...

Re: Ed Reed suspended 1 game
If you watch the replay of Ed Reed you will ses his strike zone is the Mid section of the body. WR lowers his head into Ed Reed. The film does not Lie. Ryan Clark should be getting one as well. Jesus they had to put Kevlar in his helmet because his ALWAYS leads and dives with his head first.
Not bad for a RUNNING BACK!!! Now that is funny.

If Reed is a thug, I'm Jack the fucking Ripper. Reed getting suspended for this is Total Bullshit. That is all.

Re: Ed Reed suspended 1 game
It is bullshit, but can we stop saying it's some kind of anti-Raven, pro-Steeler conspiracy? Pittsburgh has been hit just as hard by Goodell's new NFL, if not in suspensions, then certainly in fines and penalties (some deserved, some not).
When Harrison was suspended, Suggs had his back. Today Clark is on twitter having Reed's back. We all know this sucks. The lockout last year greatly dampened my enthusiasm for the game, and shit like this just adds to it. I can easily forsee a day coming when I stop investing my time, energy, and money into this sport.

Re: Ed Reed suspended 1 game
Of course I would probably make an outlandish comment. They make for good jokes. Which that was supposed to be. They were modeling his oversized crash helmet last night and it was too easy.
What's funny is 5 years ago ESPN has a special segment for these hits. Now they're outlawed. I understand it's safety and all that but it sure takes out an element that was one of the allures of the game for me back in the day.Last edited by saintmatthew; 11-19-2012 at 09:31 PM.

Re: Ed Reed suspended 1 game
My guess is a compromise, he gets a fine. Not suspension or loss of gamecheck. If I were him I would appeal as he is doing. I wouldnt want to lose a gamecheck for that BS.

Re: Ed Reed suspended 1 game
sad part is that if the NFL was really concerned about safety of the players....
They would suspend Tomlin for leaving Leftwich in the game like they did last night.
