With running QB's, I hate the call on the sideline where you don't know if he's going out of bounds or not. He gave him a little push...it wasn't like he slugged him OOB...
should know that, but by definition it was not a late hit. It can't be a late hit if he's still in bounds when you hit him. Don't know how that's debatable.
but if the Buc hugs him and holds him up, I would think no penalty, but the shove to the ground where he can clearly "act it up" a bit will always get a penalty there.
but refs will call that to protect QBs. Lavonte David made a more stupid play by even thinking about hitting him there, knowing that he's going to go out of bounds at the Tampa 45 with almost no time left
even if he was the worlds greatest contortionist? They had no time outs. Where was he going to run to ? The only realistic shot the Jets had was given to them. If one of our guys did that, he would be held in the same regard as Ray Handley
Since there's no way that foot was landing anywhere but out of bounds
Why would he have tried to stay in bounds

This is not relevant. It is not the job of the officials to judge strategy.
you guys are insane. there is no way in a split second to pull up. his foot has not yet touched at out bounds. it was a ridiculous call exacerbated by the time of the game.
if I was a Jet fan, I would want that call. The standard is not what a fan wants, but if you are going to make a call like that, you better be right. And, Smith was not out of bounds when he began contact, his foot was still in the air. He jut finished the shove. Ridiculous call.
and just because the call is made at other times, doesn't mean it is the right call. When you make a call that will take a team from definitely losing a game (absent a hail mary) to having a good chance to win it, you better be sure you have lived up to the letter of the rule. They did not, as i understand it, because he was not out of bounds yet when the contact ensued. And, of course, a shove cannot be called unnecessary roughness.
The burden is on the player not to give a ref a reason to throw a
My day is made!
I'm actually happy they won. Their D and DL, in particular, is fun to watch. Offense blows but I'm envious of their Defense.
We've seen guys act like they're going out of bounds and not.
I don't have a problem with the call because they ALWAYS call it. So the players should know this.
But again, by definition, you have to actually be out of bounds for it to be a late hit. No part of his body touched out of bounds yet when he was hit
it was stupid. and if he doesn't shove Smith they can't kick. would have been from 63
In any case. rational Giants fans are pleased with the result.

You can bash Rex for a lot of shit, but his teams can play D
Especially early-season when the Refs are over-emphasising the rules like they usually do.
If you know the league is out to protect quarterbacks, don't hit one heading out of bounds.
Thanks for proving there is a dumber coaching philosophy than Ryan's ... or even the opposite style - Fassel's ...
