I loved seeing it. Glad Kap wasn't hurt. Fine was justified. IMO

- Obvious personal foul by Matthews
- Bad call personal foul on Staley for retaliating
- Refs mistakenly replayed the down as opposed to making it 4th down
That play had major bearing on the rest of the game, and there were several poor ref mistakes...
I'll tell you what: I'd bet my dinner that if Patrick Willis was in pursuit at full speed and launched himself, AFTER Russell Wilson had already taken a full stride out of bounds, and made contact with him a full yard out of bounds, and then wrapped his hand around his shoulder/neck area and drove him into the ground a full 3 yards out of bounds; you will feel differently.mistaowen":1czr2uyt said:[youtube]0pr8hIzNefk[/youtube]
He is running full speed laterally and tackled him as soon as he stepped out of bounds. It was a big hit but every defender goes for a big hit when the QB is in an area for one. Stop making mountains out of molehills.
What if Kaep juked up towards the endzone? He is clearly a good athlete so the thought of him planting one direction and cutting the other is very possible. The way the NFL is now most defenders slow up and he has a good shot at making a big play.
Also fantastic how he looked for the flag instantly.
I mean, I guess if you want to get technical and call it 8/10's of a step, be my guest...SharkHawk":2m6jcalz said:His leap didn't START when he was a full step out of bounds. Watch the replay again. This time take off your niner goggles.
I hate Clay. I think he's an overrated doofus. But to say that he launched after the guy was out of bounds is just a flat out lie. The slo-mo clearly showed him launch as Kap moves laterally, but he could have just as well cut up for a TD, or reached out to break the plane. A launch play like that is EXACTLY what Patrick Willis DID do to Matt Hasselbeck and broke his ribs and injured his spine quite badly. Why did he do it? Because Matt was attempting to reach into the endzone, but it wasn't on the sideline, it was near the hash. None of us said it was dirty. We said it was a brutal hit. It was. It wasn't necessary as Matt had his progress essentially stopped, but Willis speared right into his flank and really took away about a season and a half and set Matt onto the path that led him to being a backup and ushered in the Charlie Whitehurst era.
So I think you're a bit misguided here. My opinion. You get what you pay for.
LIke I said two posts ago: try running at any speed and jumping off of your trailing foot. Go ahead.SharkHawk":38jru185 said:You are one step too early on your freeze frame. Nice try though. The fact that one leg is already up and the second foot is about to go airborne means that he began the "launch" while Kap was still in bounds. A for effort on the frame marking though. SMH.
