oldtimeqb Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 I still don’t understand how a defender can pull off an opponent’s helmet on a tackle - and still the player has to go off for a play. If it’s a player safety issue, I don’t see why the tackler is allowed to grab the helmet with no penalty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there's no rule against grabbing the helmet itself. It is only when the helmet comes off because of illegal action by an opponent that he doesn't have to come out for one play.

Thanks for the clarification. It’s the ‘illegal action’ only part that I disagree with - and I know they didn’t ask my opinion. Perhaps that’s a new defensive strategy? First tackler secure the tackle. Second tackler try to punch the ball loose. Third man headlock the helmet and get the WR/RB out for the next play. (Said tongue in cheek of course.)

CLKeller16 Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Showed up with about 6:00 left in the second quarter, listened to the beginning of the game on my drive down from Fort Wayne. Fantastic defensive showing from both teams so far! Lets see if this continues to be a field position game in the second half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knightsfan_01 Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Big shout out to the heart these kids are showing. Pretty sure the center from Andrean suffered a bicep/shoulder injury but that’s not gonna stop him… snapping left handed now and doin what he can with one arm! Awesome!

Dude strip/sacks the QB one play then punches in the TD on the very next play. Is it just me, though, but does Andrean just look bigger across the board?

CLKeller16 Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Hey @Bobref, I thought high school football stopped the clock while chains were moving? Noticed a couple times in the second and third quarters where the ref called for a running clock well before the chains were set. I might be mistaken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it ended up being 2nd to last play of the game he had to sit. Edited November 27, 2021 by Screagle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the ball was down inbounds, the R starts the game clock as soon as the box is set, he doesn't wait for the chains. I agree that this particular Referee gets the clock restarted very quickly following a first down. I gave him an upgrade in the postgame debrief for that. Always want to keep the game moving.

tango Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 #34 was a beast. Congrats to Andrean! Not the result we wanted for MD, but the Wildcats had a great run and should be solid next year too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
