Oh. Well, there's my answer then. Madden rules all. :D

What if its a play action pass, if you tackle the QB before he fakes the handoff it it a sack? :hmmm:

why are you asking Chief fans?

Touche. :)

This is a sack.

You will not find a "sack" in the rule book, I would not think. It has nothing to do with the rules. It is a statistic.

good thing you felt it up first

That happened today on the first game, and Phil pointed out that it was not a sack because, I believe it was McNabb, was in in a deliberate rushing play.

I had never heard that one before, but I trust Phil since he played that position all those years.

A sack is also counted if you manage to strip the ball from the QB on a pass attempt, even if you don't physically tackle him. Hali did that twice to Phil Rivers in the second Chiefs/Chargers game in '08.

Your friend pays too much attention to stats on Madden

All I know is that you CANNOT intercept a sack.

And I should have read the thread first

lol hes been playing to much madden dude. Ok, if the QB is tackled, or stripped of the ball behind the LOS it is a Sack. Ok so your friend says if its a running play then its not a sack if the qb is tackled. So tell him, how can they prove that the so called "running play" wasnt actually a play-action that just didnt work out? ...he wont have a smart answer if he has one at all to come back from that.

so how can they determine that it was a drawn up QB run and not just a blown play that the qb tries to scramble on? I dont see it being possible unless that ask the coach what play he was running, which just isnt gonna happen.

What are these "sacks" you speak of?

If, by "sack" you mean there is a possibility to tackle the QB behind the LOS for a loss in yardage, then, someone should definitely tell the Chiefs D coaches about this!

It wold be a really great thing for our team to try in a game!
