So, yes I slightly misremembered the play. Technically Carr is not running at the exact moment CJ catches him. Nice catch, genious.


Carr climbs the pocket when he sees/feels CJ beating the RT, so he's running. Or at least he sure isn't walking.

In fact, CJ has to chase him down, because Carr runs straight up the pocket, hesitates, then begins to head to his left, which about when CJ catches up to him. So technically Carr is not actually running at the moment when CJ makes contact with him, but he was less than half a second before CJ gets there.

Semantics aside, CJ is going just about full speed when he swats the ball out of Carr's hand and almost simultaneously collides into him. And unfortunately for CJ he's completely squared up with Carr, which doesn't leave him any physical way to do anything other than what he did, which was basically run Carr over. CJ does get his left hand out to brace himself, which should've negated the RTP flag. And quite honestly Cheffers, while being in the worst position to make that call, still should've seen CJ's arm/hand out to Carr's side trying to prevent his body from coming down on Carr.

So Cheffers still ****ed up.

But believe whatever dipstick theory you want.

So Monday and Tuesday, all we heard from the talking heads is that the NFL was going to meet about it right away.

Now yesterday, Schefter reported (still looking for the Tweet or other source) that a "league official" told him the NFL intends to double down and has ZERO intention of changing the roughing emphasis.

UFB

The league is going to deal with negative reporting about roughing the passer because at the end of the day nobody wants to watch Case Keenum play Chad Henne on Sunday afternoon. Ratings = money. The money keeps coming in when star QB's are playing and points are being scored. End. Of. Story.

Yep.

I was incredibly impressed with Jones on his post game interview at his locker

Jones is looking at defensive player of the year…

That’s damn impressive

I was too. He handled it better than I would have, especially given what happened against Indy.

It’s Thursday. And perry fewell defended this horse shit call on behalf of the nfl.

And somehow the masses have decided it’s the camera guys fault that he ran into Davante adams’ shove.

Please make it make sense. The nfl can and should make a move to have roughing the passer reviewed. They’re so chicken shit scared of their tua **** up that my guess is they’ll ask the refs to de-emphasize it this week only for them to emphasize it again after another qb ends ip with a concussion. Just make roughing ****ing reviewable for the love of god
