And, newslfash, going at or below the knees is a penalty now. You may not have heard, but they instituted this new rule about it a little while ago...
Ray Lewis might wish the rules were teh same as when he came into the league in '97 or whatever. I wish that too sometimes, but all the players can do is play by the rules. |
That's the BS part of the Suggs call. He didn't do anything outside the rules. He brushed close enough to Brady's legs for Brady to put on a show and the ref threw the flag. I don't believe any other qb in the league gets that call. The head slaps are a different story, the defender has to be smart enough to not hit the helmet, but there was nothing Suggs could have or should have done different.
