NFL's new "Marion Barber" rule takes Marion Barber by surprise

[craftsy21]

All I know is, i'd rather be punched wearing a helmet than not.

Does that clear this debate up at all? Probably not.. but it needed to be said I think.

So all we're gonna see is stiff arms to the chest now??

!%%%$ NFL Rules Committee

 

[gpthsiz4u08]

all the rule is saying is that they will not allow players to stiff arm to the "head." No where did it say that the move cannot be used, I for one dosort of agree with that, as a defender if the runnner grabs and twists your facemask, wich does happen alot btw, its dangerous and cheap. players are stillable to utilize the stiff arm w/o aiming for the facemask.

Yea tru , u broke ya finger n got scars hitttin a helmet and I've got a broken hand and displaced knuckle from punching faces...

Like I said , there's little to no difference between hittin the two

If a skull and face was so easy to be bangin on, boxers wouldnt need their hands wrapped and 8 - 10 oz gloves to protecttheir hands.

and they still break their hands in fights.

�no, hes not allowed to stiff arm to the face.

@ 4:01 of this video is an example of what Barber does with his free hand

Why even have the wire mask on the helmet anymore? Why don't they just have the players where durable plastic shields. Does the facemask even help toprotect the player at all when they could just have a plastic mask?

This rule is dumb. Getting your hand under the face mask and pushing it up is good strategy. If the tackler can't see you it's a huge advantage. Youtackle from the waist down anyway.

"what about the throat?"

marion is sick tho...i respect him

 

[nyrapisback]

Barber will still catch wreck. He'll do somethin else to make up for this bogus rule.

You gotta admit tho, it was funny watching him do it. The Patsies got it the worst.

@ them complaining
