Fantasy Island Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Nothing at all wrong with that, part of the uniform. Penalize the offense for unsportsmanlike and move on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenFish Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 If it's not addressed in the rule book, it should. Should be penalized like a horse collar tackle. Again, don't know if it is. But the rules should change so that it's a penalty. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can you give a player a blatant advantage for having overly long hair? Tuck your hair, long hair out the back of the helmet is fair game. 9 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every player on your team has long long hair, now try and tackle the guy from behind without grabbing it. You seem to be assuming that every grab by the hair would be a horse tackle if the dude had short hair, which it would be not. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he didn't have long hair, the defender wouldnt have been able to reach him. What part of the jersey would he have grabbed if his hair was not long? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rex-n-effect Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Here's a whole video of hair tackles through the years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuLBUx8KpcU Sometimes refs let it go, sometimes they call it as unsportsmanlike conduct. The announcers seem as confused as everybody else. Like everything else the rule seems to be that it's called if you're an NFL darling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arsis Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 I think that twenty years ago football used to have 2 te 2 rb 1 wr sets and that the Jets were stupid not to run more plays out of sets like that to help with the oline 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MysticalJet2 Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 How is pulling the hair from behind any different than a horse collar tackle. Same effect on the body. grabbing hair from any other angle I agree with the others, but from behind should be enforced just like horse collar.
