That is a wildly unnecessary, bush league bullshit hit. You want to clean up the game? You suspend jack asses like this for the year. This is what causes CTE. He could have broken his neck.

CTE

nevermind, you already fixed it

[pbmax]

yes, but it's legal, isn't it?

I don't know what separates receiver from runner while tackling, but you can't go helmet to helmet unless you have a running coming at you basically.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Fox should have taken him out of the game.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Legal? Not hardly. Leading with the helmet.

you can lead with helmet against a runner. Once a receiver runs upfield under control, he is a runner.

[mraynrand]

Legal? Not hardly. Leading with the helmet. They weren't even going to call it until Adams was injured though. Hey, if they don't blow the call on McCray, Adams gets a TD and doesn't get knocked out.

good point. that was a BS holding call

[red]

shitty but legal against a runner.

nope

[woodbuck27]

That short assed Bear defender needs to be suspended for the rest of this Season for that assault on Adams.That hit was fricken unnecessary.

A damn fine isn't good enough there.

they ruled defenseless receiver. your point would be valid otherwise.

[MadScientist]

Oh man, I hope he's OK.

It's bad when the best you can hope for is a concussion. That shit can jeopardize careers and worse.

[pbmax]

what is the rule? you can tackle running backs anywhere until the whistle.

or maybe I don't know the rule.

I am not sure it comes under defenseless receiver. But he wasn't a runner in the middle of the field either.

Helmet to helmet is controlled by more than defenseless receiver now I *think*.

[George Cumby]

That hit was sickening. Fuck me I hope he's ok.

[Tony Oday]

Prayers for Adams as a human. That was Bush fucking league.

[Harlan Huckleby]

I don't know what separates receiver from runner while tackling, but you can't go helmet to helmet unless you have a running coming at you basically.

running backs use their helmet as weapon against defenders all the time. Those defensive guys are just standing there.

I could be wrong about the rules, maybe we will learn this week.

[Cheesehead Craig]

It is illegal

"A runner already in the grasp of tacklers and having his forward progress stopped"

[Brandon494]

Head to head shot with top of helmet driven through player who was going down.

Should sit for 3 games.

He damn sure better, 2 at least for that shit. Adams might be done for the year.
