any yanking from behind that snaps the neck back, be it under the pads or jerking back with the jersey, is a penalty...that was a penalty on Dockett under the current rule....just like it does not have to be a head shot at the WR to draw a defenseless player getting hit penalty, if a WR receives a hard (violent) hit and deemed to be defenseless, it is a flag. Not saying I agree with any of this crap in the new flag football league, but those are the rules and most of the announcers still have not kept up with the constant tweeking of these rules as when Lynch calls games

Wilson comes in, leads with his shoulders and his helmet scraps the side of the QB's helmet. Wilson did nothing wrong in my book

I understand what you are saying JG, but it seems like the commissioner is not happy with that. The league seems to be saying that they don't want the tackler's head up at the level where the ball carrier's head is. The want the tackler's head to be below the level of the ball carrier's head so that no incidental contact can be made, (head to head). That's tough to do, (if not actually nearly impossible), but it is what it is, and the sooner defensive players learn to do that, the better things will be, (both penalty wise, and injury wise).

Yeah DD's horsecollar was the right call. I knew immediately it was going to get thrown.

Fitzgerald was asked if he thought Peterson would make the Pro Bowl as a cornerback one day:
"I think he's right there. He's tremendously talented. I don't he even knows how talented he is. Talking to (Bengals receiver) A.J. Green after the game a little bit, and he's telling me Patrick was by far the best cornerback he's gone against. I feel the same way. When I compete against him, there are not many guys around the league that I play on Sundays who can match up with his physical tools. And then you talk about his ball skills, the way he's able to go attack the football at its highest point, tackle. I mean, the only thing he needs is experience, and I think playing every single game this year gave him that. His confidence you see is just continuing to rise week in and week out."

(Regarding your bolded quote by AJ Green) I think that speaks volumes about Peterson's play, because AJ is one of the best WR's in football this year, plus Peterson basically ate up Cowboys WR Dez Bryant. One is super-athletic, the other is big and physical (while also athletic) and Peterson made both players respect him. Although, it should be noted that AJ and PP have a history together. I still think it speaks volumes. Both vets I truly respect (Fitz and Adub) said he has a good work ethic and solid mind (as far as how he plays the game mentally, and not just plays, but practices and competes). He still reminds me of Rod Woodson, but I hope he becomes the first Patrick Peterson, HOF uber-badass, instead.

I wouldn't mind him being the 2nd Woodson, either. although, I see Charles Woodson a lot more than Rod.
