To be fair tho that roughing the kicker call against Indy earlier in OT was total BS too.
that is a rule that needs to be changed. i can see if you use another player to get position, then a penalty should be called. but if you land on a player coming down, 9 times out of 10 the ball has passed you anyway. and who's to say the offensive line didn't knock somebody backwards, their pushing too ya know!Originally posted by JJ777
The kicker clearly landed and then took a small hop backward where he tripped over Rhodes. Rhodes did NOT run into the kicker. And the rule is clear that if you leap and land on a player its a penalty which technically Rice did.
it appeared to me, the kicker initiated the contact and tripped over the defensive player. i thought it was a bogus call.Originally posted by JJ777
