It's easy, and only takes a few moments.The push argument applies when the ball is over the receivers head or the reciever has to "go up" to get the ball. Boutte caught the ball at his shoulders but was in the air like he was jumping. Lousy technique. Boutte should have had his feet down and hands out so he was not off the ground. It is physics. Watching it again without understanding what you are looking at is pointless.
He should have already been dragging both feet prior to the shove. His technique is badNot sure what you're watching, but the left foot was coming down and would have been IN BOUNDS without the shove by Jobe.

Exactly.Big assumption by you that they get that 4th and 12. It's amazing how people think that everything plays out the exact same when you change one thing. That's not how life works.
Once you change that one thing, everything after that changes.
Also, Gesicki is a big upgrade over Jonnu Smith. It's nice to have two quality TEs.We do have to be happy about Gonzo, White, Boutte, Douglas, Mafi, Sow (6 rookies played significant time, and made an impact).
That's exciting.
I also love the "Tua looks great" from someone who thinks Mac will never make it because of his weak arm.No way.
You're thinking that because Miami lit up a team that is defensively inferior to both the Pats and the Eagles.
HUH???? Not on the 2nd catch he wasn't. Rob posted the replay. Not even close. Sorry,. but you're incorrect. Boutte wasn't "in the air like he was jumping". He actually had the toes of his right foot down and was in the process of getting his left foot toes down when Jobe shoved him. Otherwise, his left foot toes are in bounds. It was a damn good play by Jobe.
The mental gymnastics that some posters are doing to say that Boutte f'ed up and to take away a good play by a defender is mind-boggling. Have someone push you in mid-stride and tell me your foot comes down exactly where you going to put it.
If they lose next week they'll be 0-2. Has any team ever come back from such a large deficit?We lost and a loss next week pretty much would decide the season.
So ya. No moral victories.
N'Keal Harry is still out there on MIN's practice squad, ready to be plucked. Just sayin'...I like Bourne but he's got to catch that 3rd and 12. That catch is what separates good players from elite players. We need to make those.
As for Boutte, that needs to become a regulation catch/toe-tap otherwise we move on.
Not to mention the call on the field was "catch" so the "not even trying" comment is nonsense.Not sure what you're watching, but the left foot was coming down and would have been IN BOUNDS without the shove by Jobe.
Sarcasm?If they lose next week they'll be 0-2. Has any team ever come back from such a large deficit?

Yeah a team you supposedly root for has started 0-2 and actually won the whole thing.If they lose next week they'll be 0-2. Has any team ever come back from such a large deficit?
Thank God **** Rehbein saw something that nobody else saw in the guy Kraft honored at halftime.for those keeping score, Bill the coach is now 25-27 post the guy Kraft honored at half time
Seems that this should have been taught and learned in the basics of NFL receiving course. Hopefully Troy Brown will hammer it home. I have to believe a veteran receiver like Parker or maybe even Thornton would have toe tapped.He should have already been dragging both feet prior to the shove. His technique is bad
Yes it's egregious. The Chiefs got away with it the whole game. It's on the coaches to point this out. Its an incredibly unfair advantage for OTNFL allowing T’s to line up 2 yards behind the line of scrimmage. The Eagles C was the only player at the line.
No ****. That was the point I was making that went above the point at the top of your head.Yeah a team you supposedly root for has started 0-2 and actually won the whole thing.
I do not believe that Smith or Brown run routes at the speed that Waddle or Hill do, even more so in the rain.So, Hill and Waddle are great route runners but Smith and Brown aren't?
How'd Gonzalez do in College against speedsters?
I think that Gonzalez will do better than you expect provided he focuses on doing his job.
