2013 Burfict Hit with Crown of Helmet

[TRsome]

Sorry if it has been posted... but is this not the same hit as Shaziers?





First hit in the video. Really weird, because I thought it was never called ever.

Edit: My bad.. the crown of the helmet hit is later and he does launch himself. The first one was called defenseless receiver which is debatable I guess.

It's very similar, but you see hits like that called/not called all the time. Burfict is going to get called more often than not due to his serial dirty play. If you don't want that kind of scrutiny, then don't do stupid shit like trying to cripple Cam Newtown by twisting his leg on live TV.

Shazier put the crown of his helmet to Gios jaw..........this was meant to break his jaw and put him out for the rest of the playoffs..........payback for J Bell

Someone who is editing gifted could prove my point easily............show the Keith Rivers hit, the Kevin Huber hit and Gios hit together

All you have to do is look at helmet placement at point of impact...........this is taught and encouraged...........not a fluke gentlemen

Im glad we have Vontaze and Adam Jones on our team................they get it !

The same thought crossed my mind.......

WW.............we are talking broken jaws, wired shut, out of football for 8 weeks

[CincyKid]

2 broken jaws from 1 team...........same team delivering said hit.........its not a coincidence

[*Wyche'sWarrior*]

Yup....he stuck the crown right in Gio's chin strap.....almost mirroring to a tee , the other hits you refer to. I was seriously thinking the same thing earlier today.

Brandon mayweather got suspended a week for hitting Eddie Lacey like that in 2013.

[CJ2etc]

Burfict got flagged last Steelers game for hitting Miller in the chest with his helmet on a clean tackle. Flag for a hit in the chest with the helmet but none for launching up into the guys chin with the crown. Same lead ref. Baffling.

Well you see.... The Packers guy only took 1 1/2 steps and wasn't a runner yet

The rules are just F'd up, there is no other way to put it.

Why would a hit to the helmet be any different on a runner or a receiver if we care about player safety? Both should be a penalty.

The league has its shit all out of order, and THAT is the problem.

In the AFC North - Burfict & Jones are necessary BECAUSE of Steeler play.  And now that we have the ability to dish it back, Steelers aren't to happy about that - cry me a river!

The League can't even determine what "a catch" is yet. 
And obviously, they aren't consistent at all on what is a hit on a defenseless receiver. 
They've got some big problems to figure out before people either believe or catch on to their WWF play.

Look at 1:01 at the end of the video - where Marvin is trying to get Tez out of there and the ref looks like he's ready to pull out an Uzi and shut him up.   If he stops that kind of stuff - and the spitting, twisting and tickling - he will, like James Harrison, be venerated as one of the game's greats.

James Harrison was great even when he was pulling "those stunts". Fans were scared of him, and certainly some players were/are too.
