Two days later and they are still making excuses for the Steelers penalties. Florio says "bang bang" plays are an exception to the crown of the helmet rule and that a player has to "line up" another to be penalized for crown of the helmet hits. Funny how neither of those things are actually in the rule. Florio never even cites the rule. The people in the damn comments did more research on the subject than he does.
The media is so honest... damn! I have never seen a more honest bunch in my life.
That was the most BS explanation I've ever seen. Of course, I've come to expect PFT to be slanted towards the Steelers. Florio has always lived in Steelers country and he practiced law in Pittsburgh. He almost always quotes the rule book in articles like this.
Btw, I was the commenter who mentioned the Shawn Williams hit on Wheaton (that was flagged) vs the Shazier hit on Gio (that wasn't). Wheaton took 3 steps before the hit. Of course, they probably deleted the comment.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
