Here's what I do t get. Let's say a guy is running down field with the ball and a teammate throws a block just like Burfict did, would it be a big deal? I'm guessing it will be shown on all the highlights as a great block. Same force, same hit with the same injury risk and they would just say, gotta have your head on a swivel there kid.
I can't sit here and argue if it's legal or not cause the rules are so screwed up and misleading that one can argue either way and be right. That's the problem.
The only thing I do know is Burfict just needs to be smarter than that. Don't put yourself in a situation like that knowing your under a microscope as it is. Another thing is it's pre season, why even play like that. Your not fighting to make the roster. I hate the rules and the way the game keeps getting softer and softer but damnit man, it's just pre season use your head.
