Why I believe Shazier wasn't flagged - Vlad - 01-16-2016 I avoided trying to explain to you numbskulls as to why I believe Shaziers hit was not flagged. Now that it is apparent Shazier will not be fined... When the expert in the video explains "lining up" your opponent, it seems to imply that the defenders intent is to "seek out and destroy" so to speak, as demonstrated by the Redskins DB in the video...when the defender has time to think and calculate the hit. Shaziers hit was not the type of helmet to helmet hit explained in the video because it was bang bang...reactionary, and instantaneous...not a seek out and destroy having "time to think and calculate" hit. Recall Hines Ward kind of did the same thing where he would seek out a defender to block then knock his head off. Could that be why Shaziers hit wasn't flagged?

No. You're dismissed. RE: Why I believe Shazier wasn't flagged - StoneTheCrow - 01-16-2016 ![]() RE: Why I believe Shazier wasn't flagged - BigPapaKain - 01-16-2016 Good for you. No one cares.

The NFL ignored leading with the crown of your helmet, you and any other NFL biased person can try and act as though it was legal. It was not, but if I am the Bengals, I would use the same hit over and over again and dare a flag or a fine. Just remember when it happens to your guy and he is paralyzed and drinks out of a straw the rest of his life we told you and your Steeler's brethren there is no place in the NFL for a hit using the crown of your helmet.it was illegal. RE: Why I believe Shazier wasn't flagged - michaelsean - 01-16-2016 The flag not being thrown is because they could have missed it. I can live with that. The NFL trying to whitewash it is a travesty. Shazier's head is up and then he lowers it right before contact so he hits with the crown.

The NFL trying to whitewash it is a travesty. Shazier's head is up and then he lowers it right before contact so he hits with the crown. I am a Steelers fan and I approve this thinking. When you slow it down you see Shazier looking straight at him, and then lower his head for the impact. It is dangerous to both Shazier and Gio to do that, it is stupid, and it should have been flagged and/or fined.

Thats a blast from the past RE: Why I believe Shazier wasn't flagged - Beaker - 01-16-2016 As for the whole "lining up" thing, those who have played know you have to visually locate and line up a player to hit him that square. I have done it in both football and hockey. And depending on your proximity, it only takes a split second to line someone up. So I'm not buying the whole line up thing. Not saying I'm continuing the whole legal/illegal debate, because that doesn't matter anymore. Just saying....he lined him up.

Shazier does see Bernard, he does square up his shoulder, then he does lower his head and lead with the top of his helmet. If the NFL is going to ignore this, then the rest of the players should start playing accordingly.

I agree they should all head hunt as the NFL had a shot to review this so any enforcement is a potential lawsuit and the defender can cue up the Shazier hit as proof the league condones it RE: Why I believe Shazier wasn't flagged - tigerseye - 01-16-2016 Vlad ,give up it was an illegal hit. It should of been called. And as far as saying it could of been missed by the refs, I'm not buying it. Let me ask you this question ,if Burfict had made that exact hit on the Steelers what is the percentage chance that a penalty flag would have been thrown? My guess- 100% chance Shazier is suspect with his play, so why wasn't it thrown? Maybe because it was a turnover?

Is Boner really steelman? Asking for the boards. RE: Why I believe Shazier wasn't flagged - Stonyhands - 01-17-2016 What I like especially is when he says the angle doesn't matter here. The defender located the ball carrier and made a straight line lowering his head and delivering a blow with the crown of his helmet. From PFT regarding why Shazier's hit was legal: Regarding the 2013 rule preventing hits with the crown of the helmet, Blandino explained in a weekly officiating video that the play lacked the key element of the player “lining up” the opponent. Blandino said that, because the players were moving at different angles, Shazier wasn’t able to “line up” Bernard. So in one video Blandino says angle doesn't matter and in this instance the angle prevented the "lining up." #goodbyecredibility RE: Why I believe Shazier wasn't flagged - TheLeonardLeap - 01-17-2016 How can it be bang bang reactionary if the pass catcher apparently had enough time to lose his defenseless status, and hasn't moved from the spot he caught the ball? All he did was turn around. Wasn't a moving target or anything. Can't say bang band AND had the ball too long to be a defenseless receiver. You don't get to have both on a target that hasn't moved.
