Gator Rewind: LSU

Seriously, talk about a non-issue. Why would you argue against warning a player about dropping the ball too close to the goal line? Are you just looking for an argument?

Is your face looking for an argument?

Watch the link I posted. It doesn't look to me like TC drops the ball near the goal line. So why warn somebody about a problem that didn't occur? You and I have different views on this event.

Freeze that video at exactly :13 and tell me he wasn't close to dropping it too soon. If anyone can figure out how to get a freeze frame picture I'd love to see it.

Whatever. This is dumb.

Thanks Queenie. Point made.

Thanks Queenie. Point made.

Saw it at the time and thought the same thing. A bit too close for comfort.

It didn't and doesn't bother me. He still has possession of the ball in still shot along with forward momentum. Different people have different opinions. If Coach Mac or another coach feel the need to remind players to place ball in end zone or hand off to ref...have at it. He's not asking you or me and he'd get different advice from us if he did.

Dude.

FWIW divits I was watching the game with my dad and we both said the same thing as you. On replay you can see that he dropped the football after taking a step or two into the end zone, but the point remains why even risk it? It's a bad habit that would be worth kicking now in my opinion, but what do I know?

 

[Lake Gator]

Quezi came close to doing the same in the '96 seccg vs alabumble.

I see the trend, 2nd.

Which of course has been my point all along and one that I can't for the life of me understand why anyone would argue against. Whatever. As I said the argument is dumb.

He doesn't need AC.

"On replay you can see that he dropped the football after taking a step or two into the end zone"

I don't see this as a risk. Color my view contrarian if you u care to. And divits, there have been a sh#toad of discussions on this board "dumber" than this. Thank you for your opinion and participation.

I think us worriers are aware that he can be relaxing his grip 2-3 steps before he drops it.
Carry it proudly deep into the endzone. In Queenie's photo, his grip is already too loose just
at the line.

Agreed... death grip the ball as if boppin' the bologna.

There is a thing I've been seeing some players do when breaking a long TD these days and its pretending they are breaking the tape at the finish line of a footrace when crossing the goal line. Maybe that should be the emphasis, give them something to do rather than something not to do.

Carry it proudly deep into the endzone.

There's an idea... start a new trend! Dropping the ball is old hat. Hold the ball in the air (after crossing the goal line) like you OWN IT!
