Boards Archive] |
Welcome to the Vault Network
forum archive.
This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the
opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards
deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least
20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per
page).
Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50
topics per page, while others deemed of historical
signifigance may be archived in their entirety.
We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but
we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in
lieu of that.
Please enjoy the archive.

Interesting read on quarterback slides...

I found this on Yahoo and thought it was interesting.

They writer in this story has a good point. In this specific case it did not matter, no one was close enough to make a play. However, lets pretend for a second the defender was, if a quarterback was to play it exactally the same way Manning did, the defender could not prevent him from gaining ground and a first down would still be earned even with the defender being in position to stop it. This rule should certainly be changed, the moment he gain protection from being tackled, he should be ruled down.
