theguesser Posted September 25, 2018 Report Share Posted September 25, 2018 http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000966169/article/hayes-tore-acl-while-avoiding-putting-weight-on-qb Hayes tore ACL while avoiding putting weight on QB By Kevin PatraAround the NFL WriterPublished: Sept. 24, 2018 at 12:04 p.m. Updated: Sept. 24, 2018 at 07:00 p.m. The Miami Dolphins' impressive defense suffered an injury blow in Sunday's win over the Oakland Raiders. Defensive end William Hayes suffered a torn ACL, coach Adam Gase said Monday, relaying that the pass rusher was injured while trying to avoid putting his body weight on the quarterback during a second-quarter sack. "It's going to be a tough one for us to swallow," the coach said, per Adam Beasley of the Miami Herald. Hayes played well for the upstart Miami defense through three weeks, compiling two sacks and four tackles for the 3-0 Dolphins. Gase's defense owns depth at the edge-rusher position but will miss Hayes in the rotation. 2017 first-round pick Charles Harris should see an uptick in snaps following Hayes' injury. With the NFL focusing on defenders not landing with their body weight on the quarterback this year, it's brutal that Hayes' season ends on a play in which he succeeded to do just that.

Sharp Square Posted September 25, 2018 Report Share Posted September 25, 2018 Protecting the QB has just gotten out of hand. I am all for added safety measures in an effort to avoid concussions etc but at the end of the day it's not flag football guys have to be able to get hit. Just gotten way outta hand with it.

MadTiger Posted September 25, 2018 Report Share Posted September 25, 2018 This has been ongoing for quite some time (we talked about it in another thread). The oligarch owners got tired of their highest-paid players (invariably QBs) being injured, so they demanded that the league office put rules and punishments in place to deter this. Well, it's making the game that they make money providing WORSE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bfo Posted September 25, 2018 Report Share Posted September 25, 2018 Even Roethlisberger said after the game that it’s gotten out of hand. Also basically said the 1st call on him was bogus by saying he thought the second one was “legit”. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Always Call Heads Posted September 25, 2018 Report Share Posted September 25, 2018 They should just put flags on the QBs. It would cause a lot less problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Hustle Posted September 25, 2018 Report Share Posted September 25, 2018 this isn't about protecting the QB it's about protecting the white man since most QB's are white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
