Tennessee Titans Daily Links: NFL Fines Are Still Stupid Edition

Chris Johnson missed practice yesterday with sore ribs. It sounds like a situation where it was really a day off for Johnson to heal up and get himself right, more so than some big injury. Wyatt and Glennon also noted that the Titans RB coach Jim Skipper and CJ had a sit down in the past few days:
"They just wanted to really know how I was feeling and things like that, and I let them know I was good," Johnson said. "They just wanted to make sure I wasn't getting down on myself.
"I am not frustrated. I have been in the league long enough I know things sometimes take time. We have 14 games left and we'll get rolling."
Last year's game against the Broncos was a debacle on the field, and in the headlines the next day. Several Broncos players, and even their jag-off of a head coach Josh McDaniels, called the Titans cheap and took shots at several players. Our guys have not forgiven or forgotten:
"I did say he was a whiner. I stand by those comments," Ball said. "I have total respect for him in terms of where he is as a quarterback, but you don't need to say stuff to the officials to try and get calls out there. He was trying to get calls from the officials all game."
Derrick Morgan got fined for making a completely legitimate play. It was a dumb penalty at the time, and it's a dumb fine from the NFL head office. What's more insulting is that Morgan got fined for not being able to stop himself in mid-air, but Ed Reed won't get fined a cent for almost breaking Kenny Britt's neck on that brutal face mask tackle.
Damian Williams and Chris Hope returned to practice on a limited basis yesterday.
Kenny Britt is good at football.
Chris Johnson made the Week 2 Bad Day team over at PFF. Also on the list: Jason Babin.
PFF also lauds Cortland Finnegan. I mentioned on MCM Radio that I'm starting to think that moving Finnegan around on the field might be helping him focus on his job, rather than playing the head games that often got him in trouble. Ben Stockwell puts it better than I did:
Where Finnegan usually looks to play the man, he turned his attention to the ball this weekend and it paid dividends.
Matt Hasselbeck continues to make the media rounds.
Marc Mariani is among several NFL return specialist trying to figure out how to make an impact within the confines of the new kick-off rules.
The Titans will honor Renata Soto, who was awarded the NFL Hispanic Heritage Leadership Award, at Sunday's game.

Dumb penalty?
You thought it was suddenly OK to dive on top of a quarterback while he was laying on the ground?
Morgan has to play smarter than that.
Official MCM Hater!
"I don't care if they put 11 or 12 guys in the box, we're gonna run the football"--#9
Flacco was scrambling for the ball and no whistle was blown
If he would have sprung up and tossed a TD because our Defenders thought the play was dead we’d be damning everyone for not re-tackling him and everyone would be in ‘awe’ of how much of a heads-up play it was by Flacco. Screw that, hit that bitch into the ground.

It wasn't late, he dove before there was a whistle.
he just dropped an elbow which drew the penalty.
Did you watch the play?
Flacco was strip-sacked. Flacco dove for the ball. Morgan dove for the ball. They collided. How is that a late hit?

I agree 100%
it was still a live play, and Flacco was not ruled downed by contact….so hit the SOB. In my opinion Morgan did nothing different than hitting a qb who dives foward instead of slides, which is perfectly legal.
by bullrider73 on Sep 22, 2011 12:00 PM CDT up reply actions
I don't think Morgan really hit him
He kinda laid on top of him
I don't think the whistle had blown at that point.
Or else he was already in the air going for the ball/QB.

Morgan was in the air when Ball touched Flacco
Granted, it is a QB but it’s hard to fault Morgan for this penalty / fine…but I hate “roughing the passer” penalties when the QB gets up just fine from being hit and starts waving his hands in the air. You can’t call “roughing the passer” if the passer was never “roughed” in the first place. (not necessarily applies to this case but you get my point)

That's a great point...
he sells way to many jerseys, so he shouldn’t be allowed to be hit. They’re planning on putting flags on him.
Tyler Bray got "sacked" on a false start
the refs didn’t blow the whistle so they couldnt penalize the gators (at least on that play)

True
I am not going to argue the call on the field so much, but the NFL should have seen the replay and realized that it is nearly impossible for Morgan to have stopped from hitting Flacco…the penalty is ok (although I didn’t like it) but the fine is ridiculous.

This is not college!
How does he get a penalty (and subsequent fine) when he is tackling a player who hasn’t been touched yet? Even your screen shots show him in the air as another plays goes to land on Flacco.

So Morgan should look at who's on the ground
before he decides if he should make a tackle or touch him with his pinky finger so he doesn’t hurt the precious QB. I’d rather have him react qucikly and tackle…
I understand your point but even a Baltimore O-lineman said that was a tough call.
USC > UT (Both of them)
I am not mad at Morgan
I am just confused by the reaction. Everybody acting like it’s a surprise that the NFL is treating quarterbacks like they are wearing dresses.
It’s been this way for years, and the defensive players should know.
And everybody else on our defense stopped.

I wish I could post the picture I have on my TV right now
Dave ball touched Flacco/Falco while Morgan was in mid air. Morgan made the right decision.
To settle this...
Regardless of whether it was truly a late hit, we all know that quarterbacks have been hit much later before without a call, and been hit much more unnecessarily hard before without a call (VY getting body-slammed on his head by the Steelers comes to mind)
There have also been much weaker calls. (last year, Manning gets slapped on the helmet and it’s a 15 yard roughing the passer call)
If this were Hasselbeck on the ground going for a fumble and a Ravens player did this, it would still be a weak call but we wouldn’t think so because it was our QB. I bet if you went and asked someone on Baltimore Beatdown about that play they’d all have the opinion that it was the correct call.
Regardless, it doesn’t matter. We won the game handily. No need to argue about this anymore.

I posted this in the fanshots about the Broncos game but:
“You always hear about how tough they are and all that stuff,” Orton said after the game. “I don’t think they’re tough, I think they’re cheap. And it was one of the cheapest games I’ve ever seen out of some of those players. … If that’s the type of player Cortland Finnegan wants to be, well then he’s a cheap player, not a good player.”
- Funny he says not a good player because which one of the two is going to be bench for Tim Tebow by the end of the year?

And this is what C.Finn had to say about Orton:
"I respect him. He is a really good quarterback," Finnegan said. "There’s no bad blood, man. He has to take up for his guys. It’s no big deal, man. I know before the game I’ll shake his hand."
Asked what might be considered "cheap," Finnegan smiled.
"A Prius? A Nissan Leaf, maybe?" he said.

Flacco drops back. Morgan and Ball rush the edge. Ball tips the ball out of Flacco’s hand. Morgan is out of the play at this point…past Flacco. Ball is on the ground and Flacco immediately dives on it. Morgan sees this and dives on Flacco, there’s probably 1.5 seconds that elapse between the time Flacco jumps on the ball and Morgan dives after him. Morgan’s dive doesn’t look malicious, though. he’s not delivering a big blow, but it does come late, and he doesn’t appear to be going after the ball.

Wow, I have a completely different take...
there was no way it was 1.5 seconds after he was touched by Ball. I watched it frame for frame.
Frame by frame is above. Look at it. Also notice not only our game clock, but the JAX gameclock in the ticker at the bottom of the screen.
:01 elapses in ours. :02 in the “ticker game”. ~1.5 seconds elapse.
Re-read, 1.5 after flacco was on the ground...
but he still wasn’t down. So, should Dave Ball be fined for touching Flacco making sure he was down? Both Morgan and Ball hot Flacco with in a split second of each other. I still call BS on this penalty!

Absolutely not. Same reason Reed won't be fined for his action on Britt.
But the defenders know that there is a quarterback standard

I think it is too, for the record
But this is what happens when you let the owners make the rules.

What is dirty about leading with a shoulder?
Aren’t you supposed to lead with a shoulder? Spearing is with the helmet…not the shoulder. He was trying to ensure the QB is down AS FAST AS POSSIBLE. Running over and gently caressing Flacco’s hand would have taken 3-4 seconds rather than 1.5. Alot can change in 1.5-2.5 seconds on a football field. Was Flacco going to get up and run? No…but can Morgan, the refs or the NFL really assume that?

Who said it was dirty?

Run over and push him with two hands.
And, it wouldn’t have taken an extra two seconds.
I don’t think the hit was dirty, but he did add an unnecessary (though not excessive) amount of force to the blow.
Chris Johnson can run 20 yards in 2 seconds. Do you still think 2 second is no big deal?
Obviously Flacco wasn’t going to do that, but I don’t see how the NFL can assume that he was down. (again not the refs with the penalty, the fine is the issue). Anyone see Brady complete a pass after he fell a couple years ago?

No, the touching is what they are supposed to do

if it happens like that, then Flacco is not down until someone touches him.
No whistles had blown. Morgan did not spear him. He simply made him down. Who cares about the fumble.
With that being said, I actually think another Titan touched Flacco down before Morgan.

That's what I thought too
I can’t remember who, but I feel like I remember someone else touched him first which made me think he needed to make a smarter play there. That being said, if he was in mid air, not really much he can do there.

Dave Ball, but Morgan was already in mid-tackle when
he was touched by Ball
My thoughts when it happened were...
that even though the whistle hadn’t been blown and Morgan was already in his dive, he wasn’t really going after a live ball, as much as he was trying to knock it free. Which is fine, if it’s not that split-second late. Still not fine worthy though. But that’s my take.

But I thought klug knocked it out of flaccos hand

Morgan hit verdict
His biggest weakness is obviously stopping in mid air. We need him to work on that ASAP

yeah you cant make it in this league without that skillset
All in all, the NFL just wants to completely disable intense physical play on defense, and its working see how many qbs this season on record breaking pace

Couple of questions for you FF gurus here.
Would you drop D. Henderson for D. Nelson? Henderson should only see playing time for another week or two, but Nelson should continue to be a solid #2 because of injuries. So get him now before he’s gone?
And K. Moreno has become available, is he worth dropping Cook for? By what I’ve read, he’s healing up. It’s risk/reward with him. I was trying to hang on to Cook for obvious reasons, but I’m weak at RB due to injuries.
I apologize for butting in, but this may be a weekly thing for me to ask for thoughts, as this is only my second year playing. Lol

yes pick up nelson.
Stevie has got a groin injury and is ify for this week it sounds like.

I picked up Nelson in my league...
as far as Moreno goes he burned me last year a few times, so I am not too high on him. However if you need a number one RB than I would have to say he will average you more points any weekend than our boy Cook.
I am going for the Green'd hat-trick in this post!

Unfortunately, Morgan isn’t anywhere as big a “name” guy as Reed is…
… so he won’t get away from being fined like Reed was.
Maybe someday he will.
Also, maybe someday they will get a commish who will let the players play a little more and cut down on some of those stupid fines for legit plays…

I had to stop arguing with drunks, Steeler fans, and all other fools.
It was making my brick wall jealous...
