SEA bench player runs out on field after INT to block. Missed by both on field and NFL officials

[reddogblitz]

Even if he thought the play was over and it really was and he ran out on the field that would be a penalty.

That's an old New England play.

They use it every week

 

Will probably pull it out of the tricks box Thursday.

Back in the 70's during a local HS game between the 2 city schools, a guy was running a kick-off back for a TC and a guy came off the bench and tackled him.

 

Stopped the score he got kicked out, never lived it down and the team got a 15 yr penalty. It was also televised by the local cable company.

I guess once the play was going on no one noticed it unlike a coach who should have been suspended for a year for tripping a player on the field.

 

Or a head coach who "accidentally" spilled a drink onto the court into the path of an opposition player in the NBA.

Lol yeah that’s what I think happened. He went out to celebrate, saw the play was still live and just tried to blend in 😅🤣

 

Any news on fine yet?

When I was a kid in the 70's, my Dad told me about this play from the 1954 Cotton Bowl

 

 

Damn, I was going to post this but you beat me to it.

 

On the play in the 1954 game, they awarded the ball carrier a touchdown on the basis of a rule that I am not aware of.

I guess the original post to the same tweet wasn't enough...had to put one further back so nobody had to go back so far 😂

I'm just wondering what he was thinking.  Was he running onto the field to celebrate and then realized his teammate wasn't down and tried to blend in? Is Carroll coaching players to do this since no one is watching? Did he just lose his mind? 

 

Yes, that's exactly what happened.  He wasn't trying to go on the field and cheat.

LOL! Yeah, I read your post too quickly and didn't see your tweet in it.

He thought the one who intercepted it called everyone out to celebrate at the back of the endzone to do those lame group poses

But he can't do that.  If he does, its a penalty.

Honestly what would have happened if a player actually did that? Would the team be awarded a TD due to an "unfair act"?

Yes.

It was a mistake by the refs. If the play had been dead and he ran out on the field to help the guys celebrate he would or at least should have been flagged.  I've seen it called several times.

 

Again, he was wearing a defensive players number.  He was right on the sidelines with his helmet on and buckled while he was not in the game.  How convenient.  And do you think he doesn't know the rules?  I'm not giving them a pass. It was cheating pure and simple 

IMHO.

I'd go with it was a mistake and funny,  but to each their own.

It started as a mistake but as soon as he started blocking it was cheating.  Will get call from Pat(hetic)s if available.

You do realize there’s usually at least 5-6 defenders standing by the coach with their helmets on waiting to run on field in case their number is called for the next play.

Agree to disagree.  I think it was cheating and you think it was an honest mistake.  Cool.  Have a nice day and Go BILLS.
