Mike32282 Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 JP Losman faked the handoff to the RB, and then ran a bootleg. He was going downfield towards the sideline and Troy Vincent was right there, in front of him. It looked like Vincent hit him with his shoulders and it wasn't purposely. I will say right now...Vincent was NOT intentionally trying to hurt him, and wasn't trying to hit him hard. It was just the way he hit him. They wore pads and there was a LOT of hard hitting. After the play, JP Losman got up and limped a little bit and then the training staff came over and worked his leg, and ankle. They picked him up and loaded him onto the cart. One more thing... When Losman was down, Troy Vincent stayed with him for a while and wanted to make sure he was okay, plus was telling him how sorry he was. He stayed with him, until the cart came.

Rayzer32 Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 JP Losman faked the handoff to the RB, and then ran a bootleg. He was going downfield towards the sideline and Troy Vincent went to tackle him, because once the QB leaves the pocket, he is fair game. It looked like Vincent hit him with his shoulders and it wasn't purposely. I think it was just a heat of the moment thing, and Vincent was pretty pumped up today.

But I think it was the fact that it was in the heat of the moment and Vincent, probably was not thinking and just went for the tackle. It wasn't a hard hit, but it was the way he hit him.

Golden Wheels Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 A veteran like Vincent should know what the red jersey means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustang Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 Vincent isnt a rookie cb- he should know better to even put a shoulder into a quarterback when he is wearing the red jersey. There is no excuse for that- heat of the moment or not it is unacceptable. If he was a backup he would have been cut today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turd ferguson Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 Its football, people are supposed to hit and be hit, and they better be prepared at ALL times!!!!!! Was JP wearing the red jersey???

Rayzer32 Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 Its football, people are supposed to hit and be hit, and they better be prepared at ALL times!!!!!! 6479[/snapback] That is why they came up with wearing the red jersey....so as not to get hit!!! Think about it. Just like in the NHL, players returning from injury wear green jerseys until they are ready for contact. It's a safety issue.

LabattBlue Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 If it was a 3rd string defender knocking down Bledsoe instead of Vincent on Losman, I would bet the player would be cut tomorrow. I don't care if Losman started to go upfield, the defensive players should not even be close to him. THAT'S WHY THEY WEAR THE RED JERSEYS!!

That'll make it easier than red AND the French will have a reason to watch a real sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, JP Losman was being stupid anyways. He could have gone out of bounds, but he was trying to show off and gain the extra yards on the starting defense.

He is smarter that that. He is probably frustrated because he hasn't hit anything since coming here. Too bad his first hit was on our future.

The downside of this is he won't be seeing much more practice time in the preseason, unless it's very minor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
