I question about Cyclones Cotton-Moya ..........

[HerdBoy]

When I was on the CF board I came across this picture of their captains. It looks like the two captains on the right have something sticking out the side of their sock. I wonder if it's the same thing they pulled out of Cotton-Moya's shoulder pads?

I think the things in their socks might be their mouthpieces.

Actually, I think it was their nutsacks.

He intended to blow the receiver up. After that, the only question tends to be where you hit the receiver. If you hit him in the head or neck area, you are almost always going to get flagged. It doesn't matter if you hit the receiver with your helmet or your shoulder IF you hit him in the head or neck. That was a comment made by Mike Pereira the officiating guru. You avoid it by pulling off the hit. Thorton did it on a swing pass that got dropped. He was going to light the guy up and laid off when the ball got dropped. The way the game is officiated has changed. Smart players adjust.

Yeah if you watch the replay in slo-mo the guy dips his head down just before the contact.

One angle it looked like it was and the other angle it didnt. He was woozy which makes me think he was, unless it was good acting

I have a hunch it's something like this.

As for the hit, if there had been an attempt to arm tackle, the art of which has been sorely lost, there may not have been a penalty. Instead the defender tried to use his body as a ballistic missile which runs the risk of targeting.

As has been said, smart players adjust.

Well it would be one thing if he had his head up, but he dips his head and uses the crown of the helmet.

Good one, sure, pic must have been taken before the game because in the 4th quarter their sacs were seen just below their esophagus!

Arm tackling isn't exactly an art form that is desired in the sport of football.

I don't think that was it, I wondered if it was something for the radio communication to helmet? Do those use a box for that or are those devices all self contained in helmets? Since this box was rectangular and larger than a hand. Didn't look at all like the picture they showed.

Those are all self contained in helmets, however I didn't think those were allowed in college.

What do you think that was when Brian Schaetz buried Wimberly?
