At this point, Saturday may have to save Irsay from himself. Why would Jeff Saturday do that? No one else is going to give him a head coaching job, so if he wants to coach, this is probably the best chance he's going to get. I guess he might care about random dudes on the internet making fun of him, but he probably doesn't. I encourage everyone to take any job that is willing to overpay you to do some shit you probably aren't qualified to do. That's the motherfucking American Dream, shout out to Dusty. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elizium Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Why would we want to make Irsay sell the team? He's awesome. Give me more crackpot owners, less tech bros and faceless VCs.

EdA Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Yeah, crazy owners are the best. And as Raider fan I really don't think I can throw stones at Irsay being crazy. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 The funny thing is that for years, Irsay was a pretty hands off owner. It's only pretty recently he's been deeply involving himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted January 26, 2023 Author Share Posted January 26, 2023 The Washington Post has an article today that the league is planning on looking into rule changes around "hip drop tackles" (Patrick Mahomes and Tony Pollard's injuries this past week and Deebo Samuel's injury earlier this year were all from tackles that fit the parameters) https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2023/01/26/nfl-mechanics-tony-pollard-injury/ Quote The NFL does not believe the tackles that injured Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard during this past weekend’s divisional-round playoff games were illegal under the current rules, multiple people familiar with the deliberations said Wednesday. The league and its competition committee do plan to consider the “mechanics of the tackle in Pollard’s case” as part of their offseason discussions, one of those people said. ---------- Representatives of the league and the competition committee meet annually during the offseason to discuss potential rule changes, with an emphasis on player-safety measures, and review plays from the previous season. Their plan to review Ward’s tackle of Pollard does not mean there necessarily will be a rule change proposed. But it does signal at least a measure of concern over the technique used by Ward. A potential precedent for making a rule change might be found in Australia, where the National Rugby League has banned tackles similar in appearance to those that brought down Mahomes and Pollard. Starting in 2020, the NRL has levied punishment, including multigame suspensions, for what it describes as “hip drop” tackles. An official with the NRL said that decision came after the Sydney-based organization “saw an increased occurrence of these types of tackles, some of which resulted in serious injuries to attacking players including a broken ankle, ACL tear and many high-ankle sprains.” ------------ As with horse-collar tackles, hip drop tackles tend to occur either directly from behind or at an angle and can place a ballcarrier at great risk of suffering a major lower-body injury.

If you're trying to tackle someone who can literally drag you down the field, dropping your weight is kind of the only think you can do. I'd prefer fewer injuries, but this is something that happens on every drive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 As a Colts fan, I want Irsay to sell the team, but he's way too pilled up to ever think rationally enough to do that. And considering the Colts have become the team that is the landing spot for washed up and past their prime QBs, I can't think of a more perfect QB for them to trade for that Aaron Rodgers.
