In addition the play had not been blown dead.

rules. against. throwing. entire. body. on. defensless. quarterback.

was that slow enough for you? tapping him on the foot would have yielded the same result.

if the league can expect a 320-lb DL to pull up one step away after a throw, they can expect linebackers to act more maturely in that situation.

I don't like the rules in place, but enforce them across the board if they exist.

There was no whistle. Apparently the refs thought McNabbit had been knocked down by his own man. Regardless, it was a close call. When I saw it first, in real time, I didn't see anything wrong. When I saw it in slo-mo, yah, I did think it was a foul. There is no rule per se against throwing your body on a "defenseless" QB, because a QB who has not been blown down is not "defenseless."

So show me the rules. It was a legal hit on a quarterback who is known to be able to scramble to make plays. Should the defender have waited until McNabb rolled over and was in the process of getting up to satisfy you or would you have rather had him wait until he was completely upright and on the move again?

It would seem to me that there are no such rules when I see a defensive lineman come screaming around the blind side of a quarterback and nail him from behind so hard that he drops the ball and has to be helped off the field.
