My thought as well. Not sure what was going through Jackson’s mind thereBB: "Maybe we can block him next time, [JC!]"

Yeah, that was weird, and the outcome was bad. But aren't there penalties (and/or 'unwritten laws') against targeted a QB with a block during an interception return?My thought as well. Not sure what was going through Jackson’s mind there
Good question. But if the QB is racing headlong to tackle a guy who has the ball after an interception, he should be fair game to be blocked just like any other player. But I don't know what the exact rules are there. @CFB_Rules ???Yeah, that was weird, and the outcome was bad.

A blindside or low block to a QB will indeed be flagged, but Jackson had the chance to land a frontal block based on the angle in the film. Of course, it happens in real time and seems like a mental error that should result in a teachable moment.Yeah, that was weird, and the outcome was bad.

If the QB is legitimately trying to make a tackle, then the restrictions are similar to those on a wide receiver coming across the middle. The QB is considered "defenseless" after a change of possession. Meaning you can hit them, but you can't go high, can't spear them, etc.Good question.

I think blindside/low on anybody will draw a flag - I thought QBs had some additional protection (since it used to be standard to target them after INTs).A blindside or low block to a QB will indeed be flagged, but Jackson had the chance to land a frontal block based on the angle in the film.

Yep that was my takeaway as well.So... Zolak got poked in the eye?
Should we take BB spending half of the recap on a couple of special teams plays (not the block) as a meta-commentary from BB on his offensive and defensive units?
No. He has always done this. And TBH ST has sucked this year for the most part until Sunday.Should we take BB spending half of the recap on a couple of special teams plays (not the block) as a meta-commentary from BB on his offensive and defensive units?
Maybe, but that's Scott Zolak.Did Vinatieri put on a ton of weight?
When I watched it at least it was pre-empted by one of those gambling ads with Adam and maybe it was the pads, but dude, he looked BEEFY. Like he had made a late career position change.Maybe, but that's Scott Zolak.
Man, this guy.Kind of a reverse-breakdown on Belichick. Seriously cracked me up. The punchline is at the end when he asks a question.
"You'd never know the @Patriots scored 54 judging by Bill Belichick's reactions. "
Highlight of N'Keal's career or catalyst to "new and improved?!" A guy can dream...BB was mic'd up last Sunday.
Clearly BB agreed to be mic’d up to increase Harry’s trade value prior to the deadline.Highlight of N'Keal's career or catalyst to "new and improved?!" A guy can dream...

Always enjoyable... but these used to be at least 2x as long. We only get 4 minutes and 3 plays here. Is it just me or did these all used to be a bit under 10 minutes?
Agreed, they used to be longerAlways enjoyable... but these used to be at least 2x as long. We only get 4 minutes and 3 plays here. Is it just me or did these all used to be a bit under 10 minutes?
When BB segues to the Phillips pick 6 it appears that they cut out some of Zo's commentary. Maybe they are just editing more ruthlessly and the result is shorter segments.Agreed, they used to be longer
For just a second I didn't realize which thread I was in and thought they took this one away from him too.No Jakobi TD! Bummer.
Looking at his take on the 4th and 2 INT and I just love the way the D sees Tannehill lock in on his target and moves to get there.
