Friday Flakes: Ndamukong Suh Continues to Make This Nebraska Fan Proud and a Mini-Book/Movie Review

Colt McCoy: “That looks familiar”

If you have paid any attention to the NFL the past several weeks, one of the most talked about topics is the new “roughing the passer” penalty in which defensive players who legally tackle a quarterback but happen to also land on the quarterback with their weight are penalized.

While football has been trying to legislate head injuries out of the sport, for good reason, this new rule is simply because of the almighty dollar. The NFL instituted this new “personal foul” rule after losing Aaron Rodgers last season after Anthony Barr of the Vikings landed on top of Rodgers while tackling. Just typing that sounds absurd.

A defender is penalized if he falls on top of a quarterback while tackling him.
