Title: Re: "Former Alabama RB Trent Richardson's signature rookie moment would draw penalty, fine unde Post by: Leroy on March 19, 2013, 11:09:02 AM Quote NFL Hall of Fame running back Emmitt Smith, who attended the same Pensacola, Fla., high school as Richardson, has been one of many current or former players to speak out against the proposal. "I'm a running back and I'm running into a linebacker, you're telling me I have to keep my head up so he can take my chin off?" Smith said in an interview with a Dallas radio station. "You've absolutely lost your mind. As a running back, it's almost impossible (to not lower your head). The first thing you do is get behind your shoulder pads. That means you're leaning forward, and the first part of contact that's going to take place is your head, regardless." |
