Pitt QB Kenny Pickett with the 1st ever Fake Slide Rushing TD

[Darealtwo1]

That's a bad ref crew.....This wouldn't happen in the NFL because they would have blown the play dead once he did the fake slide.

I don't see why it should be illegal.

 

[CarltonJunior]

That shyt was fire. Keep it in.

Defenders furious.

 

[No..Money..Mo..Problems]

I don't see why it should be illegal.

Anybody can slide and give themselves up in football the difference is when the QB does it defenders are not allowed to make any contact or refs will flag them. If it's a receiver or running back the defender is allowed to fall on top of them and tag them down as long as they don't use excessive force or lead with there helmet. This fake slide goes against the spirit of the rule protecting QBs from unnecessary contact. You either got get rid of these protections or call him down on the spot

It's just like a pump fake or juke. Dude ain't down until his leg makes contact with the turf

 

[Heavy_Handz]

That shyt was TOUGH

 

[Karume]

how do we know he did it on purpose?

 

[Big Boss]

it ain't even impressive just rule abuse. if james harden played qb he'd do shyt like this every week

and while he scored, cool. won't be shocked if defenders start some "i thought he was fake sliding whoops" mess

 

[Lil Bape the PostGod]

So the fake spike should be illegal too ?

no way they can say that’s illegal or make it a rule

 

[YaThreadTrashB!]

So the fake spike should be illegal too

Not mad but it's not a juke. Because you can stillattempt to tackle someone juking the same can't be said for someone sliding.

you right about that one fasho

 

[ABlackMan]

He didn't juke anybody It's a stupid play that's gonna get him hurt. Defenders are taught to peel off once the QB is slowing down and sliding. When he gets his wig split the same people cheering for this play are gonna be screaming cheap shot

no because i came up hit stick era lol its football you gonna get hit, should be expected. you gamble you win you lose, it goes one way or the other.

No one is mad about a "juke". It has to do with QB's being protected when they slide, and him clearly acting like he's going to slide because he knows a defender won't hit him, and then stays on his feet and scores a TD. He's lucky he didn't tear something pulling that crap.

If he tries that again, I won't feel bad if he gets his jaw broken..

you big mad brotha

 

[Lil Bape the PostGod]

is it illegal? If so, why?

If you want to make this ok then you can’t protect QBs during slides …all it takes is for this to happen one time in the NFL and if it isn’t outlawed QBs will be getting mailed every week
