Message: [QUOTE="businesslawyer, post: 5087416, member: 55"] This. The sliding rule can only protect you when you’re giving up yardage to protect yourself by sliding before people have already committed to clobbering you. Like NFL QBs routinely do. Throughout college, the slide is being used by QBs after they’ve gained as much yardage as they can to avoid a hit at the last minute. I side with the DBs on most of these. Yes, the hit on Evers last week would have been a targeting at Maryland a month ago, but I disagreed with those calls as well. If you want protection you have to go down to avoid a hit in the future, not to avoid a hit that is already imminent and the defender is committed to. [/QUOTE]
