King Pick 6

35 DBs taken before him..... sigh
He tossed Witten in the first half like a beast aswell. Stud!
He is good, but As the announcers pointed out, that was a stupid play that should've been flagged and would have hurt his team.
To me it looked like one of those plays where momentum to finish the tackle is past the point of no return just as the referee's whistle is blown. For this reason, the refs decision to hold onto the flag was correct. I suppose an argument could be made that the tackle was unnecessarily rough but King was just doing his job IMO, he didn't drop Whitten on his head.
I'm thankful for the Dallas Cowboys. Twice in the last 3 weeks they've been on the wrong side of Hawkeye Defenders
Behind a little...just saw it. Way to go Des...a lot of teams slept on him, measureables schmeasureables...timing beats speed.
It was after the play was dead or after forward progress had been stopped, which is a personal foul. https://www.prideofdetroit.com/2016...ons-body-slam-illegal-rulebook-replay-penalty
The play wasn't dead yet, not at the point that the final momentum of tackle had been initiated- that's the point I was making. The article you linked arrived at the same conclusion about the play they reviewed, they wrote
Conclusion
"This isn’t a rare call from the NFL. Any violent-looking play that involves a player getting picked up and thrown to the ground tends to draw a flag. But in this case, I thought it was a poor call. This play was not dead yet."
Its a discretionary call. The ref made the right call on King's tackle IMO.
In that same game the analyst had several good things to say about Hitchens on the Dallas defense. His only problem with Hitchens is being forced to play out of position as the MLB, since Sean Lee is hurt.
Dez’s pick 6 basically ended the game. Dallas was only down 2 scores and were driving into the red zone. Atta boy Dez!
