"A lot of people think it's a foul to leave your feet," ... Pereira said yesterday from New York. "Launching is not a foul. There is nothing in the rulebook that states that at all. It's a misconception people have.
"It is a foul to hit with your helmet against a defenseless receiver. It is a foul to throw a forearm into the neck or head area of your opponent. I don't think either of those things happened. I'm not a fan of those high hits but if you do it with your shoulder you're OK."
That's awesome. That's the risk receivers take when they go across the middle. It isn't hockey, so leaving your feet during a hit is legal. Remember when the NFL actually DEFENDED a Steelers player's hit?
aolnews.com/2008/12/03/nfl-defends-ryan-clarks-hit-on-wes-welker/ Those were the days. I like the ref's comment at the end of the article. Basically he said that he threw the flag cuz the hit looked like a "decleater" LoL
