"Illegal crackback block on a defenseless player, with targeting."

Let me clarify:
It would have been a blindside block had it met the criteria for a blindside block. It was nothing resembling a crack back block.
Blindside blocks require the blocker to be moving toward his own goal line (against the grain of the play if you will). That clearly wasn't happening with the Perkins play.
For sarkastic: One of the criteria for a blindside block is that the blocker comes at the opponent from the side or from behind (BRB, JO). It should never be called a blindside block in this scenario because the block is coming from the front of the blockee.

I'm surprised people are surprised by that -
I think a few members of the onfield crew should be missing a game or two for fucking that call up. I think the replay officials for that game should be DONE. Not warned, just DONE.RaceBannon said:

Corrente actually wanted the ability to fix this shit but the teams got in the way, if Pereira's story is true. -
Constructive criticism for Jim Blackwood:

I don't get it I guess. The guy was coming after Ross. No helmet leading, no crack back, no blind side. Hit him square in the shoulders. The guy was leveled on a clean block.GrundleStiltzkin said:Horseshit call
Blind side refers to the position on the field in relation to which way the play is moving. Not which way the player is facing.
He is a defenseless player by rule. The only discretionary issue is whether Perkins targeted him. Its a weak call because he used his shoulder and he was barely moving before initiating the block. But what the ref must have looked at is that he left his feet on the follow through.
The ref should watch some hockey games. There is a huge difference between launching yourself through the air and powering up and through a hit such that you leave the ground on the follow through. One should be ejectable and the other shouldn't. -
You're missing the fact the pussy player saw what was coming but turned his vision back toward making the tackle.
It was a bullshit call and wasn't overturned by the P-12 office ONLY due to the fact Scott is in the middle of a fire storm right now for not supporting his refs. -
He's not a defenseless player. He was blocked from in front by a player moving forward.FremontTroll said:

Actually, by rule, this play involves neither (1) a blindside block, nor (2) a defenseless player, nor (3) targeting. Oh for three ain't bad; you should play first base for the Mariners.FremontTroll said:A bunch of people are missing the meaning of a blind side block.

He is defenseless by rule because of Perkins moving parallel to his goal line and approaching from the defenders side. Doesn't matter that he turned and got hit in the chest.
The issue is whether he was targeted. I already explained he was not targeted and that is why it was a bad call.
Hope this helps.
