He's an idiot. Hurt his team bigtime there. Score tied 13-13 in the 4th quarter. Bears would have had 3rd and 5. Because of this clown they faced 3rd and 20. Didn't make it, punted, and Saints drove for the game-winning field goal. If I were the Bears, he'd be cut today.

Eddit: Correction: Saints did drive down and kick a field goal to go ahead after the incident, but the Bears were able to kick a game-tying field goal in the last seconds. Bears lost in overtime. Point stands that Wims may well have cost his team their best shot at winning the game. Dumb move.

THREAD: My Zapruder breakdown of the Chauncey Gardner-Johnson/Javon Wims beef.

It begins on this play on the Bears’ first possession of the second half. After exchanging some words, CJGJ rips Wims’ mouthpiece off and it falls onto the ground.

Russel Wilson's kinda fake slide that drew a controversial penalty on 9ers Jimmie Ward.

I think we talked about this last week, some QBs (Mahomes, Jackson) seem to use defenders hesitation to touching them to their advantage like faking or delaying going out of bounds to get a few more yards since the defenders hold up not wanting to draw a flag on a sideline hit.

or sliding late or waiting until the last second getting as much yards as possible before late sliding right in front of a defender.

Im glad this is being talked about. I think we drew a 15 yard penalty when one of our guys hit Daniel Jones when he was kinda diving forward vs sliding. refs gave him protection for some reason.

I think QBs should have to slide early if they want protection. I dont think you should be able to slide if a defender is within a 2 yard circumference of you.

Also noticed it seems like they are spotting the ball where the QB slides ends vs before they would spot it right where the Qb first starts his slide.

I'm pretty sure NFL QBs get the same protection whether they are sliding feet first or head first, and the ball should be spotted where the slide began - wherever the ball is when the first body part (other than the feet) touches the ground. If a ref spotted it at the end of the slide, it was a bad spot.

I don't think so, a QB running with the ball, especially past the LoS, is a runner and has no particular protection.
If he slides feet first though, you're right, he gives himself up, forward progress is stopped at the beginning of the slide, and he becomes a defenseless player so contact to the head and neck area is prohibited... but technically a defender doesn't need to touch him, the play is over when he begins sliding.

Now, I agree it should be made clear that:

-you can't fake slide, if you begin to slide, the play is over

-you don't get specific protection if you're making a move and then slide at the last second. Like either make it 2 yards from a defender or "defender has to have a reasonable react time".

Wow... I sure hope there's some sort of misinterpretation there... Because that rule doesn't make ANY sense IMO... Especially since it seems to be concerning all ball carrier, not just QBs...

hey Chief .. good call. They changed the rule to protect for head first slides back in 2018 as well. Now I know.
