JJ Watt Blood Rule?

Just came across this. Amazed that there wasn't already something in place. What with all the emphasis on bloodborne pathogens these days.

They have it in Boxing and MMA. Since the ref can stop the fight for it it's essential to have a good Cut-man.

The NBA has had rules on the books since Magic Johnson tested positive for HIV.

In time in time. However I agree with so many stories of some players sleeping around you do have to be concerned.

The Seahawks beating the piss out of people like J.J. Watt being the reason the NFL adopts a blood rule? Yes, please. The legend continues to grow.

:lol: :lol:

Seriously though, despite losing, per usual JJ looked like the best player on the field.

Watt is a friggin' manimal, and I wish we had him. No joke.

Seriously, me too. There's a somewhat widely disliked poster on the Webzone (disliked 50% because he can be kinda cocky, and 50% because he's not an idiot -- hey, it's the webzone ) who has been hammering the 9ers for taking Aldon Smith over JJ Watt since the moment the pick went in back in 2011. Gotta say, he looks pretty vindicated at this point.

Watt is the best pick of that draft, and probably a top 3 or top 5 pick of the past 5 years altogether, to be honest.

Its really amazing the league hasn't forced players off the field until blood flow can be stopped. Guy like Watts, remind me of Butkus, & Nitschke, who would have knocked you flat if you told them that.

But in todays realism players with blood flowing should not be allowed on the field of play.

Since that would have taken Watts out of the game I imagine players like him will start fastening their helmets securly. Its become obvious that many players are not keeping helmets tightened up very well. We are seeing helmets hit the ground 6-10 times a game.

Watts cut undoubtably came from his helmet being to lose and coming down on the bridge of his nose during that tackle on Wilson.

:les:

Michael Bowie was on one of the local radio stations and he said that the first play he lined up against Watt... Blew him up and said, "welcome to the NFL."

When Watt was bleeding he asked the ref is that was allowed, Watt asked "you scared of a little blood?"

Dudes crazy.

Anyone remember Owen Schmitt

Even the wife couldn't believe that he was allowed on the field with that gusher. Wounded? fine.. gushing blood all over that is uncontrollable and filling his mouth? Out of there until patched up.

I wish that guy was a Seahawk. He is nothing short of amazing. Kaeperstank is going to love that guy.
