So, everyone remembers the relatively new 15-yard-personal-foul-penalty for a horse collar tackle in the NFL, right? Well, it was because of Roy Williams' constant horse collar tackles that the change was made.
Well, this year he has been penalized three times FOR THE PENALTY HE HELPED INSTIGATE. And, now he's suspended one game.
Quote:
NEW YORK -- Dallas Cowboys safety Roy Williams was suspended without pay for one game Monday by the NFL after his third illegal "horse collar" tackle of the season.
Williams, whose use of the tactic led to the league passing a rule making it a 15-yard penalty, did it against Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb in Sunday's 10-6 loss. He will miss Saturday night's game at Carolina, which will cost him $35,000 -- one week's salary.
Grabbing the inside collar of the back of the shoulder pads or jersey, or the inside collar of the side of the shoulder pads or jersey, and immediately pulling down a runner brings a 15-yard personal foul.
