Incognito trying to out-Barron Alex Barron

by Ryan Van Bibber on Dec 16, 2008 3:18 PM CST in 2008 St. Louis Rams season

Blockhead OG Richie Incognito's fine four penalty game this week put his total penalties at 10 (11 if you count the offsetting holding call he had in the 3rd quarter), good enough for the team lead.

That three (four) penalty performance ties Incognito with Barron for the team lead. Hooray!

That was also the second game where Incognito had three or more penalties. Barron's still the king of the false start, while Incognito seems to favor the hold.

Surely John Greco can do what Incognito does come 2009, without the penalties, right?

I had forgotten about the offsetting call against Incognito, which was probably the single stupidest play of the day, because the defense had already jumped offsides. Hey sh*thead, you’ve just earned a free play, let whatever is happening ride, because the worst case scenario is you get another shot at the same down from five yards further up. There’s only one way to screw up a free play, and that’s to get a penalty of your own.

Is there a way to see how many penalties a player actually gets?

I’m talking about penalties that are accepted, declined and are part of off-setting penalties? Unless, that’s already reflected in the total.

The boys are all here for ya...we'll back you up...we'll be there...cause, Billy, we don't stink right now. We're the best team in baseball right now...right this minute...because of you. You're the reason. We're not gonna screw that up, we're gonna be awesome for you right now. Just throw.

don't know

football stats are notoriously difficult to find. The Washington Post collects penalty data for players, but not very specific as to accepted, declined, etc.

taiko, I think Richie was fooled on the defensive offsides too
