The Michael Firrito free kick continues to generate considerable debate, with coaches Nathan Buckley and Chris Scott surprised the AFL said it was correct.Umpires coach Hayden Kennedy backed Justin Schmitt after his controversial free against the North Melbourne defender in the opening minute of Saturdays loss to Port Adelaide.Port forward Jay Schulz was tackling Firrito in the goalsquare when the North backman handballed through the rushed behind.Schmitt paid the free against Firrito for a deliberate rushed behind and Schulz kicked the easiest of goals to put Port on the board.He thought Michael then had an opportunity to dispose of the ball, Kennedy told the AFL website.He doesnt and once he gets tackled, he handballs it with force well over the (goal) line.Justin weighed up those two particular items and because of the distance away from the (goal) line and from where it (the handball) landed, he thought it was a deliberate rushed behind.Kennedy conceded Firrito was under pressure, but said the rushed behind was intentional and could have been avoided.Buckley was asked on Monday night if he thought it would have been paid a free kick for deliberate.No, I wouldnt have thought it would have, personally, the Collingwood coach told AFL 360.Firstly, I didnt realise there was a distance from the goal line, that it was too far out.So if hed been tackled and done that from half a metre, that would have been okay.I dont see that in the law book.The fact that its come out and in the cold heart light of day been validated, is probably of a concern.Now defenders will not make it that deliberate, because there are plenty of deliberate rushed behinds (and) there are plenty that arent paid - thats the grey area in the game.Until Monday, Scott thought 100 per cent that the determining factor in paying a free for a deliberate rushed behind was the pressure that the player is under.You cant get much more pressure than that, the Geelong coach said.Scott also noted Firrito was in the goalsquare when tackled.Scott and Buckley readily agreed it was a deliberate rushed behind, but noted players did that often in games without penalty.

Coach Mike Munchak says Fokou stretched ligaments in his left knee Oct. 13 against Seattle, which could keep out up to five weeks even though the linebacker didnt need surgery. BALTIMORE -- After watching two of his players get carried off the field Saturday night -- including tight end Benjamin Watson, who is expected to miss the entire regular season with a torn Achilles -- Ravens coach John Harbaugh was critical of the number of preseason games.Its not the 70s anymore, Harbaugh said after the Ravens 30-9 win over the Detroit Lions. These guys playing in these games -- its tough -- and theyre not meaningful games. They are important to get better, and they improve us. But we football coaches can find ways to get our guys ready and get our players evaluated without the kind of risk that a game necessarily entails.Im really hopeful that the union and the league can get together and do something thats good for everybody -- especially whats good for the players and for the fans.Watson, 35, tore his right Achilles tendon on Baltimores first offensive play of the game. Running back Kenneth Dixon sprained his left knee late in the second quarter and will undergo an MRI on Sunday, although Harbaugh doesnt believe its a serious injury. ?Harbaugh indicated his stance on the four-game preseason has been a long-standing one and isnt a reaction to losing two impact players in one half.If you go more games, fewer preseason games and bigger rosters, thats good for everybody, Harbaugh said. To me, thats something that they can put their heads together and work out. It would be a positive.Asked for his thoughts on the right number of preseason games, Harbaugh said, If I had my choice, Id go none. That might be an eextreme point, but we could run scrimmages, or we could run practices against other teams and figure it out.dddddddddddd Wed all be in the same boat. Thats for people higher up than me to decide.Linebacker Terrell Suggs, who has been outspoken on other league issues, was not as passionate as Harbaugh when asked about his position on reducing preseason games.Anytime you line up on a football field and risk getting hurt, its out there, Suggs said. Truth be told, we need some of these games ... just maybe not four ... maybe three, maybe two. But we do need some of them, but other than that, people getting hurt, its very unfortunate, but we know its part of the game.Watson, who was the Ravens first free-agent signing this offseason, suffered the injury when he tripped over his feet while running a route over the middle. He was carried off the field and couldnt put any weight on his right leg.He is scheduled to have an MRI on Sunday and on Saturday night tweeted out thanks for all the love, encouragement and prayer.Watson was coming off a career year in?New Orleans?with 74 catches for 825 yards and six touchdowns. He had been one of the more durable tight ends, missing only one game in the past four seasons.The Ravens are down to one healthy tight end with experience: Crockett Gillmore. Baltimore has been without Dennis Pitta (fractured finger) and Maxx Williams (undisclosed) for most of the preseason. ' ' '
