He should of got 2, pouncy shoulda got 4-6 tho Out of everyone involved I kinda feel sorry for Pouncey. A dude basically tries to kill your teammate.....what are you supposed to do? I'd take that dude blocking Ryan any day. It wasn't about football to him after he saw the helmet come smashing down. He doesn't have a **** thing to feel regretful over.

Beyond football that's the kind of **** I'd expect my boys to do if someone tried smashing a football helmet into my exposed head. And you can see it in real time too. Pouncey is approaching at a jog but once Garrett swings the helmet......you can see the switch get flipped with Pouncey and it's immediate.....he went into ahh **** nah mode real quick like.

That being said, I hope Ryan is smart enough not run up on a dlineman after his line pulled him off. Someone needs to inform Rudolph that stupidity is supposed to hurt. He's lucky he's not in a concussion protocol again. Bigbenright, Peteshweddy, Jpowors and 2 others like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 16 (edited) 41 minutes ago, PeytonMannings Forehead said: Lyle Alzado ripped a guys helmet off and swung it at him. He missed though. Yeah I don’t agree with that but the writer of the article seems to think Mason Rudolph has no blame in the matter and chastens at any suggestion otherwise. Escalation is trying to rip someone’s helmet off because you don’t like that way you were tackled, which is what Rudolph did, and then after he got tossed around like a rag doll he further escalates the situation by going at Garrett again. Thats escalation. If he hadn’t have tried to rip Garrett’s helmet off none of this happens. If he hadn’t have decided to break bad and jump up at Myles Garrett who was clearly backing away then he wouldn’t have gotten bopped on the head. He had multiple opportunities at a different outcome. Nah... Escalation is when you are on your feet with a chance to walk away, the other guy on the ground, and you decide to reach back down to grab his helmet and drag him by it until it comes off. Then don't stop there, let's swing it at a guys head and potentially kill him. At that point , everything went off the rails, and that is Escalation. It all could have all been prevented if Garrett doesn't try to get his dirty shot in on a meaningless play. The guy beside Garrett pulled up on the throw and he could have to. He had the QB in a bear hug, both arms down, and obviously with no football. Even then he spun around with him multiple times before throwing him down. Garrett knew what he was doing.

Posted November 16 My take on it... Rudolph...prickish behavior and he definitely deserved to be roughed up. He was trying to rip Garrett's helmet off and it certainly looked like he kicked him in the nuts on purpose to me Garrett....could have killed a dude. Inexcusable behavior. Browns player whose name I'm not gonna try to spell: You poor *******. You had no idea what was happening and you just shoved the **** out of the first Browns player you ran up on and your body language was like.......did I just **** up? Pouncey.....I get the suspension. But respect my dude. I understand the suspension.....nothing but respect though. You did nothing wrong.

Everyone acts like he was mad for no reason. I was just explaining escalation. If the helmet never gets swung, none of the rest gets that bad, and everyone is playing next week with some fines maybe. vitaman likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
