Myles Garrett

Deion Sanders is blaming Rudolph for this.... wow

Sign him up as the new FSU coach.

It’s Rudolph’s fault... I’m blaming that clown too.

 

[PanamaCityCanes]

LMAO. That is precisely what they've been doing for eons.

Uh, what? Show me ten examples this year of a player in any sport using something like a helmet or a bat against someone's unprotected head.

Anyone claiming he should be in jail is out of their mind IMO.

So wait until someone goes blind or gets killed before setting a precedent for legal action against this type behavior? This has to be addressed immediately IMO. I'm fine with letting this slide legally & implementing a Myles Garrett or White Guy Rudolph rule. Going forward, I do not think suspension is enough for this act. It has to be considered criminal.

Lmao at people on here truly taking sides because they're the same race as one of the players. Same culprits every **** time.

We should all be be saying the same thing if it was Tim Tebow hitting Vontaze Burfict over the head. Wrong is wrong.

Looking forward to the Myles sympathizers here taking the cop’s side the next time an excessive force case gets caught on camera

But would you?
hit dogs will holler
@streetja aye for real it’s always the same culprits. Usual suspects is what I call em.

You are really good at false equivalencies

That's stupid. You can make the same argument in the case of Rudolph initially trying to rip Garrett's helmet off; that is a dangerous act that puts Garrett's neck at risk. Should Rudolph be imprisoned? If we're getting SVU with it, Rudolph charged after Garrett before he got hit, self-defense argument all-day. Not sure what Rudolph being white has to do with it.

 

[SWFLHurricane]

Is the Helmet okay??

 

[supersaiyanshel]

Let's review the Rudolph/Garrett event:

1.) Garrett tackles Rudolph to the ground at or near the time he releases the ball.

2.) Rudolph gets in his feelings and tries to rip Garrett's helmet off his head, while it is still attached. A quite dangerous move when you consider the importance of the spinal cord to human function.

3.) Garrett retaliates and actually DOES rip Rudolph's helmet off and is subsequently pushed away by the offensive linemen.

4.) Rudolph gets off the ground and goes after Garrett.

5.) Garrett strikes Rudolph on the head with his own helmet. A quite dangerous move when you consider the importance of the brain to human function.

6.) Worthy of note is the fact that Garrett is then punched and kicked multiple times by one of the Pouncey brothers.

Did we miss anything?

Yes. Rudolph also kicked Garrett in the nuts during the scrum.

I have no problem with the NFL coming down on Garrett hard. But I don't know how anyone can act like Rudolph's hands are clean in all of this.

Each man is responsible for his own actions. If you can't see that as the truth, then you probably won't get very far in your own life.

I think your reasoning is asinine to compare pulling at a face-mask versus hitting a man over the head with a weapon. Not comparable for me. To each his own. I don't know Rudolph's name. Was being facetious. Disregard. Meant nothing.

Someone antagonizes a cop and the cop retaliates with excessive force. How is that different?

 

[Number1CanesFan]

Wow. WTF was he thinking

He wasn't. I expect a season long suspension.

Part of a cop's job is de-escalating situations, not the opposite. That's why excessive force is a thing.

 

[MainLineCane]

If this happened to Miami it would be the death penalty but sec gets away with it with a slap on the wrist or in this case a face slap

You do realize we're talking about the NFL's Browns vs. Steelers??

Respect to the good ones. You couldn't pay me to deal with what they have to. You're right though.

Cops are trained to do that and players are trained from pop warner to stop when helmets come off. They throw flags when people keep playing without a helmet. Not only did Garrett not stop or even use his hands, he hit him in the head with a helmet.

Main point being emotions or losing your cool aren’t an excuse.
