OK, was the Mike Mitchell play dirty?

[top dawg]

Was all that extra activity bring down Stew really necessary?  I'm not convicting him. I'm just asking. 

[Lemory]

No it wasn't dirty. It was a proper tackle that just had a bad outcome.

[teeray]

Just Mitchell being Mitchell. That is how he rolls. He toes the line, but I admire the guys heart and passion

Maybe not but the Worrilds hit on Cam's knees was pure meanness. Sorry, Top Dawg, but being a newbie I cannot, of course start a thread. I would appreciate it if someone would if they haven't already. The only remotely related topic I can find is this one. I looked at the play over and over and am convinced that he unnecessarily accelerated into Cam's lower legs!! I believe that they were trying to take Cam out any way they could (which is football I know). The refs should have called that one though.

I agree to an extent. I thought some of the hits on Cam would have drawn flags if his name was Brees, Brady or Manning.

So, you're not buying he "He got blocked and slipped" argument?

 

No need to answer. That was rhetorical.

 

If non-All-Pro Huddlers had the power to edit our own titles like we used to, I would edit it in your honor because it is a valid question.

worrilds hit wasn't intentional. instant replay showed it wasn't, and he immediately went to newton to apologize and make sure newton knew he wasn't deliberately trying to hurt him.

as far as mitchell's hit on stewart...i have my suspicions.

[TheRumGone]

Didn't think it was dirty at all. Mike played well

[t96]

Not even close.

Yeah, I know what his mouth was saying, but it's not like he tried to stop himself.  I'm sure there may be some homerism in that sentiment, but it did look mighty suspicious, even after replay to me.

[LinvilleGorge]

Nope. Just football. Mitchell has to feel great after last night's win. Our safeties looked like dog poo.

[tiger7_88]

I thought Stew got hurt cuz he jumped in the air and came down awkwardly in the middle of a tackle.

 

Didn't see anything dirty about it.

Hmmph!

I must have missed that part. I saw Mitchell bending the man's upper body back, pressuring his knees, as Stew was clearly going down.  The only thing that gives Mitchell some benefit of doubt is that Stew is obviously a helluva load to bring down.
