OK, was the Mike Mitchell play dirty?

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.

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.

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.

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.

 

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.

    • You don’t even need 1b because Tepper is the only one foolish enough to wheel that deal.    Player wise? Jake’s elbow. JR and Pep getting sideways, no Carruth, Cam’s shoulder, Luke’s concussions, it would be a long list of stuff. You can take it down to certain plays in games. Fox chasing 2 point conversions in the SB would be on my list. RMJr slipping at the end of that same game was not helpful. 
    • Ultimately this just amounts to heavy revisionist history. I mean you aren't talking to someone that just popped out the womb a week ago. I was here all throughout the predraft process. The overwhelming majority of the fanbase felt like this was a fine situation and the best situation for a rookie QB to go to compared to Houston for example. The hype for Young and our "rockstar" staff was off the charts. No one could dare speak cautious skepticism of his abilities or they would be neg repped into oblivion. Only after he had one of statistical worst rookie seasons of the last 25 years did we get this narrative now that his rookie season actually shouldn't count. Complete malarkey if you ask me.
    • On the field? Since I guess it qualifies as multiple instances it might not count, but have the damn refs throw some flags on illegal hits to Cam's head in SB50. If that doesn't count, 1A. Cotchery caught it 1B. Kasey keeps that kickoff inbounds. Off the field? 1A. Team is sold to anyone but Tepper 1B. We have the patience not to mortgage the franchise on that Bryce trade. Stroudwpuldve been the better pick but he's not worth it either.
