There Was This One Play.... Little Help?

[Anybodyhome]

Relatively early on in the game, Cam broke from the pocket and ran up the middle for a just a couple yard gain and did one of his patented awkward non-slide falls. The Falcon LB (Bartu?) planted both his knees into Cam and actually had his calf/shin on Cam's helmet. On slow-mo replay, the guy put all of his weight on that leg on the side of Cam's helmet when he got up, his right foot came off the carpet.

 

Cam got up and had some words with the guyu and looked like he was going after him, but backed off.

 

Will this be looked at by the league? Possible fine? Or just forgotten about... until next year's first game.

I think that RR can request for the league to take a look, but after that asswhipping, he may just let it ride.

If the league wanted to send a message about this kind of stuff they'll suspend Suh for this weeks playoff game for stepping on Rodgers.

It's not like this is Suh's first time doing something like this.

But after seeing the league give Burfict a slap on the wrist for his antics when we played them, it's clear the league doesn't care too much about this stuff

[TheRed]

That definitely should have been a penalty, the defender held Newton's helmet down and twisted.

 

Suh should be suspended for a season after that stunt with Rodgers yesterday. He's been doing blatantly dirty poo like that for years.

i think the league will look into it...then come to the conclusion that the 34-3 shellacking was more than enough punishment for anyone to receive.

Pundits are hot about Suh stepping on Rodgers leg, but were only lukewarm about Berfict trying to rip Cam and Olsen's ankle off

I may be the only one but I'm not so sure suh did it on purpose. He didn't even look back. It was nothing like burfict and his ufc moves.

If he did it accidentally then wouldn't he look back to see what he stepped on? The first one might have been accidental but he knew very well what he was doing the second time.

Suh's step was most certainly on purpose.  Like ooglechi said, the first step could be an accident, but stepping back again, squarely on the ankle (as if the first step allowed him to locate the perfect spot to place the second step) and THEN putting all his weight on that foot to push off of?  That's intentional.  No question.

 

The falcon's knee could have been an accident.  He didn't look like he was going out of his way to put his knee on Cam's helmet and that leg was the natural one to put weight on to stand up.  I understand Cam's getting angry, it probably didn't feel good getting his head twisted around like that, but it wasn't a clearly intentional attempt to cause injury like what Suh did.

Anybody else, maybe. But we are talking about Donkey Kong Suh here. Dude has a history.

i dont think Suh did it intentionally either... unless he can see out his butthole how could he "target" the calf??

By finding the ankle (not calf) with his first step he knew where the ankle was going to be for the second.  If you were stepping backwards and stepped on something as big as someone's ankle, would you continue to keep stepping in that direction?  Highly unlikely.  The fact that he didn't react says even more it was intentional.  If someone steps on something they don't see they usually react to see what it was they stepped on.  Not so much if they already know what they're stepping on...

How'd he know it was an ankle?  From the feelers in his cleat?  His a$s eye saw it?

 

It coulda been anything... and he didnt step on the ankle... more like clipped it. 

 

The slow mo makes it look worse than it was.
