"We're not dirty... When I think of dirty, I think of stepping on somebody's ankle at the bottom of a pile (or) twisting somebody around. Stuff like that. We just play hard, man. We hit hard. We play fast. We play faster than any defense in the league. Just because we hit Cam in the head a couple of times, that doesn't make us dirty. Look at some of the dirty plays in the league. There are a lot of dirty players, and that's not our M.O."

I say fug you. Enjoy your fine.

Jeffrey Dahmer says he's not a cannibal.     Just because he ate pieces of human beings does not mean he's a cannibal.       If you look at some of the more ancient tribes of the world...  they would eat a person,  whole,  and then use the bones as tools.

I do.

I'm not sure Marshall does.

Fair.  I'm not defending him / them - that was a dirty game plan that resulted in dirty plays that I'm still fuming over.  I'm more just saying it's not at all surprising that the team doing the dirty things would deny they were dirty. Same as everyone else...not surprised.

eric smith of the jets broke anquan boldins jaw on this play a few years ago by launching himself head first at boldins head. Smith was fined $50,000 and suspended one game. 

At minimum, that is what Marshall should receive. The plays are eerily similar only, thankfully, Cam didn't have his jaw broken. 

This was also before the concussion issue was brought into the national spotlight.

Remember that time as a kid you got caught breaking some rules in your house and when your parents called you on it you immediately fessed up and took your lumps instead of denying you did it?  Anyone?

My 7 year old daughter was taking a shower last night. Told her to wash her body and whatnot, she calls that she's done so I can come help her wash her hair. I get in there and see that her loofah sponge thing is still hanging up dry. So I call her on it and instead of admitting it, she starts arguing with me saying she really did wash her body. Eventually she changed it to saying she didn't know how -she does- and that she thought I'd be mad she didn't so that's why she lied.

Marshall is acting like my 7 yr old daughter. He's a little girl.

The problem is that lying and minimizing the issue doesnt hurt him in any way and might help his case so of course he is going to minimize. What does he have to lose by minimizing and defending himself? 

Like your child lying to you about something.  If they get away with the lie 50% of the time and when they are caught the consequence is the same whether they lie or not, then why wouldnt they lie if they dont have well developed ethics? There has to be a consequence for the lying separate from the offense or it encourages lying since it doesnt cost anything to do it.

 

In Marshall's case he has nothing to lose and everything to gain by doing what he does.  Until he is found guilty there is absolutely no reason for him to act remorseful before the fine or suspension which assumes guilt and afterwards he intends to appeal it anyway so of course he is going to deny and minimize it.

Well he's acting like a child. Girls don't own that kind of behavior all by themselves :P

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
