Completely different situation.  

Yeah, those were both battery. Ibe's was a bang-bang football play.

Fair but at least from that angle that was a pretty clean hit. He was in front he didn’t go high. That was common place football. If we are gonna throw a towel in on that. I don’t have much hope for any toughness coming out of this team. 
 

I mean frankly the only tough guy we have on defense currently is Chinn. Past that turf toe and turf hand may be good but they ain’t tough. 

 

Although there may be some players who seem to play a little soft. It wouldn't even be close to being right. That football players ain't tough.

 

The vast majority of these guys are Alpha, I'll show you, Males. They play a physical game. A game where you are run all over if you aren't physical enough. They give no quarter, and they ask for none. For 3 hours every Sun., they grunt and groan, push and shove, tug and pull against other Alpha Males. All for our entertainment. 

 

You want tough, try getting out of bed after a long season.

 

And that is why the average career is still less than 4 years.

Had it been DJ Moore or CMC getting injured would we have the same reaction? 

Maybe not, but if the offender had been Horn we probably wouldn't have had the same outcome.

I really like Rhule but this and having players run laps for mistakes is very College football. 

I don't know how long that flies with NFL millionaires. 

 

Don't want to run, you may need to cut out the mental mistakes. We are trying to instill a culture where mistakes are not tolerated. We drafted/brought in smart football players. This reminds them to be smart.

 

Rhule is not going to stand for unnecessary penalties during the football game. This instills that behavior.

It looks like somebody else already has him wrapped up and he's going to the ground when this dude comes in to thump him.

Not the direction I was coming from on that but still very valid.

Turf hand? 

Burns. Remember? Broke his hand for no good reason punching the ground. 
 

That Irish boxer yesterday reminded me of that.

Very true.

Could have been that the players were specifically warned about this before the pads ever got put on and he went right and played outside the instructions given.  Rhule would have certainly been correct to have made an example of that

As fans, we know very little of this situation. After all is said and done. We just have to hope Rhule knows what he is doing.

 

Ibe won't be the last sacrificial lamb I tell ya what.

Rhule specifically said it wasn't bang bang. How the heck can anyone make a judgment from that useless video?

Agreed. We have WAY more invested in Horn and would try to coach him into keeping a level head. An undrafted rookie better be on his best behavior…
