NGT: Myles Garrett goes crazy...suspensions inbound

allstarjim : 11/14/2019 11:51 pm
This is going to be a big story in the morning. For those of you who did not stay up late, Garrett ripped the helmet off of Mason Rudolph and swung it at him, connecting with Rudolph's head. Rudolph seems fine, but the act itself was incredibly dangerous and Garrett might have an unprecedented suspension coming his way. Possibly season ending.

And Pouncey, although I can't blame him, went nuts on Garrett with punches and kicked him in the head and neck area while he was pinned. All of this and there was :08 seconds left in the game.

And these two teams play again in two weeks.

This is the most Browns thing ever. The defense just played a great game, Mayfield was good, they ran the ball well, and physically beat a division rival they hadn't beaten in what, 5 years I think Joe Buck said? They get a huge win, the game is ending, and their best defensive player puts himself in a situation where he may not play again this season.

This is worse than Haynesworth.

Amazing how far folks will go to excuse athletes for anything. Because you know if your hand is "stuck" in a helmet the only course of action is to twist the mans neck while dragging him across the ground. And it only follows that the frustration from that situation will cause one to swing a helmet at an unprotected head.

There were two situations were Garret could have caused a critical injury. He should be facing assault charges and getting a 16 game suspension starting now.

If he slammed Garrett to the ground like DeCastro or threw a couple punches, then I can see that. He went way beyond any rational "protection" of his QB though and I think at one point after starting to walk away he comes back and starts kicking him again.

I'm not absolving Garrett at all, he's a scumbag for swinging the helmet for ANY reason. However, there were several head shots that were nearly as bad by the Browns (including a Helmet to head that drew blood), and there's no way Kitchens does not see that. He needed to call a time out and take control of his team.

Like it or not, the Head Coach is responsible for the behavior of his players during the game. There's a reason for that, because the game is violent enough as it is in terms of injury. You can't have gladiator games out there, the NFL would be shut down if that happened, and they know this.

If you, as a head coach, can't control your players, you need to be fired. We talked about this on BBI with Coughlin not pulling out OBJ when he went after Norman years ago.

A single punch is an auto ejection and if you had any sort of history of late hits/unnecessary roughness, it would likely also draw a suspension. Multiple punches and kicks? Has to be at least a couple games.

Bingo, that is the first thing I thought, you can break a guys neck like that, especially a 300 lb man against a completely immobilized Garrett. Both guys should be suspended for the season.

Garrett  
Lines of Scrimmage : 11/15/2019 10:40 am : link
should receive at least a rest of the season suspension and the league should act quickly.

Pouncey will get one as well but far less. For those questioning him, try to think about the mindset of a OL regarding his QB. Protect.

From a young age the QB right or wrong is looked at differently when it comes to contact. They wear a red shirt in practice, some think coddled with rules favoring them but to a OL protecting him is sacred imv.

Looking at the replay Pouncey seems to lose it when Garrett swung helmet. If he didn't I think he just would have shoved him.
Not sure if I'm entirely sure if I'm on

Sammo85 : 11/15/2019 11:23 am : link
for any job as HC or DC here. His defenders are a bit of a volatile bunch.

Garrett has been somewhat unhinged this year. He’s had some flagrant physical play that’s been clear and not disciplined. He’s gotten a lot of fouls and penalties called and some have been the judgement type but he’s basically now gone out and tried to hurt quarterbacks three times this year.
I think Garrett should get suspended a full 16 games.  
Someguy1978 : 11/15/2019 11:25 am : link
He appeals and has it reduced to 12 games.

Pouncey gets four games, appeals and has it reduced to two games.


There is no excuses for Garrett's behavior or actions. He could have caused a serious injury. I think the league makes an example out of him.

Pouncey's past doesn't help him, which I why I think he gets the four games, but gets reduced to two through appeal.

My money would be on Pouncey

Joey in VA : 11/15/2019 11:37 am : link
The point in defending anyone here or tallying up the gravity of the events to prove who was more or most at fault. Rudolph was dumb, Pouncey acted with malice, Garret acted with malice. All three carry blame all should be punished. Perhaps not equally but the defense of any of these idiotic actions seems pointless. All were to blame, all acted foolishly and dangerously. A spike on Rudolph's cleats could easily clip an artery on Garret's leg and kill him in minutes. These are big powerful humans wearing protective gear that when used as a weapon can be deadly. They were all reckless and dangerous actions, some more obvious but when, as Bill2 correctly noted, you look closer all of these things are incredibly dangerous.
How is Rudolph instigating?????  
twostepgiants : 11/15/2019 11:38 am : link
Garrett intentionally and blatantly roughed the passer and twisted him
And threw him on ground in what should have been an obvious penalty

Garrett was still on top of him when Rudolph even did anything to him

Then Garrett violently rips his helmet off him in what could have badly injured him

Then swings it and connects at his head

Rudolph is a victim here 100%

Garrett never should have still been on top of him at that point of the play.

I only saw Pouncy try and kick him once. I am not sure he is do a suspension. If it is it is 1-2 games. Still think that Garrett has to go for a long while.

There is a difference between "attempt" if that was even that and actually ripping a helmet off and actually using it as a weapon and hitting an unprotected player with it.

Big difference between the two

Garrett is a 6-4 270 lb human being who aggressively threw him to ground and should be penalized and continued to remain on top of him long after play

Rudolph has a right to get him off him and in the 1-2 seconds his hand touched Garretts helmet, withGarrett on top f him and Rudolph pinned on ground, im not sure I would describe that as an attempt to rip his helmst off.



Nice little troll job there by the league,

Once again... ACCURATELY describing the events doesn't lessen the egregious nature of Garrett's actions. If people aren't interested in accurately describing what happened, then they're probably more interested in narratives than the truth.
What Rudolph did warranted a penalty flag

not a suspension.
Rudolph should get an insubstantial fine  
Mike in ramapo college : 11/15/2019 12:16 pm : link
what he did was not suspension worthy.

I think the NFL got this right for once, even though I would have given Pouncey 1 (and could justify 2) based on how the NFL has treated fights in the past. His reputation didn't help him though.

Re: Pouncey
1. As you allude to he has a rep for this
2. Past "fights" typically involve 1-2 punches that may or may not connect. He threw at least half a dozen haymakers at a guy who was pinned to the ground, then got up and proceeded to kick him in the helmet.
Plus the magnitude of the entire fight  
giants#1 : 11/15/2019 12:25 pm : link
was always going to increase the resulting penalties. If Ogunchi(sp?) did that after say an INT, he gets ejected and likely a hefty fine. Doubt he would get a suspension for that hit normally (unless he has a past I'm missing).
Half a dozen "Haymakers"?

Pouncey's kick  
KWALL2 : 11/15/2019 12:35 pm : link
was a fade away kick with very little force. I can't believe he got 3 games. He overreacted after his QB was assaulted like we've never seen on a field before. Maybe one game for the kick.

The other guy? Should get more than Burficts 12 games.

Should have arrested his ass too.

If a guy hits a coworker like that hes in cuffs and in jail. Playing football shouldn't be a factor. He should have been arrested.

Blue21 : 11/15/2019 2:00 pm : link
the passer to begin with. I don't blame Rudolph being upset at all. Pouncey was probably ok until the kick to the helmet.
He certainly gets something for that. But the Garrett actions were way over the top from the initial hit on Rudolph. He most certainly was trying to cause serious injury.

Odell had a running start and bashed someone unsuspecting. The force could’ve crippled him. There’s no place for both of these actions, and same goes for pitchers beaning hitters with 100 mph heaters intentionally
Myles Garrett Goes Crazy......  
johnboyw : 11/16/2019 6:24 am : link
Myles Garrett proved that he is nothing more than another street punk who happens to play football. A disgrace to the league and to all the great players who respected the league when they played. Should draw a minimum suspension of one year.
Hats off to Pouncey and DeCastro for coming to the aid of their QB and kicking the shit out of him. He got exactly what he deserved.
