Funny, said player being hit over the head with his own helmet was (A) the one who actually assaulted first (trying to rip off the helmet) and then (B) as the coward he is went after that same individual when that individual was being restrained by someone else. That said punk was the QB is...

Him filing charges would probably have lead to the defense minutely analysing the tape in court; which would clearly prove what kind of punk Rudolph was being, that HE was the one instigating the mess, and again fanning the flame when things seemed to cool down (leading to the swing with the...

Apologies... not clear in my response: If Garrett needs to get anger management counseling, then so should Pouncey and Rudolph.... Pouncey admitted to losing it (which is as bad or worse than what Garrett openly admitted to, depending on how you interpret Garrett's words. IMHO both Garrett and...

Rudolph's hand got stuck there deliberately, that is what.... when it was clear Rudolph was GRABBING Garrett's helmet. And not a word about Rudolph charging into Garrett after clearly first trying to wrestle Garrett's helmet off...

So should Rudolph and Pouncey.

Rudolph should be punished, and Pouncey should be punished harsher as well, attempting to head stomp. Garrett's suspension is correct though.

Well, I do think we do not see it (one hand holding the face mask, the other having the fingers wrapped around the bottom of the helmet in the back - which is what Rudolph did; so using TWO hands at the same time) regularly, even in a tackling. Especially since Garrett Rudolph go pretty much the...

Which clearly shows how much of an idiot Aikman is.... as there is clear visual evidence of Rudolph doing the complete opposite. But Aikman will find any excuse he can for misbehaviour of a QB on the field.

BTW, what Rudolph did does not happen in most games at all... and when it is anyone other than the QB doing it, it usually provokes condemnation from fans and media alike. But since it is a QB doing it, the way the incident escalated and QB's can do no wrong in the eyes of Aikman, Rudolph is...

The argument was that Garrett should not have lost his cool... and no word about Rudolph losing his cool, starting the incident and escalating it TWICE. The second one being a charge into Garrett who was already being restrained by De Castro.

Between Rudolph releasing the ball (losing touch) and him having a hold of Garrett's helmet is about two seconds... between him releasing the ball and him being on the ground is about a second.... so absolute BS. Rudolph being taken down was NOT long after the ball was gone. It is the type of...

What Rudolph did - TWICE - is NOT a regular occurrence on the field, including whatever happens in the scuffles. Rudolph could well have broken Garrett's neck while trying to rip of Garrett's helmet WITH TWO HANDS!

I have seen some people - in the comments on the Athletic - stating that somewhere before Garrett swung the helmet, and apart from Rudolph trying to rip Garrett's helmet off and twisting Garretts violently in the process, that Rudolph also kicked Garrett in the balls/nuts. BTW, I have seen no...

Look, Garret should not have swung the helmet... Mason had two chances to not let it get to this point: 1. Not trying to rip off Garrett's helmet with two hands, violently twisting Garrett's neck while Garret has already released him (or is releasing him) after a tackle. 2. Not charging at...

So Garrett should just have accepted Rudolph trying to rip his helmet off, and twisting Garrett's neck in the process... that is seems to be your opinion.

Explain to me how Garrett could work his way on top of Mason when he has already let go of Mason (his hands come off the back and are clearly released) at 1:30 into the video - with Rudolph only just sliding off top at that point), and Garrett's head is clearly the first thing that moves onto...

So Rudolph trying to rip off Garrett's helmet (and violently twisting Garrett's neck in the process) is NOT worthy of a penalty? WTF?

BTW, Rudolph stepping away with Garret draped all over him is part of the problem in the whole sequence. And Garrett having let go could actually have been more dangerous (for the knees) and - based on the past, might actually have drawn a flag...

THIS WAS NOT A LATE TACKLE by any reasonable stretch of the imagination.

Superbelt, I already used this video earlier in this very thread, pointing out the nonsense of the argument. - Garrett is NOT late. He does not even have to take an additional step to be able to hang off Rudolph before Rudolph has lost touch with the ball. In fact, he already has Rudolph in his...

You are absolutely hopeless.... ATLSteeler says that - as the game was over - Garrett should not have completed the tackle as at this point of the game the play was meaningless anyway. And he says the ball was clearly out. Well, first of all, the ball was not clearly out; to suggest that...

So if your opponent decides to rip off your helmet, using TWO hands and clearly twists the neck around (clearly visible on replay) you should not lose your shit? When you are being pushed away by a team-mate (who physically engages you, BTW) and said opponent actually charges you, you should...

ABSOLUTE BS.... there was no reason for Rudolph being in the game at that point, and these kinds of plays being called. The Steelers decided, with a game clearly lost - to turn this in a normal play, to which normal rules applied. And Garrett did the exact normal thing you see dozens if not...

And I have not seen anyone saying otherwise....

Seeing as Rudolph is clearly the one ripping off somebody's helmet first (after Garret has actually let him go!) initiating the brawl, and subsequently, when Garret is being pushed away (and seems to calm down) actually charges him when Garret is already engaged with De Castro, yeah, Rudolph...
