It was definitely a heat of the moment situation but sometimes you gotta be smarter than that. Especially when it comes to hitting a man in the head with a football helmet with all of your force.
I agree 100% what he did was plain dumb. But it still warrant a hard stance by the league.

For what it's worth I feel the apology I read was from the heart.

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

He's definitely sorry for what he did, I got no doubt about that. The unfortunate part of this from Garrett's standpoint is that this will be the story of the Browns season next year. Garrett redeeming himself and how can he change to help the Browns in 2020.

Could well be, he needs to prove he can play with controlled emotion at this point. I think O-Linemen may test that.

I'm seeing that many on here think that Mason Rudolph got what he asked for. I wonder if people share the same opinion about Donald Brashear after that hockey stick shot to the head from Marty McSorley.
Kind of did get what he asked for which, really, wasn't much. Had he hit him hard with hard part of helment that's another story.

Not excusing Garrett as that is what he tried to do.

He's a smart dude. He likes to write and what not. He's not the type that you would expect that would do this

You're showing me one?

Still the same thing applies..."few, if any".

This was your exact comment - "Garrett's appeal camp can't really go back and say "this guy got 4 games, or that guy got 5 games for doing the same thing."

In fact they can say "this guy got 3 games and 2 were preseason."

Correct....happened one time and punishment was 3 games. 2 of those games were preseason. Garrett gets 6 plus possible postseason and into next year?

My point remains...that one occurrence was not going to influence RG when this was a national TV game in primetime against a QB.

I hear ya, but not apples to apples.

The act of swinging the helmet is bad enough. The fact he made contact with Mason's head was just the cherry on top of the shitty decision sundae.

but this was your point and you were wrong - "Garrett's appeal camp can't really go back and say "this guy got 4 games, or that guy got 5 games for doing the same thing."

In fact they can say "this guy got 3 games and 2 were preseason."...for doing the same thing. Well worse, as Incognito was hit in the face with the hardest part of the helmet. Rudolph was hit with the facemask.

That man was trying to take his head off at the time. I'll allow it.
Pretty sure his head was not in danger of coming off..

Jesus what is with all the over exaggeration in this thread.
