That would be a pretty light sentence and I think it will depend on what was said to him in the scrum.

I saw on ESPN the last player to hit another by swi going a helmet got 3 games. I think that was 2012, I'm looking for it now.

I think he only gets fined, but that was more than just a push. I just think it's funny he was a Tough guy hitting the back of a QB then tucked tail when 71 stepped in.

Not sure about that. He ripped the helmet off, took a backswing, and came back down on the guys head. That is fucked up on so many levels.

The more I see it the more I don't think Rudolph should be let off the hook here. The tackle may have been too much but he's the QB and needs to have more composure than that. That doesn't excuse Garrett but Rudolph needed to chill a bit. Just looked too tantrum-y

I agree, Rudolph isn't simply an innocent bystander. His hands are dirty too, and he should have used the ole "No Comment" speech post game.

I was looking to record the game this Sunday about an hour ago, gods honest truth.

guess I dont have to waste 3 hours on Sunday night watching us lose to the clowns now.

Thanks to the NFL for TNF, its saved me 3 hours this week.

OK, I found the 3 game suspension for swinging a helmet as a weapon

Antonio Smith got 3 games for swinging a helmet at Richie Incognito. 3 games were the final 2 preseason games ( I doubt he was playing games 4 anyway) and the 1st game on the season.

I fully believe that if the league says 6 games they will appeal and use this as league precedence.

Mason started it, dipshit Garrett took it way too far. Pouncey should’ve stomped his teeth down his throat

It was a shit show. Cleveland played well for most of the first half but kepr shooting itself in the foot in the second. The Steelers were just too inept on offense to take advantage.

I imagine he will too but this being on national TV might be a kicker. Fair or not the NFL is all about optics.

Baker 4/10 to obj

13/19 to other targets

Might have been a good idea for OBJ to practice this off-season

I had my whole game riding on Connor and Juju. How bad is Connor hurt?

True, and they are acting like they care more about their image now. Problem is they set the 3 game precedence and a good lawyer could make it the base for discipline.

Judge Fudge · Nov 15, 2019

He was probably trying to put Rudolph helmet back on him.

I see no problem with this

Johnson V Finnegan?

I could look this up, but I'm lazy.

I ask needless questions some times.

Also, has Hookem not been involved in this thread?

Stakesarehigh · Nov 15, 2019

For the sake of being repetitive I'd much rather Myles swing a helmet at me than get hit with his fist. A DB.....sure. Myles? Give me the helmet to the dome

Are you pussies all out of tears yet? Grow a fucking pair, you're embarrassing yourselves. Things happen in fights, deal with it. jesus

Look at what happens tho...He is being forced back by three players including the QB who charged him...He was just defending himself against 3 guys

If those guys never charged him, they don't get hit with the helmet, simple as that

Charging toward someone is not assault. Hitting them in the defenseless head with a helmet swung in full arc, IS. That is FACT.
It is obvious someone hit you several times in the head with a helmet in order for you to come to your idiotic opinions.

One could also argue MG had no reason to tackle Rudolph the way he did because the football was well out of his hand. So to say Rudolph started this is wrong.

Actually the ball was not - less than two steps taken by Garrett between release of the ball and him tackling Rudolph. The tackle is not vicious or hard at all. In fact, it is the type of play we see regularly in games, without any flags (even if Brady is tackled). And the occasions it draws a flag, it is questioned even by the likes of Aikman.

It doesn't matter who it is...Don't charge someone like that if you don't want to get hit...How did he know he wasn't about to attack him...Why was he charging him?

Victim blaming.

Idiot.
