Mac Jones play... was it "Dirty?"

[redseat]

Panthers LB calls out Pats' Jones for 'dirty' play

 

[redseat]

Never saw it live as I didn't see game and the only clip I could find is that pretty weak twitter one that cuts off

Answer is no. Its not "dirty"
Chop blocks are "dirty."
Leg whips are "dirty"

This was kinda funny.

Does appear the Panthers player "twisted" himself trying to draw a flag

as far as I know (could be wrong) I dont think you can have a holding call during a fumble

I don't think so at all... He wanted a personal foul I believe

 

[bksballer89]

Yes

was he afraid he was gonna get put in a Kurt Angle hold

The way I just read the definition of "Holding", it doesn't matter if you deem Jones an Offensive or Defensive player at that moment: what he did easily meets the definition and should have been flagged.

 

[Golden Spur]

Yes.

 

[Schmoopy1000]

Wait? whats that? The Kickers Music!!!!
Oh no here comes the kicker with a Chair!!!!! Ring the bell ref.
Oh Man! The Carnage!!!

during a typical fumble. People are literally tackling each other. Kinda like when a ball is tipped. there is no PI no matter how obvious.

I see him greatly twist his leg at the end, holding his leg no issue. Yes dirty as can be.

Watched it many times watch jones shoulders they both quickly whip in unison at the end. That doesnt happen if its the defensive player twisting away . Both shoulders dont move in unison,

Worthy of a holding call? Probably

But dirty? No, and Burns comes off as a whiny bitch.

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

Dirty may not be the right word, but it seems like something that could have been flagged.

 

[redseat]

Just heard there was "bad" blood between these two going back to high school

 

[BigKen]

Payback for a brutal sack earlier.

Burns tried to twist himself away and did his own damage. Instead of carting him off, they let him lean on a trainer and hop, skip, jump off.

It was a "hold", if anything. No personal foul.

Saw a tape after the game of them in high school and Burns whacked him like he did today.

Only difference? Burns was the one limping off the field.
