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

[SteelersPride]

I think there was a lot of "acting" in the twisting there.. Really do. Looks to me like he was trying to "buy" the call like soccer players do....

Was Jones holding onto him, you betchaBurns is going one when then abruptly goes the other. How do

You explain that? Inertia and the human body dont work that way. But jones just happens to roll the way burns abruptly turns…

 

[Southieinnc]

AbsoluteLy. I have no issue with that part. Its the rolling of his ankle folks are questioning. Like when macs whole body rolls over..

Not sure I have ever seen a football game without someone rolling over while making a tackle.....

You can justify it however you like. It was still intentional

 

[NWPATSFAN]

It was a hold.

Mac goes about 215# and Burns goes 260#.

So were all those pre combine scouting pics just a falacy? Is Mac really a beast in the weight room?

Come on people think.

 

[Dude]

F*ck no. It was a play, clear fumble and the guy was like really far away from the play.

 

[Hank Kingsley]

I think it's a play Pete Rose would have made if he played football. Like running over Ray Fosse in the All Star game.

Charley Fucking Hustle.

I liked it.

 

[Schmoopy1000]

I liked the Soccer style flop
Maybe Burns is in the wrong sport.

 

[YankeeRebel]

Yes.

So tackling ??

 

[YankeeRebel]

My understanding was Jones thought he had recovered or was trying to recover the fumble to he was attempting to tackle him. I don't think it was dirty not sure it was a penalty. The league will look and decide I am unsure if Mack twisted or the LB twisted to break free,

 

[Breed]

The roll in reference to mac rolling, causing burns to roll.

Funny how burns is going one way then flips the other…

That does look worse than I thought it was. Jones was intent on putting that ankle in submission.

I think part of your response got caught up on the quote box so not exactly sure what you were asking.. But to me it appears He himself twisted trying to get out of the ankle hold by Jones

Duh! No he was looking for his keys and grabbed the guys foot that had just pasted him earlier in the play by mistake!

 

[HuskerPower52]

I don't think it was dirty, really ballsy, he is lucky that guy didn't kick his ass. That is how stupid injuries happen.

So my questions is burns is turning one way. Then after jones rolls , burns whole body abruptly turns the other direction. How does ones momentum change so quickly?

I have seen many times during a tackle and a hold on a foot, where the tackler lets go of him because he is worried about pulling too hard.......

Pain

Reaction to pain and I've seen players do that from time to time, mostly in soccer...

 

[YankeeRebel]

I have seen the video from four or five different angles and cannot definitively say it was a malicious act. The league stated there will not be a suspension so it must look that way to them as well. From what I read there could be a fine. If there is a fine and no suspension it seems it's been concluded there was no willful intent to harm.

And whats causing him pain?

Pain

The player twisting to get away. What is your point? If the league does not see it suspend able why do you? It appears there was no willful intent. Damn brah why so contrarian
