I would of suspended for the rest of the season with parole. He literally hit the QB with a forearm to the head. The NFL wants these hits out of the game so they needed to send a strong message to NOT do that kind of s*it, he could of ended Trevor's career of football.
Guys like Saturday always try to say the "right things". Please provide actual Physics concepts where you can be moving full speed and somehow pull off in a split second?? These fools follow the crowd and are spineless for agreeing. Then we have people complaining when defenders allow Mahomes to do what they want. Saturday go cry and go suck on Manning like usual
Should be suspended indefinitely …got off lightly. Dirty player…. if he were a normal person he would be a criminal for sure…. just another thug. 😂😂😂😂😂
I'm a Jag's fan from game one, season one.. That's my quarterback man. I agree with how team came to Trevor's defense. I believe the league got it right. I don't think he should be put in prison publicly whipped like some people. I read his apology. Can't dismiss it but can't let this go unpunished..
good
I didn’t even have to watch the entire video to know the black guy was going to disagree and try to fight it. You could just tell by his body language when Mike was reading the letter, he was all defiant. Once the word sportsmanship was mentioned, he leans forward in his chair and buttons his jacket like he’s really going to conceive people that the hit was justified.
How to get suspended for playing a game, people pay to see plays like this. They should just Ban football at this point
His past behaviors don’t make this a dirty hit period. Trevor slid late. How many former players have came out and said it wasn’t dirty and 3 games suspended is absurd
Al shair go f youserl glad we trade this durty man from titans really really a bad player
Reasonable suspension
Bro, this was LAST incident whatsoever that you want to lay down a case for defensive players, Saturday is totally right… this was WAY beyond and using this particular situation to voice your position, ain’t the place, even though there’s plenty to say on it. This is about the truly DIRTY PLAYER. Don’t plant your flag anywhere near him, it doesn’t look good…
THE GUY IS A DIRTY PLAYER, REMINDED ME OF VONTAZE BURFICT. NICK CASERIO STATEMENT THAT AL-SHAIIR EMBODIES THE TEAM PLAY AND DEFENDING THE GUY TELLS YOU ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THIS GEN MANAGER.
The whole “he slid late” or “fake slide” narrative has got to stop. He did not slide late he slid 5 yards in front of Azeez, Azeez continued to lead with his helmet and drive his elbow into him.
And since when has the NFL ever had a fake slide problem? No one in the NFL fake slides and there was no fake slide attempt here.
Wait football is supposed to be safe?
It’s at the first down market who expect him to slide in that moment, plus it’s a split of a second
Overreaction because of all of the hate the linebacker was receiving by crazy people in social media. The NFL is a POS.
Good hit!
Dirtiest player in NFL ends the season of Star QB and only gets 3 game suspension. Black privilege strikes again..
Dominique Foxworthy needs to get off this show.
You gotta get this guy off of ESPN because he's totally wrong
If that happened to mahomes he would get the death penalty and chiefs automatically win the superbowl
The NFL should create a rule say that QB's should slide 5 yards from a defender or else they are considered a running back
Also applys for running out of bounds.
Everything Foxworth says hes contradicts right away.
3 games!!!!!! That's all????
Shame on you, Dominique! That forearm smash was a deliberate attempt to injure the opposing player! I understand momentum and all but he made zero attempt to avoid the QB who had already started his slide. He launched into him late, on purpose.
NFL is Soft and becoming a joke!
Now the Texans need to lose and miss the playoffs
jack tatum would have been syspended all the time.
He was suppose to tackle him. Run the ball get hit. Stop babysitting the QB.
Rare take where Fox just missed it … seemingly on purpose … straight ignorant
Divas with the $ protection
Make a new rule QB'S cant run the ball past the line of scrimmage problem solved
It was absolutely a dirty play. He led with his forearm. Three games is not enough.
Qbs need to learn how to protect themselves, rex Ryan explained it great on their show
If players are getting fine and injured, if qb step across the line of scrimmage they should be treated like a running back , and if they do the slid or give up passing the line of scrimmage they should be penalized with a 5 yard penalty It would protect the qbs prevent injuries and it wouldnt hinder the defense even more with just playing tackle football, get this play completely out of the game , easy fix
BullS$%T
It was kinda late slide, I hate late hits but I’m not sure he gave himself up in time.
Here's a fair rule. If the QB decides to run the ball then he can be hit as a RB. It will cut down on the bs running fakes across the league. Defensive players CANNOT stop on a dime when committing to a tackle. QBs are starting to sacrifice themselves to pickup penalties. The refs can get more strict with calls for targeting, head, etc. So this change would be fair for the defense having to walk on eggshells when near a QB. The way it’s setup now is an advantage for the offense.
Its very easy to not play dirty just dont be ignorant simple effective an u might feel better about urself just a thot
I thought it was football
The black dude talking is a moron
I thought that was his job. I bet it’s was the same scenario vice versa with a White player doing the tackling, he would not have been suspended, pure and simple.
U don't need to kick him out the league either…he'll be out soon enough
Throw em out the league. That’ll send the right message. You can’t play the game right-you don’t play the game at all. Simple.
Cheap Shot Ronnie Lott? LOL😂 He’s the last person i would trust with handing out punishment for dirty play!
Repeated violations mean when he was hitting black QBs they looked the other way until he hit a white QB and all these hypocrites are shouting, why didn't they shout when the other violations were going on.
