Holy Shit Myles Garrett is About to Get Suspended
November 15th, 2019 at 3:55 AM ^
So are we going to say it was OK for Pouncey to kick Myles in the head? The Steelers are a shitty organization. They've been this way since Tomlin took over. Bradshaw was right, this guy is nothing but a cheerleader. All three should be suspended for the year. Rudolph is a bitch.
November 15th, 2019 at 8:53 AM ^
I honestly didn't have much problem with Pouncey's reaction. If Garrett actually lands that helmet swing, that could seriously injure Rudolph. Total bush league stuff by Garrett. I think we'd want our DL to defend our QB like that too if it happened to us
November 15th, 2019 at 4:56 AM ^
That in no way justifies what Garrett. Guys other players face masks all the time and it never leads to trying to beat them with their helmet.
Your inability to understand the fundamental difference is troubling. Your need to justify blatant assault is profoundly disturbing.
November 15th, 2019 at 9:17 AM ^
It all depends on where you start considering what is excessive. In a win when the guy grabs and throws you well after the play is excessive; Rudolph isn't a saint but I'd be pissed too. And so giving him some business isn't any more atypical or out of line for a football game. My guess is he was trying to yank his head around a bit, but he didn't get the helmet off and that's it. Then Garrett pulled his damn helmet off and, okay, escalation but still just two guys getting mad. Then you start swinging it around at people you lose the moral high ground you can claim.
Nobody said Rudolph is some class act here, and Pouncey is a piece of shit for kicking Garrett in the head. But people trying to defend Garrett like he was forced to start swinging a helmet around for self defense are wrong.
November 15th, 2019 at 9:16 AM ^
Let me help you out with this bruh. At first he was just trying to defend himself, and when Vontez, I mean Myles wouldn't let him up he started to go for the helmet.

Did someone hack your account? The tone of your posts has significantly changed since you started this account.

Rule #1 in football: Your helmet is not a weapon.
When you are wrong Cube, you are really, really wrong.
November 14th, 2019 at 11:59 PM ^
As he should. For many games. You can't hit a guy in the head with a helmet.
November 15th, 2019 at 12:09 AM ^
Especially after you ripped off said helmet from the quarterback.
November 15th, 2019 at 1:05 AM ^
Straight WWE shit right there. Vince McMahon may as well have come grabbed the mic. What, was there no metal folding chair Garrett could have grabbed to slam Rudolph's head with?
November 15th, 2019 at 1:44 AM ^
Lifetime NFL ban.
No joke. Take a stand Shield. You can reconsider in a few years. This is prison yard shit and can't be tolerated.
November 15th, 2019 at 7:13 AM ^
This dude probably watches hockey every night.
November 15th, 2019 at 9:12 PM ^
In hockey they don't hit each other over the head with sticks. (In the rare occasions that has happened, consequences are severe.)
November 15th, 2019 at 7:15 AM ^
I encourage you and everyone else to watch it again. Watch how Rudolph first yanks at Garrrett’s helmet and neck. After Garrett gets up Rudolph kicks him in the groin. Didn’t see the kick till my 5th + time watching.
Really hope someone in the National media talks about the dirty moves from Rudolph and Pouncey.
November 15th, 2019 at 7:22 AM ^
This whole thread within the thread is polarized for no reason. Rudolph, Garrett, and Pouncey all did wrong and all should have been penalized and ejected; with the more egregious violators (Garrett, Pouncey) getting further suspended.
Just because Garrett and Pouncey won the “biggest goon” competition doesn’t absolve Rudolph from his role.
November 15th, 2019 at 12:31 PM ^
your take on this is astonishing and ignorant. I think you're honestly just trolling.
November 15th, 2019 at 12:00 AM ^
He should be suspended for the rest of the year. And I would want Pouncey watching my back any day of the week. That is all.
November 15th, 2019 at 12:39 AM ^
What pouncey did was disgusting. How dare you condone him kicking a defenseless person in the head.
Order of offenders
1 pouncey
2 rudolph
3 Garrett
November 15th, 2019 at 12:41 AM ^
I’m not condoning it. I would want him in my corner if I was getting beat on, however.
November 15th, 2019 at 12:43 AM ^
LOL you're only saved from having the worst take of the thread by virtue of The Cube's presence.
Dudes with negative hundred million points living up to the bad, bad commentary. Pouncey should have drop-kicked Garrett's head through the uprights.
November 15th, 2019 at 1:01 AM ^
Here’s the facts and order of escalation.
1 Garrett pulls down rudolph a little late. Not even late enough for a flag.
2 rudolph starts twisting and pulling garretts helmet.
3 Garrett rips Rudolph’s helmet off and it’s him with it.
4 Garrett wrestled with some lineman and gets taken down
5 pouncey starts punching and then kicking a defenseless Garrett
if you get Garrett as the bad guy from that I can’t help you. Only thing I can guess if your mind was made up for you by the commentators or you hate OSU so much you have decided their professional teams are somehow also related
November 15th, 2019 at 2:04 AM ^
If you think punching someone with a helmet and facemask on is worse than swinging a helmet at someone's head who doesn't have a helmet on then we can't help you.
November 15th, 2019 at 5:14 AM ^
Pouncey was punching Garrett while they were both standing then ,punched him (and kicked him) when he went down in the crowd.You make ir seem like Pouncey was "kicking him while he was down" from the start
November 15th, 2019 at 1:00 AM ^
Such bullshit. Garrett tackles Rudolph late, keeps him pinned to the ground. Yeah Rudolph grabs his head, but only to get Garrett off him. Garrett hit Rudolph with his own helmet, meaning Rudolph wasn't wearing his. Frankly, Pouncey is the real hero here. And of course GARRETT WAS STILL WEARING HIS HELMET WHEN POUNCEY WENT AFTER HIM. And Pouncey's actions were only in reaction to Garrett being a dickbrain. I mean wtf? 8 seconds left. Your season started shitty but you won! Go celebrate with the fellas in the locker room then head out and get laid. You're a former #1 pick--you can easily make that happen! But...no. Now you have to spend weeks on the bench and answering endless variations of the question "How could you be such a dickbrain?"
November 15th, 2019 at 1:08 AM ^
First of all Myles Garrett Is one of the most intelligent members in the NFL. I assume you all know That but I haven’t seen it mentioned.
Anyway, how is pouncey a hero ? Coming in late to hit and then kick a defenseless guy who was previously taken down ?
Be honest...if Rudolph responds to the hit like a normal play and waits till Garrett gets off him and moves on, does any of this happen ? Of course not.
November 15th, 2019 at 1:20 AM ^
I'm not questioning Garrett's intelligence. I'm saying he was entirely in the wrong. More wrong than Rudolph and Pouncey.
November 15th, 2019 at 10:07 AM ^
OK, I will. Your team is about to win and the game is over. So you rough the opposing quarterback in obvious fashion, pin him to the ground for some extra business, then, after you’ve instigated the early stages of a brawl, rip the QB’s helmet off and try to stove his fuckin’ head in with it? Risking suspension, a potential ban, or even possibly criminal charges? Yeah, he’s a real Rhodes Scholar.
November 15th, 2019 at 2:10 AM ^
Exhibit A for intelligent people do stupid shit. His intelligence doesn't absolve him from suspension.
November 15th, 2019 at 5:53 AM ^
Intelligent ... right.
I'm sure after watching this play the Phi Beta Kappa people were asking themselves, "Wow - how did we miss out on this guy?"
November 15th, 2019 at 9:25 AM ^
No, Myles Garrett is an idiot.
November 15th, 2019 at 1:47 AM ^
I think Garrett gets at least 5 and thinking it will be 8-10 games. Pouncey 2-4 games. Rudolph 1 game. I am neither a Browns or Steelers fan. If Garrett hadn’t held onto and swung the helmet (increased suspension) and made contact (increased suspension even more) maybe there would have been no suspensions or at most 1 game. This is just a prediction of what the NFL will impose to make sure In the future no one uses a helmet in a fight.
November 15th, 2019 at 10:09 AM ^
The number of people who think it's ok to use a helmet in an on-field fight is precisely zero. Even Myles Garrett knows he did wrong there.
But there are a fair number of folks defending Pouncey. That decision's more interesting, and probably more consequential.
November 15th, 2019 at 10:46 AM ^
I think Garrett gets a one year ban. 2-4 games for Pouncey sounds about right.
November 15th, 2019 at 12:18 PM ^
change garrett to the rest of the year. otherwise agree with your take.
November 15th, 2019 at 12:02 AM ^
That should be a permanent ban and criminal charges. What an asshole
November 15th, 2019 at 12:03 AM ^
That’s not football. That’s assault.
November 15th, 2019 at 12:08 AM ^
Absolutely. I mean - it's not hyperbole to say that could kill someone.
Leave it to the Browns, of course, to win a game and then have this be the lead story.
November 15th, 2019 at 12:41 AM ^
Kill someone with the open end of a helmet ? How are people focusing on this and missing that POUNCEY KICKED A DEFENSELESS MAN IN THE HEAD.
November 15th, 2019 at 12:44 AM ^
He kicked at a helmet, he didn't weaponize a piece of equipment at a guy without a helmet.
November 15th, 2019 at 12:47 AM ^
Light kick to a helmet. He realized it was useless after one kick. Still not ideal.
garrett - season
pouncey - 1-2 games
rudolph - fine
thats my guess
November 15th, 2019 at 12:59 AM ^
Rudolph deserves a fine but I'll be surprised if he gets one; Aikman's "his hand was probably stuck" will be the party line. Pouncey might get a game but more likely just a fine. I don't see much media outrage at Pouncey, and it seems to me it's typically the level of media fuss that drives the eventual penalty.
November 15th, 2019 at 1:46 AM ^
Are you a browns fan?
November 15th, 2019 at 2:39 AM ^
Gucci Mane you must be out of your mind dude. One guy kicked a dude with a helmet still on. Another HIT a player in the HEAD with NO HELMET on. Getting kicked in the head with a helmet on is literally nothing for an NFL player. Getting tackled with a shoulder to the head hurts worse than being kicked in the helmet. I can’t believe you think what Pouncey did was worse. You make it sound like Garrett was being kicked repeatedly in the head on a street corner in street clothes. He got kicked in his helmet. Lineman get hit in the head often with their helmets on. What you don’t see happening very often is a dude who is a freak of nature with a ton of strength blasting a helmet into another guys head. That’s called assault. What Pouncey did is a football fine and suspension. What Garrett did could have seriously injured someone. I figured you of all people would understand this.
November 15th, 2019 at 2:45 AM ^
I was in a fight once and got punched in the back of my head with my helmet still on. Got a concussion from that. Didn’t even realize it till I got home and had a brutal headache. I think the adrenaline at the time made me not notice.
Point is, football helmets are not made to take punches or kicks to the top/back of the head without being prepared for it.
A punch to the face is much safer.
November 15th, 2019 at 5:21 AM ^
Hshaha, you are hilarious...and soft....
November 15th, 2019 at 8:09 AM ^
You're a disgrace. Should I write that in all caps so you get the point?
November 15th, 2019 at 12:59 AM ^
Overreaction much? NHL wouldn't exist since all the players would be in jail then with that attitude. This ain't even the worst thing to happen in the NFL. Haynesworth comes to mind.
November 15th, 2019 at 12:02 AM ^
See the Mayfield interview? He is going to get knifed in the shower. Very honest but that interview could be dangerous for him.
November 15th, 2019 at 12:09 AM ^
As a Steelers fan, tell me what you really think?
November 15th, 2019 at 12:33 AM ^
Clearly Mayfield didnt get the facts presented to him by Browns fans as they have deemed it totally acceptable, in fact Rudolph should be suspended multiple games.
