There is no way this could be considered assault on the part of Myles Garret, it was Rudolph that kept going after Garrett. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randomguy Posted November 17, 2019 Share #212 Posted November 17, 2019 Here is how the half-wit saw it: By Steve Doerschuk CantonRep.com sports writer @sdoerschukREP Posted Nov 15, 2019 at 2:40 AM “I thought it was cowardly and bush league.” CLEVELAND — Whether Mason Rudolph was an innocent in the shocking conclusion to the Browns’ 21-7 rout of Pittsburgh is subject to interpretation. One interpretation after watching repeated replays: Rudolph was far from innocent. Rudolph’s takeaway painted Garrett as the bad guy. Period. “I thought it was cowardly and bush league,” the Pittsburgh quarterback said in the locker room afterward. “There is plenty of tape out there to watch. I haven’t see it yet.” Related content Myles Garrett’s helmet swing at Mason Rudolph’s head overshadows big Browns win, embarrasses franchise November 14, 2019 Here is one interpretation after multiple viewings of “the tape.” The game was decided but the Steelers elected to run a play from their own 17-yard line with 14 seconds left. Rudolph had been nailed for long sacks by Larry Ogunjobi and Joe Schobert to put the Steelers in a third and 29. It arguably was pointless to keep running plays, but Rudolph threw a short pass to Trey Edmunds for 11 yards. Garrett hit Rudolph as the pass left his hand, and the two of them fell to the ground near the end zone opposite the Dawg Pound. Garrett was on top of Rudolph, who applied a hard grip to the defensive end’s helmet and began twisting. Garrett’s helmet turned so that part of it covered his face. As Garrett stood up, Rudolph’s leg swung toward Garrett’s groin; a still photograph circulating online showed Rudolph’s right spike lodged in the groin area. Garrett tore at Rudolph’s helmet and dislodged it from his head. The two became separated, but Rudolph made a charge at Garrett with another player between them. Garrett responded to the charge by striking the quarterback on the top of his unprotected head. Rudolph detailed his version of the sequence. “I got sacked,” he said. “We exchanged some words. He kept keeping on and one thing led to another. You can go back and watch tape if you want and make your own assumptions.” Steelers cornerback Joe Haden, who spent seven years with the Browns, said, “Myles is a good dude, you know? I mean, I’ve never seen him act like that or do anything like that, but that’s not OK.” Steelers center Maurkice Pouncey said Garrett should be suspended for the rest of the year. “Absolutely, 100 percent,” Pouncey said. “We will see how serious the NFL is about their players.” Another question: How seriously will the NFL take the Pittsburgh quarterback’s provoking role?

As a nation we are in deep trouble. Like the one in Santa Clara last week that nobody has heard about? Schools have become “school-raq” where it’s just how we do. Our strategic plan to keep students safe now is to run, barricade, and fight back with anything we can get our hands on. In some districts, teachers can shoot back. But to the point of the original discussion, Rudolph made the inciting injury. Garret forgot how to walk away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, Rudolph had the ball when Garrett wrapped up, and there wasn’t a way for him to see that Rudolph got rid of the ball. Bringing him to the ground was a football play, Rudolph just didn’t like it. Maybe he thought that Garrett should find a mattress to put him on first. With the game locked up and less than 20 seconds left on the clock, the Steelers really should have just knelt to run the clock out. Maybe Tomlin deserves some blame for not calling the realistic and obvious play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a personal foul to throw a quarterback to the ground and then land on him. A rushing defender is prohibited from committing such intimidating and punishing acts as “stuffing” a passer into the ground or unnecessarily wrestling or driving him down after the passer has thrown the ball, even if the rusher makes his initial contact with the passer within the one-step limitation provided for in (a) above. When tackling a passer who is in a defenseless posture (e.g., during or just after throwing a pass), a defensive player must not unnecessarily or violently throw him down or land on top of him with all or most of the defender’s weight. Instead, the defensive player must strive to wrap up the passer with the defensive player’s arms and not land on the passer with all or most of his body weight.

Ahem, I feel you must be reminded that Rudolph was trying as hard as he could to pull Garrett’s helmet off, which fully excuses Garrett pulling Rudolph’s helmet off. Then they were separated, with Garrett walking well away, but that is when the hatless half-wit kept coming after Garrett in a violent-as-he-could-manage way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bah, you saw that, Rudolph triggered Garrett with his own unchecked anger. My psychological assessment is transferrence rage, Rudolph's defense mechanisms are not strong enough to cope with his own shortcomings, so he needs to invent a scenario where someone else is causing the problems, not himself. Rudolph conveniently forgets he started, exacerbated, continued, and escalates the whole thing, it simply doesn't exist without him. Anyway, special circumstances. Anyone can see a situation where, if in the same situation, some raging lunatic just keeps coming at you, so what do you do? I think most times, Garrett, although filled with good reason for pissiness, finds ways to get out of the situation. This time he didn't. You can only stick your head in the crocodile's mouth so many times before it snaps shut on the idiot, and that is what happened. I agree that two to three games is plenty, considering that Rudolph developed this whole thing from his overwraught mind and horrible actions. The only thing Rudolph DIDN'T try to do first was getting hit on his head, although he sure as shit went after Garrett as hard as he could. Contributory to a massive degree.
