Garrett-season
Ogybog -2
Pouncey -2
Garrett should be gone for the season. And while I know they probably have to give Pouncey a game suspension, really he was only doing his job of protecting his QB.Originally Posted by Mojouw
Agreed. But I'm just trying to guess what random conclusion the NFL is gonna land on.
I understand.

Agreed but David Decastro had Garrett pinned on the ground and Pouncey was taking swings and kicking him (Garrett). Garrett was wielding that helmet as a weapon, he's in deep shit.

This is what I think too. I totally support Pouncey and DeCastro coming to his aid, but the NFL just isn't going to tolerate this kind of stuff. I think Garrett should be gone for life IMO. But I may be overreacting.
I didn't catch that. Well, it's a damn shame anyway you look at it.
They may throw a game Rudolphs way as well.
Array title="Shoes has a reputation beyond repute">
Could be, that has crossed my mind and probably will if Garrett is out for the season.
So Haynesworth got 5. Burfict got 12. So maybe the rest of the regular season?
Array title="Shoes has a reputation beyond repute">
The entire year for wielding a helmet as a weapon, absolutely.
IMO Myles was trying to drive Rudolph into the ground not just tackle him. What he did is un-defendable. He should be gone for the season but I will be surprised if he gets more than 3 games. I never trust the league to do the right thing. Maybe if there is enough outrage by the press we will see a bit more but again I just don't trust the league.

The helmet swinging will toast him. He would be in jail if it were on the street.
I hope you are right

DeCastro is the silent enforcer - when Burfict was at his peak DeCastro often had him on the ground
DeCastro being portrayed on NFL Network as trying to defuse situation by getting Garrett on ground to stop the brawl

Yes, I think you can see that clearly in the clips.

- Garret will get 2-4 games. It just depends on whether he's had run-ins before. I don't know. My guess is 2, but I hope four or more.
- Pouncey - 1 Game. Deservedly so. I was good with him throwing punches. You have to defend you man. But the minute he kicked, it went from a monetary judgment to suspension.
- Rudolph - No suspension. Monetary fine. 12k?? After all, he started the fight. (I know, he was tackled after the play, but then extended the issue thereafter. I don't blame him. In fact, I like seeing him a bit feisty like that and good for him. But he's still going to get fined for retaliating.
- Pittsburgh Steelers: for impersonating a football team.

What we watched was unprecedented, therefore at a minimum, Garrett gets the rest of the season. Possibly into next year. I think pouncey was okay until he kicked. Taking swings at a guy wearing a helmet it's just dumb, but the kick probably gets him 4 games. The DL that pushed Mason, maybe 1. The biggest BS part of that was his post game story that he was just backing up his teammate, when all he really did was push the QB down, stand over him and start his own scermish. Weak. Gotta give the biggest props to DeCastro for how he handled it. He just tried to separate the mess and simply took him to the ground after he swung the helmet. Then layed on top of him.
Might be a blessing for the Steelers.

Said that in the Gameday forum. He is lucky LE is not involved. Dude should be gone for the season at least!

Not comparable. Burfict has a long, LONG history. Haynesworth was suspended for conduct detrimental to the team (4 games) and that was after 3 fines for fighting from the NFL (2 in 09 and in 2010).
Garrett has three fines this year. None last year and none the year before. But, two of his fines were roughing the passer. I think that'll play somewhat into it. However, it is completely incomparable to Burfict and Haynesworth.
So, he took the QB down after the play was over (penalty) Then ripped his helmet off (penalty), and then used it as a weapon (third penalty). The first one will get him a fine. The second one a big fine. That third one is the multiplier. My heart says kick him out for the season. My analytical, Steelers-glasses-off side says 3-6 games.
I'll almost guarantee you he's gone for at least two so he doesn't play the Steelers again. But, my fear is they do the same with Pouncey to make sure.

Yep - There are two former player/talking heads on NFLNetwork postgame playing their role of setting up one side of the fake argument for TV by claiming the true villain is Rudolph for trying to take Garrett’s helmet off after all Garrett did was sack him
The potential wildcard is if Garrett decides to claim he was triggered by Rudolph calling him something awful (e.g. c***sucker, which will require the league office to act on the grounds there is no place for homophobia in the game)

He made the mistake of doing it in a nationally televised game rather than a 1 pm broadcast and having Troy Aikman say it is the worst thing he has ever seen, followed by national media piling on
IMO he gets six games which is the rest of the regular season
I mean if he called him something homophobic or racial, he's gonna catch a suspension.Yep - There are two former player/talking heads on NFLNetwork postgame playing their role of setting up one side of the fake argument for TV by claiming the true villain is Rudolph for trying to take Garrett’s helmet off after all Garrett did was sack him

Mason probably gets a fine. I'd say as much as the paycheck he should have forfeited anyway.
Array title="Craic has a reputation beyond repute">
That is true. Moreover, check out twitter, a few former and even a current NFL player or two are calling for his suspension. If that gains traction overnight, then Roger protects the shield. He's gone on an indefinite suspension, which means he'll be reinstated in the off season after counseling and consulting of some type.
Here's the thing....if Mason really said something really bad other than some cuss words, don't you think Garrett would have said something afterwards?
