Garrett should get a year. 16 games. Assault charges should be filed through the authorities. Absolutely no place for that kind of shit. He could have killed the dude if he connected flush.
If that was Mahomes getting hit like that, there would be cries for NFL ban entirely. Just because its Mason Rudolph does not lessen the severity of what this dumbass did.
Pounceys suspension of 3 games is pretty severe given he was reacting to Garrett literally trying to kill his qb. [Reply]
These suspensions are reasonable. I'd definitely be fine with the authorities coming after Garrett for assault. I mean, JFC that is beyond the pale, even for professional sports.
Pouncey got a bit of a tough result, but kicking a guy's head isn't going to go well in the 2019 NFL, even if somewhat justified/understandable. [Reply]

Nah man, in baseball and hockey people get hit with objects all the time intentionally. Dudes punch each other in the face with fists etc...as well. You start down this road and it could get pretty dicey. [Reply]
In all from the NFL: — #Browns DE Myles Garrett suspended without pay indefinitely, at least the rest of the season. — #Steelers OL Maurkice Pouncey suspended 3 games and fined — #Browns DL Larry Ogunjobi suspended one game and fined. — Other players involved may be fined.
I think probably 10-12 games so that it extends into next season with conditions that he must comply with (anger management classes, etc.) for reinstatement. [Reply]
Browns fans are blowing up that Rudolph gets nothing. I think all the punishments were reasonable
Honestly, his reaction to the non-call for roughing the passer is kind of what started the whole thing. I think he should at least get fined for his role. [Reply]

Great QBs generally are smart enough to realize not to do stupid shit. The part that blows my mind is once he lost the helmet why is Rudolph going after Garrett? Is it because he has backup so it's 3 on 1? Either way it was really stupid when it would have been over long before the helmet swing. [Reply]
