Yup, it’s a gladiator sport, and don’t forget, figuratively, that’s what they pay him for, now if Epenesa can knock WFTs QB out of the game in the 1st quarter, sans the broken bones,(ideally) the words Epenesa and Fear will then always be used in the same sentence…, 😁👍 Go Bills!!!

No, not his biggest or best, but probably Top 10 for @Gugny. The good news is, he likes his dog a little more than the idea of a new kayak.

Chandler#81 Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 It’s Thursday. Is Epenesa suspended yet? WTF is taking the League so long? Heavier fine? Expulsion? Criminal charges?? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expulsion? Criminal charges?? I'm thinking he's going to go unpunished. But to someone's point earlier in the conversation, I'm sure refs will be keeping an eye on him. Hopefully, he cleans his act up and doesn't end up hurting the team - or any other QBs. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing is going to happen to him because he played completely clean. It’s not his fault that Tua is fragile. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the refs know they missed a call, but it would be egg on their face to admit it and they don't really have to because it wasn't egregious. But this could very well give Empenesa a bad reputation that will cause the refs to key in on him and be more "trigger happy," when it comes to throwing flags. That would hurt the team. But if he can go 3-4 weeks without roughing a passer, hopefully this all just goes away. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we have a difference of opinion, which is perfectly OK; I'm not sure how it can be speculated that the refs know they missed a call, unless that was reported somewhere. I don't think a bad reputation can be acquired from delivering a clean, hard, football hit - but we'll see 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t lose track of where you put your sword 🗡 also you should bear in mind this is as I said earlier, a gladiator sport, and purposefully so, another point is that tiny Tua is fragile, look at his recent history, broken hip/pelvis, broken wrist, broken ankle, I mean christ, that’s just the last three or four years, the kid’s skeletal structure is made of saltine crackers, what the hell else would one expect to happen when. A tiny man is tackled by a large man in a full contact sport??? It’s physics, you know, large body hit small body…, oh and sharpen your sword, it will be less painful that way, 😁👍 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avoid anything below the thighs. CHECK. Don't land on the QB and break your fall so the QB doesn't get hurt. CHECK. The rib area is still allowed and actually encouraged as an area where you should deliver such a blow. Sometimes clean hard hits result in injuries. In fact, sometimes you see non-contact injuries. These are all just part of the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
