Did Epenesa just earn himself the Jerry Hughes treatment?

Uh oh...looks like Epenesa got Hussey throwing a hussey fit with some extracurricular elbow action! (Great move by the way):wub:

 

My question is Jerry Hughes only bitched out a referee and forever was targeted, can we expect the same from here on out with young Epenesa? Did he just make his career that much more difficult? Discuss!

Possibly. Looked to me that AJ was moving Shaq out of the way, when Hussey pushed him, AJ had his back to Hussey, and stuck his elbow back and caught Hussey, who then lost the plot.

 

No doubt the NFL will side with the zebra, but imho, common sense should prevail, and Epenesa shouldn't be unduly punished, especially as he was trying to keep Shaq away from getting into it.

 

Imho, Hussey was a complete idiot in his actions. You don't go shoving NFL players around who can't see you, and expect no reaction.

 

Good referees don't get involved in that way in the first place, especially when the guy you are shoving, is trying to defuse the situation.

we won't hear about it, but I can see the league reprimanding Hussey in some form

Hussey is not a good referee. Wouldn't be surprised if he initiated contact from behind on purpose to draw a reaction.

Just watched the replay and you described it perfectly. AJ had no clue who was pushing him.  Hussey (Steve Carell) will never be a top ref.  And yes I'm sure he'll hold a grudge on AJ from here on out.
