Lori Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Nasty, nasty shot which absolutely deserved both fine and suspension. Heck, that's even a charging penalty in hockey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeMonkey Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Deserved way more than a 1 game suspension in my opinion. Marshawn only had a gun in his trunk and got 3 games. Nobody got hurt. Smith was out like a light and got a concussion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kota Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 His actions after the hit actually bothered me more than the hit itself. It almost caused a brawl and then he tried to explain his actions on the sideline to his teammates. His teammates were even giving him crap for it. He tried to act like the innocent party. Â Hopefully his gamecheck is way more than 25,000 dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steely Dan Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 If he does have a clean record then I think it was just a stupid act before you think type thing. JMO. He deserves the suspension and fine but I wouldn't put him in the Rodney Harrison club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Far too light. Goodell should read this, then give him at least three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frit0 Bandit0 Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Considering a shot like that could end someones career. Â Being hat it was a blatant disregard of the rule and a premeditated act to injure....Why else would you take such a cheap shot at someone.... Â The owner should flat out cut this guy.

Numark Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I think he needs to be suspended 2-3 games. It his first offense from what I can tell, so that is what is really going for him. But that is one of the cheapest hardest hits I have ever seen. It was complete bull ****. I showed my fiance that who doesnt watch football and her reaction was "the other team needs to go after him." Â How bad is the punt returner out?

jtrip Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Did anyone see the hit on Trent. Why is no-one talking about this. The DE obviously and maliciously took him by the helmet and twisted his neck to thwe ground. This is how the concussion occurred and guarneteed a fine will be coming. FYI- I am not a Trent Fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD in CA Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Disappointingly light suspension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramius Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Disappointingly light suspension. Â You can bet it would have been a lot longer had Wesley laid the hit on a patsie*, colt, saint, or giant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramius Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 or Steeler.  On the other hand, he wouldn't have been suspended at all if he had laid out a Brown or a Bill.  The NFL is on a road to turning into the NBA. The NFL has always prided itself on teams, but now they are really touting the individual. (I find this highly amusing, seeing how they have taken so many steps to prevent the players from "individualizing" themselves with dances, celebrations, etc) Its getting to the point where certain individuals are above the rules, and are "more equal" than the rest of the players in the league. See, Manning, Brady, etc. They are the Jordan of the NFL now, where if anyone gets in their way of making a play, a flag is going to get tossed.

McBeane Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 What a pathetic punishment... I would love to hear Goodell defend him giving Marshawn 3 games after this garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeMonkey Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Can you imagine what the punishment would have been it Tom Terrific had been on the receiving end of that disgusting hit? Wesley would have been banned from the NFL for the next 3 lifetimes (just in case there really is reincarnation)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYI- I am not a Trent Fan Those guys are trained to go to the whistle. Which should have been blown as soon as Trents knees were down. But I do not believe was blown until Trent was turned into a pretzel. I blame the ref more than the Jets players. Should the DE have let up, yes definitely. But that was nothing compared to the hit that is being discussed in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
