GAME DAY MNF Doubleheader - Browns at Steelers 8:15 ET

[Faceplant]

There is just no need to go low in that situation. And having seen the replay I can't say he went low on accident. He goes low from the get go and there is absolutely no need to do that. I agree can't tell intent from a play but the actions he took are dirty as fuck even if they are by accident. But this is a normally good player and a veteran who should know better than to dive at a guys knee at all especially from the side. It's to me a garbage play that could have been avoided.

Agreed. There is no reason to go low and at the knee on a player at any time, much less when he is engaged.. There could be a fine and/or suspension for this. Then again, it's the steelers... So I doubt it.

Bruh, u might be wearing your black and gold glasses here. Minkah has to be more aware in this situation. That could be a career ender for a damn good player.

Prolly. I just don't think it was purposeful. He got banged up too though of course no where near as Nick Chubb.

Well I didn't say he went low on accident. He most definitely went low. But I disagree at the "going for the knee" part. Real-time, real speed he and the lineback were doing separate moves and worst case happened.

Please explain wth else is he going to hit when going low like that? I'm really curious about this and how you're justifying the way Minkah did this.

So, are you drawing a distinction between ... Going low (on purpose) to the knee ... and Going for the knee?

 

[WestCoastRam]

Wow, just got home and saw the play. As someone else said, got Bo Jackson vibes there.

 

[Psycho_X]

Had to tweet the knee...

Uhhh trying to make him fall over his body and trip him up? Not seeing any part of his body aiming for the knee? Didn't see any launching or targeting?

Justifying? Wow dude. Just bc I don't think intent was there? I acknowledged he went low. I just don't think he was "going for" anything. Trying to give benefit of doubt. That's all.

So, are you drawing a distinction between ... Going low (on purpose) to the knee ... and Going for the knee?

In this case yeah. I didn't see anything to suggest that he was aiming for the knee. Or going to the knee either. Other angles show he was almost perpendicular to Nick Chubb.

You can go low and try to slow him down, make him stumble,, etc. Things are happening fast so it happened right when he was being tackled too.

Nick Chubb is probably my favorite non-Ram in the whole NFL. Gutted for him.

Steelers D gets another.

The defensive return for a TD is my favourite play in football.

 

[Allen2McVay]

They just showed a clip from Watson, pre-game, sitting on the bench with his eyes closed and some random guy sitting next to him with a lap-top; and Aikman said that was a member of Watson's Performance Team.

I got to get a Performance Team like Deshaun Watson.

@Loyal ... are you looking for some part-time work? It doesn't pay much, and there are no benefits.

Too bad the O is doodoo.

 

[WestCoastRam]

Ebukam and Okoronko were two pretty decent ends that we couldn't keep due to our team building plan. Both have had nice careers since leaving us.

 

[Angry Ram]

Take yo tight whitey helmets on home. Looks like a skid mark on top of yo head.

 

[Giles]

Watson just ain't that guy. To think ppl wanted to trade for him.

 

[hotanez]

fuck both these lousy teams

 

[kurtfaulk]

.

Browns are locked in for 4 more years of this. The dumb fucks.

[Spider2YB]

The Browns losing Nick Chubb for the year on the same night that they get final confirmation that Deshaun Watson is a glorified Taylor Heinicke is brutal. $250M down the drain. Oof.

Sorry, I'm visiting Dollar General stores in search of NFL talent for Snead....
