read up and see the hit wasn't late people are just upset about the area of where he was hit

at least he didn't get absolutely murdered and embarrassed like meek did

That's a plus

Okay, so say it wasn't a late hit. Say he was allowed to hit him...

To target the knees?

It's still 100% a cheap hit. No matter how you look at it, Suggs is scum and we know what his intentions were there. We know he knew the ball wasn't in Bradford's hands, and we know he hit him at the knees and took advantage of that rule change to try and hurt Bradford. No matter how you look at it, he was doing what he's known to do...be dirty.

I don't see anything wrong with wrapping up a qb's legs. Come on guys it's football his helmet didn't even make contact and he didn't twist the legs violently or hold on.

If you looked at the replay, Bradford hops back at the last second and avoids a big helmet hit to the knee. If he didn't hop back, it could have been worse.

Helmet wasn't even going for the knees. He was throwing his shoulder.

Hit too high = Fine. In the NFL, you are taught to tackle low.

If this dude is gonna cry every time Bradford is tackled below the waste, it's gonna be a long year.







Or a short year, since he probably won't finish week 2.

Thanks for this, DM. Slow start to my day but this hit the spot. Getting primed for regular season. Glad you're vehemently defending someone you deemed nothing but trade bait for Mariota for quite a while before the draft.

Or you could just tackle in the waist/hip area like you are taught to since pop warner.

lol, it shouldn't have even been a penalty. The Ravens have always been coached to hit the QB on a read-option because that's what's in the rule book. If it was a regular, non-injury-prone, non-philly QB, this wouldn't be a story, but you hit a glass QB in a city full of the most thin-skinned fans on the planet, you're going to make a few headlines
