The second half superbowl and the Browns first round picks
-
Better yet, if Gilbert isn't picked up on waivers, then stools also get a dead money hit of 2.1m next year... ?Speaking of Browns first round picks, Justin Gilbert was cut by the Stoolers today.
Better yet, if Gilbert isn't picked up on waivers, then stools also get a dead money hit of 2.1m next year...
It still stumps me that with all the resources they have at their disposal, the FO could not have found out about Gilbert and JM before the draft. Is this why we fired so many scouts?

Let's add Mike Evans to the list of passed over for Gilbert. NFL Play of the Year winner.

No... I remember a DL that lunged as he was falling down... trying to disrupt a pass and hit a leg to which most of CP's weight had been transferred.
Somewhat similar to the shot that took out Brady's knee nearly ten years ago except the player lunged forward after already being on the ground.

True... I remember when you first arrived here warning us all about how we screwed up drafting an immature party-boy with alcohol and drug issues.
Oh wait...

This is being posted because I thought a few things, out of anger....
I was so sure Atlanta would win, I made a huge bet with our friend's daughter
in N.C. Ten bucks down the drain.
Had friends over, lots of food, Atlanta had the game
well in hand... but we were amazed that the Falcons kept running out of bounds.
and calling timeouts. It's the third quarter and everybody is saying "don't run out of...too late"
seriously? and fumbled the ball. oh well.
anyways, to the Browns' draft. The second half, the Patriots came out loaded for bear,
throwing players around after the play... etc taking out a few Falcon linesmen's knees...
the patriots went to the pass instantly offense. and their quick wr's get open quick,
brady gets the snap and throws it.... so there ya go. Makes me wonder about a few things.
If the Falcons had had Garrett in their lineup, would he have been able to get to
Brady in the second half before he threw the ball? I don't think so.
So, maybe Garrett isn't the guy for the Browns. I know a quicker pass rush helps the secondary,
but as great as the Atlanta pass rush was, the Patriots are just excellent at the quick throws.
No player could have gotten to Brady in time.
So...... maybe the Browns need their seconary fixed first. Maybe Foster is more the
fix than Garrett. After watching that second half turnaround, Maybe... if the Browns
are not going Trubisky.. they definately trade down, to where they can still get Foster.
Or Lattimore, even though it's a deep cb draft. or Jamal Adams. Or maybe what the hell do
I know, wish the combine was tomorrow. After the patriots came back and won, she texted
me a picture of a cartoon character happy dancing. dammit.
Should we start a Go Fund me account?
Should we start a Go Fund me account?
nah, I have it, but it wipes out the petty cash in my wallet. dammit.

************************************
Actually, Tour might be right... the same thing happened to Tomlin, he was "falling down"...
trying to help an opposing player from running into him, and lunged up and forward down the sideline
to catch the opposing player if he fell....
yeah.

Not what I recall.
Cheapshotten came though the line fairly cleans and was staring at Palmers knee. He took the shot and out goes Palmers and on to the Super Bowl the Steelers go.

It won't play. Copyright protected.
I had no problem watching it on YouTube. You had to click on the link to get it to play.
Tour is never going to convince me, Cal and a bunch of other Steeler haters that wasn't a deliberate target on Palmer's knee. 2016 rules, Von Cheapshotten would have been suspended at least 4 games and a 50k fine. -

Worst acting job ever.
Kimo saw the knee and took it out.
From the look of it, it absolutely appeared deliberate. He was blocked, the ball had been thrown...and then the guy took a lunge at his knees.
-
he drove his shoulder directly into Palmer's knee, at that angle, on purpose.
It doesn't happen accidently -

You can lead a horse to water...
He blew up the OG driving him back to CP's level.
As he starts to release inside he trips over the Center's left leg and starts to fall... happens all the time.
He lunges as he falls to his target.
Hits his target.
That the play would be illegal today has no bearing whatsoever as it was not illegal then. Not to mention that there is nothing in the rule about "intent".

I don't think anyone is arguing that. Still, he really had no call to do the lunge, other than an attempt to hit the QB, which was unnecessary because the ball had already been long released before he started to lunge.

that coincides with the dirty history of cheapshots by steelers in
important situations to win the game.
like the dirty play by troy pollywannacrackya in college...
