I know they didn't call it, just like they didn't call anything on Rudolph grabbing the mask. That hit is called more often than it's not though. I'm not saying Rudolph acted appropriately, but it's not like he just did it for no reason.Bregxit said:It wasn't a late hit. It wasn't called a late hit. There were TWO officials staring right at it. Myles planted his face in Rudolph's numbers and wrapped him up right as Rudolph's arm started going forward. He has no idea where the ball is at that point and continued dragging him down. There was nothing late, no body slam or anything dirty at that point.ORAggieFan said:You're ignoring what should have been a late hit by Garrett. The ball was long out of his hand. That's what caused Rudolph's reaction. Not that it was justified.Bregxit said:I have no issue with Myles' reaction up to the point he hit him with the helmet. Everything prior in my opinion was two guys going at it with Rudolph appearing to start the whole affair.Blindside05 said:diehard03 said:Quote:
1. It excuses nothing, but Rudolph was definitely giving him the business on the ground. I initially thought Myles' just lost his mind for no reason.
Why would you assume he just lost his mind for no reason? Clearly something happened. No one's saying that that excuses his actions, but people generally don't have a schizophrenic episode like that.
There is, most likely, perfectly logical reason for his reaction (or at least something we can understand). Will we get it? Probably not.
Well after rewatching, it appears the reason was Rudolph being a little ***** after he got hit. When on the ground, he started going after Myles' helmet like a rabid cat then when Myles stood up, Rudolph kicked him square in the junk.
Don't know about y'all, but when I have that **** happen to me plus two lineman yanking me around, I might have lost my **** as well
That Rudolph is receiving no criticism or punishment IMO is bullcrap. Myles' transgression shouldn't negate Rudolph's.
