Bullshit. None of that is "rationalizing" Garrett smashing a football helmet on another persons head.

I'll say it once again since you ignored all the other times:

Myles

Garrett

is

100%

to

blame

for

what

he

did.

It

is

inexcusable.

To be fair, the NFL statement does say that "additional discipline for other players will be forthcoming", so we'll see. Maybe they just needed to get the obvious 3 out there, then review the rest more closely.

Key quotes from your link:

Myles Garrett crossed the line, should be suspended at a minimum for the rest of the season

Garrett fully deserves the lengthy suspension he got. As do Pouncey and Ogunjobi. Mason Rudolph deserves to be there with them for his role in the altercation.

And I don't think anyone is trying to justify what Garrett did, just pointing out that Rudolph is no innocent victim in all of it

jesus christ, of course what Garrett did is his fault. No one is debating that.

I haven't seen a single post on here (granted I haven't read them all) that is defending Myles Garrett or what he did.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

every opportunity to stop.

Not so sure about this, I can't find video of the actual tackle now, naturally it's all the fight....but if I recall correctly, Garrett had his face in Rudolph's chest, had no way of knowing if the ball was out or not, and was already in the process of dragging him down.

I could be wrong, but that is what I recall.

Regardless it doesn't matter who started it. It matters who bashed a guy in the head with a helmet no matter what degree of "started it" it was it doesn't make the reaction any better.

And I don't think anyone is trying to justify what Garrett did, just pointing out that Rudolph is no innocent victim in all of it

No. the tackle, late or not, roughing or not, is a football play. It happens every game. You get up. Take your 15 yards if it is a flag, and carry on like an adult.

It's not Garrett's fault that Rudolph was upset for having a shitty game

I don't have a dog in it either. I just don't like seeing Rudolph skate on this as the victim when he clearly initiated the entire thing. Don't start a fight you can't finish. The "late hit" argument is debatable, Garrett had him wrapped up, likely didn't know if he had the ball still or not. It was a football play. Be a grown up, stand up, and take your loss and go to the locker room.

For him to either try to rip the helmet off Garrett, or twist his head and neck all around while almost pulling his helmet off, then kick him in the nuts - then further escalate it when his OL guy had Garrett separated by charging at him....it was bush-league and cowardly.

Garrett fully deserves the lengthy suspension he got. As do Pouncey and Ogunjobi. Mason Rudolph deserves to be there with them for his role in the altercation.

Indiana v Penn St (-14)

Oklahoma (-10) v Baylor

Navy v Notre Dame (-9.5)

Minnesota
v Iowa (-3)

Wake Forest v Clemson (-33)

Virginia Tech (-5.5) v Georgia Tech

Why you leaving out the part leading up to that when Mason Rudolph was trying to rip Garrett's helmet off?
