adam Posted November 15, 2019 Report Share Posted November 15, 2019 Wow, what a crazy play. Suspended indefinitely. Rudolph is an idiot as well, but man, Garrett went way over the line with the helmet hit to the head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ54 Posted November 16, 2019 Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 I had to watch this replay several times to see everything that went on. It was the last play of the game and Garrett tackles Rudolf by twisting him around down to the ground. Really unnecessary given the fact the clock was expired. Rudolf was upset and started pushing back while on the ground grabbing Garrett's helmet. Garrett retaliated and then off went the helmet. Once he hit Rudolf in the head with the helmet it set off Pouncey who just went wild after Garrett. After the hit, Rudolph complained to the ref and then another defender shoved him to the ground.

Stinger226 Posted November 16, 2019 Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 Not to undermine the incident, contact with the helmet was the neck cushion at the back of the helmet.That is why there was no damage. Bad move thou. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearFan PHX Posted November 16, 2019 Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 depends on how you think of it. with all that force focused on such a small point of contact, it could have been very bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connorbear Posted November 16, 2019 Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 IMO Rudolph should have received a game suspension. He was not innocent. Peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peace Agree entirely. The nitwit was trying to rip off the mans helmet, only because he is much slighter than Garrett was he unsuccessful. I get Rudolph’s feeling about getting what thought continued and late contact but you have Be smarter and not make matters worse. Take a page out of Rodgers’ book and just lay there and flop around a bit, you can be sure a flag will come your way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad move thou. Dude, the helmet is metal, and that neck cushion is more inside the helmet than on the bottom where the metal is the strongest. Look at this helmet, the edge of the helmet hit the top of his head. With enough force, that could've easily knocked him out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peace I agree with this as well. Odd that he didn't get anything other than a fine. Garrett just went waayyyyy overboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted November 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 The whole time it played out it looked like Garrett said, "you want to take my helmet off, watch, this is how you do it", then keeps pulling at the facemask until it is off, which could've seriously injured Rudolph's neck. Then once he had the helmet, he was like "oh, you want your helmet back, here you go", then smack on the top of the head. That was a #1 in the NFL draft, in the last seconds of a game where your team is up by 2 TDs and your team just sacked the QB on the plays before this one.
