GSUeagles14 Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 while i think people underestimate how difficult it is to peel off split secind when youre already committed to going 100% like that, its more important to note that it just wasnt necessary. i dont think the intent was to hurt but youre coming the opposite was as hes being driven back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKillerNacho Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 I've reopened this thread after some contemplation. Please keep the discussion oriented to how this affects the Packers, Jamaal Williams, and how this could impact a possible fine or suspension to Derek Barnett and the Eagles.

TransientTexan Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 might be suspension-worthy. almost identical play to the Trevathan/Adams hit in 2017. Trevathan got 2 game suspension for that, though it was later reduced to 1 game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 If I'm being honest. Sendejo's hit on Avonte Maddox looked worse to me. Still hope all is well with both Jamaal Williams and Avonte Maddox both. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAF-N72EX Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 (edited) My condolences to him. Screw football. When he got hit and didn't move I was literally staring at the screen hoping he would show some signs of movement. I was relieved when he gave the thumbs up as he was being carted off the field. The impact to the Packers run game is largely dependent on how much faith the staff have in their 6th rd pick Dexter. With Jones and Williams, I always felt like they were a well rounded duo who complimented each other well with Jones being the solid all-around back who is good in open space but not so much of a short yardage bruiser who can run clock that they get with Williams. With Williams out, now the questions are, is Jones fit to take on more responsibilities in the offense or can Dexter fill the void of Williams. Even as a ND fan, I have no opinion on Dexter. JMO.

Broncofan Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 He's got feeling in his extremities, so worst case avoided. Concussion protocol only likely. Still a bad look for the league. Tough day for Green Bay - lost 2 guys to head shots, lost their RT, and lost an eminently winnable game because Matt Lafleur is a horrible RZ game-caller (or A-Rod called his shots and he's even worse being fully in charge).

INbengalfan Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 The league has to start addressing this. I'm not a Packers fan, but this just happened last year against the Bears too, and both players were carted off the field. Three guys are holding the player up, driving him backwards, and a player goes helmet to helmet from the backside. I'm sorry, but that's reckless. The whistle may not have been blown until Barnett took the last couple of steps, but it's just unnecessary and leads to things like this. Packers fans should be livid. If the only penalty is 15 yards, when is it going to stop? The league needs to make a rule specifically dealing with "hold -em-up-for-the-kill-shot hits like this, especially when helmet to helmet hit occurs to a defenseless player whose body has nowhere to go to help defray the impact.

nagahide13 Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Pretty clearly deserves a suspension. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
