It would be hypocritical seeing as Pouncy kicked a dude in the helmet who was pinned down and defenseless. He got 3 games. I get it, it was retaliation and people feel its justified. But the fight was over, the threat neutralized and he lost his ish - - - just like Garrett did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was protecting another player. While there’s no doubt that his actions were wrong, they would not have occurred had Garrett not hit his QB in the head with his helmet. That needs to be factored into the scenario. In my opinion, Rudolph should also receive a suspension for his behavior. But neither he nor Pouncey should be punished as severely as Garrett, because his actions were more egregious. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Garrett's was retaliation" "Garrett wouldnt have swung the helmet if Rudolph hadnt tried to rip off his helmet, kicked him in the groin, charged him and punched him in the groin" My point is not to defend Garrett, just showing that its a slippery slope. They went *** for tat, obviously Garretts was the most egregious, but Pouncy could have paralyzed him if the kick had landed cleanly.

But it needs to be said that Rudolph started, then re-escalated a situation that was getting under control. I don't know. Hindsight is 20/20 but I don't think Garrett needed to slam Rudolph to the turf. Then it erupts. Regardless you don't hit someone over the head with a helmet. Garrett needs to miss a lot of time including moving into next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh...I think missing the remainder of this season is punishment enough. It's not as though the incident was completely out of the blue. Rudolph did his fair sure to instigate it.

I’m not going to say that any player ever instigates having another player hit him in the head with his own helmet. Yes, he instigated the conflict, but Garrett made the decision to act the way he did, not Rudolph. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Slamman Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 I’m probably in the minority on this but I think Pouncey did the right thing. As I’m watching pouncey kick Garrett in the head, all I could was “yeah, get him.” Then I realized that it wasn’t Jason Garrett getting kicked in the head and I kinda lost interest. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not as though the incident was completely out of the blue. Rudolph did his fair sure to instigate it. It was the perfect storm. Rudolph is angry and embarrassed at his performance and then gets tossed/slammed to the turf at that point in the game. I know the game is played for 60 minutes but if I were Garrett I would have maintained the bear hug to the whistle. I'm not defending Rudolph but at that point he goes off. Still someone hits someone over the head with a helmet. Outrageous conduct. As a concussion expert said had he been stuck with the topside of the helmet we have a much different worse outcome. I think Garrett gets games going into next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadaluvsdallas Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 (edited) I waana know what Rudolph said to get Garrett that riled up and act out of character. I'm not saying any content would justify it but.. Edited November 16, 2019 by canadaluvsdallas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
