It's childish or at best he's very easy to wind up, despite being probably the best player in the NFL. He's the one person I think of when I think 'doesn't need to say or do anything salty'. Those are pretty weak examples. In all those cases the offensive player easily could have instigated it and you chose three of the only five (that I can recall) examples of him losing his cool.

J-ALL-DAY Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Donald is the best player in the league. Deebo is a player in his second season who is off to a good start but far from a proven commodity at this point. It's okay for him to downplay him some and not give him the respect the reporter was trying to get out of him. Was it a little harsh? Yeah, it was disrespectful but it is what it is. He could have responded with something like, "You have to ask the secondary or DC, I'm focused on the OL across from me." No big deal though, Deebo has plenty of time to make a name for himself in this league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vegas had the Cowboys win total at 10.5 and the Eagles at 9.5. They had the Rams win total at 8.5 so Vegas was higher on the Cowboys and Eagles than the Rams. It’s not like the Rams played the Cowboys and Eagles later in the season. They played the Week 1 and Week 2 and most had the Rams losing to both going (0-2) so can’t have it both ways saying the Rams played horrible teams but before the season thought the Cowboys and Eagles were good enough to both beat the Rams. The Rams at the time beat two quality teams that at the time was favored. If anything the Rams were part of the reason that the NFC East has looked bad. Rams ran all over Dallas and did a number on the Eagles but nobody sees it that way. They see it as Rams beat two horrible teams. Then of course the Giants and Washington aren’t good so I’ll give you that. If anything we should be impressed the Rams had to travel east three times in four weeks. That’s on average over 2,200 miles to go back and forth from LA to Philly, Buffalo, and Washington. Ironically they looked flat in the first half in Buffalo after traveling over 2,500 from Philly. They looked flat in the Giants game after traveling over 2,700 miles from Buffalo the week before. They looked out of sync in the Niners game after traveling over 1,400 miles from Washington. Being (4-2) right now and one ticky tac PI call away in Buffalo from being (5-1) is great. I said (10-6) before this season started looking at who the Rams had to play. Then when the schedule came out I was like dang they gave the Rams back to back east trips to Philly and Buffalo early but seeing my eye test and where we are now I’m even more confident (10-6) and possibly (11-5) if the Rams can stay relatively healthy. bruh... what are you talking about? the cowboys with dak were not good, the eagles are not good. youre trying to say that vegas expected them to be better so that must mean they are what vegas expected? huh?

Basically in short what I’m saying is unless anyone came into the season saying the Cowboys and Eagles won’t be good and actually had the Rams starting (2-0) beating them both have no leg to stand on the grounds saying the Rams beat two terrible teams AT THE TIME THEY PLAYED THEM not just looking at NOW because hindsight is easy to predict.

Donald got dominated that night, and Deebo was a huge reason why the 49ers won. He's an open and coming player, and to pretend like you don't know who he is after taking an L is just unprofessional. With the way he's utilized in the run game with Shanahan, theres no way he doesn't know of one of his division rivals best weapons after three straight losses.

If you watch any of Donalds interviews...ever... you'll see that he doesn't know player names. He always refers to them by number. Unless they're very popular then its always been like that since day one. However people just want something to hate on and are too sensitive over everything. Not every NFL player is invested as much as fans are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could have gone about it differently but this a dude thats always been respectful. He gets heated during games at times but not once has he ever lashed out like people think he just did. Ive met him and some of his family and spent a little time talking to them all.. they were the nicest people ever. If this was Jalen Ramsey, sure.. I can see it lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s football. These are grown men. They have emotions and play with passion. Its a violent and unforgiving game so cut them some slack This ain’t ballet. And they’re not gonna hold hands and sing kumbaya. Did you not see your boy Brady go off on McDaniels before and his OL just last week? Goat players do Goat ****.

Cam I used to find incredibly childish when he sulked. Thankfully I haven't seen that yet on NE (maybe it's because he can't fit a towel on that hair) There is trash talking on every play, and I can only name a handful of players that lose it, Donald being one of them. The 'grown up' thing to do is to ignore it like 90% of players do, doesn't mean you have to hold hands and sing kumbaya Edited October 21, 2020 by Hunter2_1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or getting ejected and throwing a temper tantrum after going after 180 lbs star receiver Quinton Patton's helmet when the Blaine Gabbert-led 49ers served Rams a donut some years back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
