spindoc Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I watched the replay in the airport about a half dozen times. There was zero attempt at trying to hurdle. He clearly tried to and succeeded to kick the punter in the face. You do know when you hurdle you lift your leg up over the object, he didn't do that at all and instead thrust his leg forward into the players face. Not even close and if he isn't suspended I hope he gets maimed next game. Ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet you believe he 100% purposely kicked him in the head. Are you serious? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futurecoach Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Here is link to the hurdle/kick, you all decide. At full speed from the side I can see why people think he was just trying to kick him from the start. However if you see the slow motion view from behind the kicker at the 20 second mark, it does look like he definitely was trying to hurdle him thinking the kicker was going to go low. He did have his front leg up like someone would when trying to hurdle someone. However once he realized the punter didn't get low and he wasn't going to make it over him, he went to the kick. Which it still was dirty to do the kick, but I do think when he initially jumped his intent was to hurdle the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
75center Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I also think the intent was to hurdle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet you believe he 100% purposely kicked him in the head. Are you serious? Yes I do think his intent was to kick. If that was a hurdle attempt that was the worst attempt in the history of mankind. Also what is it with the Steelers and their cheap shots on punters? Remember Huber anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a Bengals fan so defending the Steelers isn't something I do often but it did look like Brown went to hurdle the punter who looked like he was going low then the punter thought twice about going low and started going backwards which put him in the way of Brown's leg. So I don't think his intent was to kick him in the face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He very well could have been trying to hurdle, but he sure didn't try to avoid him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely a hit out on opposing punters, given how much those guys swing the outcome of games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SauceBoss Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I've seen people try and take other team's best players out with a kick to the head all the time. Saw a roundhouse kick used one time in a high school game. League needs to step in and clean that up. I wonder when Cleveland is going to unleash Johnny. I still think he's better than Hoyer over the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDeuce Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Antonio Brown should be fined $100,000 and suspended for the reamainder of the season. I dont wish wish injury upon anybody but I hope he gets maimed next time he steps on the field. Quit already lol. Yes I hope he gets maimed and that is an injury. He wasn't trying to hurdle anyone he purposely kicked a Pinter in the face which could have led to serious injury and death. Break his neck at the very least. Sorry doc but he should get the most severe punishment of all. I hate the Browns so it has nothing to do with the team at all. Are these serious posts? :lol2: You want to call out "homers" for defending Brown, but deny that you feel so adamantly about his "guilt" because he plays for the Steelers... Come on now. You also said he maid no attempt to lift his leg up to hurdle, but he kicked him in the face... How does that happen if he's not trying to lift his leg? :lol2: Take off the orange shades for a minute... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
