spindoc Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Goes low on Bradford. Freakin' cheap shot. If there's ever been a guy I'd like to see a bounty on, well,, Terrell Suggs dismisses criticism of his Bradford hit - NFL.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengal Maniac Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Yes, you don't do that in a regular season game. In a Preseason game when most players do not try and be very physical, it is ridiculous. It usually comes back around, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvdfc Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Dirty for sure. Read option or not. I never like Suggs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDeuce Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 They type of play is irrelevant. He went low when there was no need to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurplePride92 Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Just say you hate the Ravens. That wasn't a cheap shot. And they may as well just put a red jersey on the QB. If Bradford had held on to the ball it would have been a great play. Kids are taught to tackle runners by the legs. That's what he did. For all of the talk about this hit I expected to see him going helmet first into Bradford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spindoc Posted August 23, 2015 Author Share Posted August 23, 2015 Please, the ball was long out and he goes low. Freakin cheap. No other word for it. Ball so hard my butt. Weak. If it takes a former NFL Defensive POY that long to diagnose that the ball was gone, you don't know what you're watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it takes a former NFL Defensive POY that long to diagnose that the ball was gone, you don't know what you're watching. Don't put a QB in that situation. Read-option? With Bradford? That's a disaster waiting to happen. And no, I am not a football savant. I don't know the intricacies of the game, the formations and all of the ins and outs of football. I do know you're supposed to tackle the guy with the ball but nowadays if you tackle the guy too hard and now apparently too low then it is flag. That's weak as hell.

I have no problem with that. Helmet first? Yeah, that's dirty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubledeuce Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 The only issue I have with it is that he went low. Suggs doesn't need to tackle any QB low. No, but he gets cut all day long by the offense but no one ever complains about how the offense goes low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He targeted a guy who has missed the last 2 seasons with ACLs. Freakin weak. Yeah, I think Chip is a moron for the play call, but that still doesn't give Suggs a free shot at his legs. If he got there quicker and the RB was in proximity he would have blown both up, so I'm not buying the whole line he's trying to sell. Dirty. And he has that history. Look at last years late hit low in the pile from behind on Blount. Sure, I loathe the Ravens and abhor their coach. I'd say the same thing if it had been Harrison or Dupree or Moats or whomever in a Steeler jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No he doesn't he plays on the edge. If he gets cut it's from the front and he has his hands free to defend himself. So, nice try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every defender in the league is going to test Bradford's legs when given an opportunity like that. They truly should just put QBs in a red jersey and be done with it.
