Mike Mitchell ignites fire between Steelers and Bengals - Behind the Steel Curtain

 

However, Mitchell had his own comments in response to both Jones and the Bengals regarding the hits on both sides.

 

"He's fortunate that I'm playing a lot smarter than I used to," Mitchell said of Jones according to Chris Bradford. "Because it very well could have been a face shot or a knee shot and he probably would have been out a lot longer."

 

When asked about whether or not he had regrets on his hit on Jones, Mitchell showed no remorse.

 

"Absolutely not," he said. "I watched Vontaze Burfict hurt Le'Veon Bell, get up and jump and run to his bench. I wish I would have went low (on Jones)."

For what it's worth, I thought Mike's hit was perfectly clean & had no problem with any celebration afterwards. Good, clean hit. And I agree with Mike, Marvin Jones is lucky Mike wasn't as dirty on that play as he used to be.

I wish I would have went low (on Jones)."

 

He was doing so well with his responses until this.

He's an idiot. It's pretty clear.

We can all say what we want about Mike Mitchell but he always has been and always will be a headhunter.

 

I think Mitchell is a guy NFL teams have to gameplan for. If you are smart you can beat him down the field, if not, he blows your receivers up.

 

And Mike's hit on Jones was clean and I will go as far to say Mike took it a little easy on that hit making sure he placed it just right. In other words, Mitchell could have hit Jones much harder.

 

Agreed on all points.

 

Mike Mitchell is a guy I want on my team in the NFL. Just enough on the edge to get everyone going. He's a tool bag, but the guy can hit. Marvin Jones hit was a great tackle.

 

Mike's going to be Mike...if you don't enjoy a little chatter by the NFL badboys, well..I guess you really don't understand the NFL...it's not tennis

The rematch should be fun. Bengals should have the Division wrapped up easily and may rest some guys. I knew when Pittsburgh let them hang around it would come back and haunt them.

I wouldn't count resting guys with 4 games left. They will still be playing for a bye and home field.
