August 1, 20179 yr Author No more than any other team in the league. It's a telling commentary that none of the Bengal fans have taken the bait. However, I don't mind to. Bengals have been wrong several times on injuries.
August 1, 20179 yr Dude is a moron....No place in the league for this. Paul Dehner Jr.Verified account @pauldehnerjr 14m14 minutes ago First play in contact for Giovani Bernard and Vontaze Burfict dives in right at his knees. As you can imagine a huge shoving match ensued. Paul Dehner Jr.Verified account @pauldehnerjr 13m13 minutes ago Bernard coming off ACL recovery wasn’t expecting it in the hole. RBs coach Kyle Caskey reacted first then OL all charged in. PaulDehner: That hit to Bernard’s knees by Burfict might be the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen at a training camp practice.

Burfict when he came in put his shoulder pads right into the hip of gio not his knee. Now as he wrapped him up his arms and body slid down to his knees. People who have not seen it are going to think he done head first straight into his knee and that's not true. The tackle actually was a very good tackle. The problem is he shouldn't have hit him to begin with. Dumb move by Burfict doing that.

August 2, 20179 yr It was supposed to be non-contact, right? Yes that is why I said the hit shouldn't have happened. As for the hit itself it was not a tackle straight into his legs and knees like people say. Honestly was a pretty good form tackle. Now he needs to not be dumb and follow the dang rules. Great guy outside of football. Now keep your composure while playing and play smart. He is a great player, but needs to stop these unneccasry type plays.
August 2, 20179 yr It's easier to tackle running backs in a non-contact practice. It was a complete full contact session, except it Wasn't suppose to be tackling to the ground during that 15 minute session. The the only non contact part was not tackling to the ground. The rest of it the blocking and running,etc was full go. The rest of practice was complete full contact to the ground. Everything about that play was full speed, even how Gio was running was full speed. The tackle shouldn't have happened no doubt about that, and no arguing that. However people are acting like he dove straight into his knee, that's not true. Your comment makes it sound like it was just half speed and he came up and tackled him, and that's not true either. It was full contact, live everything except wasn't suppose to be to the ground when wrapping up. Tez is in the wrong for even doing that, and putting himself in the situation to where the story has now grown to what it is. Which he needs to stop crossing that line and play hard but within the rules. He was definitely in the wrong here though.
August 2, 20179 yr Vontaze Burfict dives at Gio Bernard'''s knees, sparking practice fight Video of the play
August 2, 20179 yr His own teammates thought it was dirty. What are we arguing here? Never said it wasn't dirty. In fact I even said he was wrong. However the story headlines as even the post below you reads Burfict dives into Gios knees. Which is simply not true. That's portraying it as he dove straight into his knees. Then the whole saying it was a non contact drill portrays it as he ran up and tackle a guy with no hitting involved. When in fact it was live contact with everything except no tacklikg to the ground. So Burfict is in the wrong no doubt. But the stories coming with it are off base.
August 2, 20179 yr Vontaze Burfict dives at Gio Bernard'''s knees, sparking practice fight Video of the play Even this headline makes it likes he dives straight into his knees and the video doesn't show that. The initial hit is at his hip not his knees.
August 2, 20179 yr It's a clean tackle, but it's still a tackle when you're not supposed to be tackling.

The initial hit is at his hip not his knees. It's a clean tackle, but it's still a tackle when you're not supposed to be tackling. True to all of the above. Anyone saying he dove at his knees needs an eye exam. And trust me ... I am the last person who would defend Burfict. I would have been fine if the Bengals let him go after that Steelers playoff debacle.
