And even if your fall starts like that, with your legs "whipped" apart, as quickly as possible you tuck your leg back in and get it to the ground in order to break your fall, stop your uncontrolled momentum, and get back up to get back in the play, if possible and necessary.
So even if his leg just remained in the open, extended and untucked posture, that alone would suggest that he was "pointing" toward the Schaub. Then, to see ANY cocking (no pun intended) and thrusting (again, no pun intended), and extending of his leg at the knee and ankle, whereby the bottom of his foot made contact with Mrs. Schaub's jewels, it cannot be explained. At the very least, I can't see how anyone can say the Suh was physically unable to avoid the sack (here, pun intended) if he wanted to, and if he could have avoided but chose not to, then it's INTENTIONAL. Whether he was literally trying to "package" Schaub or just generally hurt him, it was intentional.
He needs at least a 2-game suspension and appropriate fine, considering this is the 2nd time he has used his legs to cheat and injure another player. On Thanksgiving of all days!!!
