Al Shaair Suspension
- Thread starter usernameJJ
- Start date
It is about the rules. They aren’t the same as back then. You play according to the current most updated rules.
I'm acting like it's 3 and that 3 for a guy with Al's past is unprecedented.
His past isn’t a good one. But go on.
Which is why I watch much more college football now than I do NFL football.
It is an unprecedented suspension.
I notice you haven't commented on God'ell and Rashee Rice.
I knew the league wasn’t about sh*t with the Watson case. It’s never fair. However, most of the nation saw a forearm to the neck that that could have been paralyzing. It happened. It’s over. Winners don’t complain and point the finger, 3 games really isn’t anything. If the players are actually wrapped up in this being fair or not they aren’t going far at all.

As happens with many old men, Runyan grew old, lost his balls, and now rails against young men for playing with the same fire that once made him great.
None of this makes Al Shaair right.

That's the way I read it..
Agreed about Derrick.
What NFL player has ever been paralyzed by a forearm to the neck?
Dont take this personally, but I choose to value guys like Brady's opinion over yours. 3 games is a lot for a guy that's never been suspended.
Oh well, water under the bridge, hopefully they lay Tua out in retribution.
His head slammed against the ground with the forearm driving it there. Well, good thing Brady doesn’t make the rules. Except for the Tuck rule.
So the answer is none.
That’s why I said could have. Watch the play again. It was also a hit to the neck.

No illegal hit and there would be nothing else to talk about.
Your Neanderthal take about laying out Tua is sad and disgusting. The bounty days of the NFL are over, which I bet disappoints you. Why don’t you just stop watching the NFL if your just wanting to see players getting taken out.

I’m still trying to understand why he believes racism and moosluum fear is to blame for his situtation. The victim card has been played so you better
Yes absolutely Steel is right as it definitely seems unreasonable & extreme for a player who has never been suspended previously.
I do admit the optics are bad (TL being literally knocked out & knocked out of the remainder of the game, and finally IRed for the rest of the '24 season).
But I'm afraid that players like Al Shair & teams like the Texans are gonna continue to take it up
the azz in these kinds of situations in the leagues interest, reasonable or not, to protect their QBs: the suspension comes at the worst possible time of the season for both - why not defer one or two of the game suspensions until the beginning of the '25 season ?
Then why 3 why not 2 games?
I agree with you but I don’t agree with him using his elbow pad to target the head and neck area. That was indefensible and dirty. That is what got him ejected and 2 games time out. Then add another game for how how be behaved on the field after the foul. I would also strip this fool of his team captaincy.
Playing the victim card is a natural defense mechanism when you are desperate and know you are at fault.
Mhmmm
Christmas. The league doesn't want people talking about this on the first Netflix Christmas game.
Edit. It's actually the 2nd game. The Chiefs and Steelers play in the noon time slot.

Apparently you're having problems reading, I've cut way back on watching NFL football. I tape most of the Texans games and watch them later
I don't watch football to see people get laid out, but if God'ell isn't going to be fair in his punishment, then players need to take things into their own hands. I know I would pitch in to help cover any fines.
BTW, don't be confused and think I give a crap about your opinions of me.

They are playing the Chiefs and the Ravens.
Targetting head and neck area is illegal and has been for a long time in NFL
I could care less what you watch and tape

Caserio was correct in saying that the NFL is full of BS for the inconsistencies in the way suspensions are handled.
and him saying that publicly won’t help them be any more “consistent” lol. He got away with a closed fist punch. Nick just sounds like he is whining.
Nothing but love here man.
We just disagree on if the league office is going to be unfair in how they dole out punishment then players will need to take things into their own hands. Of course I'm an old school football fan and the NFL isn't marketing to me any longer.
I am old school too and a fan of Tua and just don’t want any more concussions for him. Another concussion and he is done.
If he gets a concussion against the Texans you can blame this on the league office.
For what? For intentionally hurting someone?
For an unprecedented punishment.

I would say for allowing him to play. They should have suspended him indefinitely due to health reasons. It’s been 4 or 5 concussions in as many years. I’m not a doctor but I stayed at a Holiday Inn once. This won’t end well for him.

if they suspended him an extra game for the “scrum” after the play then should the league also be handing out fines and 1 game suspensions for all the Jag players involved as well?
Are you saying you wishes he sustains another concussion because of the Al Shaair suspension?
I agree he has had too many concussions and shouldn’t be allowed to play.
The NFL considered him the instigator
If he gets concussed by the Texans, I would suggest increasing Azeez suspension to another a few games!!
Why? He won't be playing
Has the NFL ever done that before?

The guy who got hit is out for season and the guy who illegally hit him ...3 games?
IMO, Paul Bunyon aka Jon Runyon should have not written that ridiculous letter but just stated "suspension three games approved". He just added gasoline to the fire.
