Thats not how doing bad/dumb shit works. Rudolph deserves punishment for his part.
It 100% wasn’t excessive on the tackle. He seriously put him down about as gently as you can tackle someone. No penalty called there won’t be a fine for it.
Sounds like it was a concerted effort to play Steeler style dirty ass football. Let the refs and league decide what’s over the line.
Who is justifying that? If you think Garrett took him down hard or slammed him, or suplexed him etc etc then you’re not watching the same play or you’re influenced by homerism or even the nature of Cleveland’s play to that point.
Cleveland’s dirty play was taken care of during the game with penalties and ejections and will be taken care of after the game with fines and suspensions. Not on Rudolph to get frustrated and nut shot a guy repeatedly, directly causing what followed.
i kind of agree. the initial tackle was not that egregious of a play. hell not sure it's even a penalty. that being said nothing Rudolph did justifies a guy using a helmet as a weapon.

I, again, feel badly for Browns fans. Their teams suck, and this year was meant to be different. Get a big win and you are stuck talking about the dumb-dumb hitting the opposing QB with his own helmet. (Won't feel badly for any Browns fans defending Dumb-Dumb, though.)
Rudolph started it punching Garrett when on the ground, he deserves the big fine heading his way. Pouncey deserves the games he will get as well for the punches and kicks. Ogunjobi deserves his fines for hitting Rudolph after all this as well. The two Browns Safeties deserves some time off as well for headhunting. Garrett ripping the helmet off Rudolph and using it as a weapon deserves his fines and games.

That is just an incredibly dumb statement
LOL!! Are you seriously denying that the Steelers are a historically dirty team? That whole division is a shit show when it comes to dirty play. Helmet swing notwithstanding, the Browns play last night was right out of the Pit playbook.

I don’t feel bad after all the smack talk during the off-season. They made some noise in a down division last year and made some ok, but overrate dmoves in the off-season and then talked like they’d waltz to the SB.

Suspended for season. Should be into next year as well, imo. Give him 10 games to learn from this and to send a message.

I wonder what past incident you can compare this to, to give it some context. Maybe Haynesworth stepping on a dude's head intentionally? He only got 5 games for that. This has to be closer to one full season.
I wish I was a sacrifice, but somehow still lived on.

There have been other helmet swingers and the punishment was much less.
I think rest of the season is fair but beyond that ....Guess it depends on how Garrett handles himself in the off-season.

Which group of scholarly gentlemen angels do you follow that have never committed any sort of dirty play?
Th Steelers have had bad players in the past, just as I am sure your team has as well.

Garrett suspended indefinitely at least for this season

I think what Rudolph did to "start this" happens every game and should be a fine, as well. (I still hold that it was the a cheap shot and that he was not trying to 'lay him down' but 'lay him out' and take the flag or whatever would be meaningless at the end of the game by Garrett....and that this was the start of things.)
Do not think it should be a suspension, but I understand if they feel they need to give him a 1 gamer so that they cover their own butts.
has what is obviously the Cleveland radio call...its hilarious, sounds like our own Dewie Cox is the announcer, guy makes Johnny Most sound like an impartial observer.
This weekend we rock Portland

I like how he doesn't properly identify the players.
Pretty funny.
"Larry Legend" Most....oh man, that guy was a tough listen if you were not a Celts fan.

And he says absolutely nothing about the helmet swing.
Most was hilarious as a Celts fan. The most biased homer announcer I can recall. (until hearing that clip from last night )

Hey now, call me an asshole and imply I’m a misguided jerk all you want. I will not sit idly by and let you insinuate I’m a Browns fan or homer, not for one second.

Hey if you attempt to ASSAULT someone with a football helmet and you swing that helmet and you miss, is that still a crime?
Asking for a friend...
This ranks right up there with the Marichal and McSorely hits. McSorley was modern and he never played again. I doubt Garrett will either.
