Are defenses considering Graham soft? Seattle, Carolina, Tampa, New England, are just a few teams that I remember jamming Graham at the line and not allowing a free release or getting hit after the play was over. Should Graham work on getting open from press coverage?

they were targeting an injury. It was a dirty hit

A soft man wouldn't come back from these hits repeatedly.

A soft man wouldn't be playing with his injuries

They should have taken away his scholarship.

He hasn't disappeared in games like he has in the past. I think he has worked on getting off those jams.

I expect their head coach and GM suspended for the year. Assistant coach for half the year.

They should be losing two 2nd round draft picks too correct?

Sad but true - Marvin Lewis coached circles around Sean P.

Didn't take much of an effort either.

hits like that should be legit IMO, but I'm still pissed that we had 2 second round picks taken, and had our coaches and players suspended for the season (half season for vitt)

fricking horseshite.

and graham may be soft, I don't know, but considering the shoulder injury, I'm not going to let this shape my opinion about him

if only he played like gronk, but then maybe he'd be injured like gronk...soooooooo

Goodell just suspended Sean Payton for what Marvin Lewis said.

This is the same team who's LB was intentionally twisting ankles. Not really surprised here.

And if we wouldve did the same thing to a banged up AJ Green, maybe the game would have had a different outcome.

Nah. Goodell doesn't do anything in the face of empirical evidence like this:

quote:

Unfortunately it cost us a penalty, but I think . . . it took a little bit out of him for the rest of the football game,” Lewis said, via Cincinnati.com. “He’s obviously someone we wanted to get hands on every chance we get. He’s such an effective receiver.”


Rumor has it that he is suspending Payton for hiring cheerleaders with cooties though.
