Was it "necessary"? Probably not. Clumsy? Sure. Was it dirty? Not for me.

All I'm saying is I'm not going to criticize a guy for playing hard regardless of circumstance given the effort issues and troubles this team has had closing out games.

I thought it was a bit out of line. If someone would have hit hazard or mata or someone like that and we were losing 4-0 I would have thrown a baby. That said, he's a great player, just doesn't need to develop a reputation, refs watch replays too.

I don't think Luiz intended to harm him, but he is gaining a rep for silly hard fouls. Eventually, the refs are going to have enough. I love Luiz but he needs to stop the shoulder charges or move to the NFL.

Late to the party on this Luiz discussion, but I'm kind of in the middle.

I love the fact that he plays hard for 90 minutes regardless of score or opponent. I think he's getting too much flac just because his shoulder happen to hit the dude in the chin. He uses his body extremely well, and this was no exception. It was just an unfortunate reult.

That being said, there's no doubt he goes rogue like 2-3 times a game. He's still fairly young. Those things will (hopefully) disappear.
