99 times out of 100 you can't tell intent. However, this may be the one time you can tell that a guy simply wanted to inflict pain and nothing more. |
i really dont think its that obvious what he wanted to do there. i mean half an inch the other way and its not a penalty. im not trying to debate it was a penalty or not but a suspension seems a bit much...unless he has a long history of this.
but anyone got a if or a link to the DHB hit? |
The league said because he got a RTP against Matt Ryan 2 weeks ago it factored into their call. |
was thinking more of a james harrison type history.

James Harrison's record though at least reflected going a couple of weeks between incidents. When you're coming only 4 days removed from receiving the FedEx envelop from the League Office fining you for something and then you go right back out and repeat the action in the immediately following game, the timing is going to significantly factor into the decision.
That said, the thing to note from the video, it's quite visible that Mays lowers his head to use the crown of his helmet prior to impact. This would have been excusable if the guy made any attempt to wrap and tackle, but he didn't. Lowering the head like that is counterproductive to any attempt to bat the ball (because you can't see it to do it) and doesn't hurt his case that his intent wasn't to ring Schaub's bell.
Given the timing and that they're seeing a pattern developing and want to nip it in the bud before, presumably from the pattern, Mays goes out there and goes helmet-to-helmet on Carson Palmer (the next QB on Denver's schedule), they're trying to nip it in the bud by exerting a harsher punishment than normal. This could well be an instance where the precedent of how other players have been punished in the past isn't as relevant because the league can cite the back-to-back weeks argument and have a legitimate case for denying the appeal.

i get where there coming from and why they did it, but it just seems a little much for that hit. should be a penalty and should be a fine..i think the suspension is a little much...but not by much.

Well in his defense, he did remove a piece of Schaub's ear lobe. That's pretty impressive. |
Indeed it was. |
Shaub must have had an earring in? Exactly why in youth and high school sports they make you take them out.

...Matt Schaub, with an earring!? Nah, that's not his style.
Only thing I can think of is that he lobe got caught in some of the internal padding in the helmet when it went flying off of his head.

Well was his grill in? I mean I know he'd never wear both at the same time, it's just tacky. But if he wasn't rocking the grill, it's very possible he had the diamond studs in.

It's just a flesh wound (literally!)...
Not like he was planning on piercing that ear lobe anyway (Schaub's no hippie!).
Besides, he should know already because the Prophet Keanu told us, "Chicks dig scars!"

Schaub just upped his street cred. Happy he's alright though, Texans are my favorite AFC team.
Overall all a pretty horrid week in the NFL.

| I dont know I slowed this down and it looks like Mays hit his shoulder pad with his helmet and then slid up to schuab's helmet. It also changed the way May's hit him with turning his shoulders to complete the pass. Besides if it was a helmet to helmet Schaubs head would of snapped back and probably been knocked out not the helmet flying straight up in the air. I think fine yes but suspension no. |
