Pulling for the Bengals until......

Yea, the sad part is even at full speed you can see he has plenty of time to make the rational choice not to take the extra 2 steps and hit Brown (a penalty in all situations btw).

Instead stays on his route and lowers his shoulder for a blow to the head.  How is this hit being defended by anyone as legal?

Because he felt Brown touched the ball is the only reason I could see as to why he didn't try to cut out of the way. Gave him a love tap and unfortunately paid for it there.

The concept is the same, though. A coach, who honestly had no right to be on the field (brown is a WR, Porter is the LB coach), got into the middle of a scrum in a rivalry game that he used to play in, grabbed a player. That's a dick move. 

yeah i can see that i guess

Love tap?  Seriously?  Love taps do NOT nearly knock a player unconscious and give them a concussion.

just stop

They do. I've seen it happen and I regretfully caused it to happen once. Mine was on the sideline and I hit a RB going for the ball on a wheel route. He touched it with a fingertip and I was a step or so away and i ran into him with my shoulder and it caused him to spin enough for his leg to catch the ground and tear his knee. The play was not flagged and though some were upset with me it wasn't until after he was injured that some tried to call it dirty.  My intention was to punish him for dropping the ball. I doubt Burfict is upset that he hurt the guy. But, as i'm trying to tell you guys, whether someone is injured or not has nothing to do with whether a play is malicious.

Dude, you are embarrassing yourself.  Burfict knew exactly what he was trying to do and it cost him.  It was a penalty and everyone knows it.

The sport as it happens is being defended. If it was Kuechly, Burfict or Hitler giving a 4 year old WR a concussion my response would be the same.

And if it was Kuechly taking 3 steps to intentionally give a WR a shot to the head, I'd be more disappointed.

Because coming from Burfict its not unexpected.

    • This is why it's probably going to be hard to trade down. This draft is fairly light on top tier talent but pretty deep in talent of that next tier down. I don't think there's going to be a lot of teams clamoring to move up and numerous teams might be entertaining moving down. Not a good market to trade down if that's the case. 
    • And if they can't find a reasonable trade down (I think we would need a 2nd rounder this year bare minimum to make any trade down worth it). I would definitely expect Dan to trade UP for an EDGE or LB in the top half of R2. Just makes too much sense. We also have a plethora of mid round picks to use as ammo. 
    • I don't mean to make this a mock draft thread particularly,  but every time I do a mock I have been investigating the talent that goes off the board between picks 8 and our low 2nd rounder pick 57. There is a gargantuan amount of talent still left on the board in the top half of the 2nd round every time I do one. Losing our original 2nd round pick to the Bears as the last pick of the Bryce trade stings badly .  I'm particularly looking at elite players like Carson Schwesinger (LB), Luther Burden (WR), Matthew Golden (WR), Maxwell Hairston (CB) , Nick Scourton , Landon Jackson, Donavan Ezeraku (all DEs/OLBs) . The sweet spot in this draft really feels like pick 15 to 40 - ish. This is why the Bears should be making bank with this draft. I don't know how realistic a trade down is from 8, but if we could pick up any teams higher 2nd rounder and still grab their 1st? We'd be cooking with gas man.  Say for example we get Tet McMillan at pick 8, if you wait all the way to 57 you stand the chance of not getting any impact pass rushers in this draft. And I don't think this team can afford that.  I'd personally love for them to take a break from drafting wrs in R1 or R2 (i think we've taken one in the top 2 rounds in the majority of the past few years), and stick to repairing the nfls worse defense in history (in terms of total points against iirc, or was it yards? Also included my most recent mock as an example . Don't put too much into the  late round selections lol
