[Captain Morgan]

Charles seemed to indicate he thought it was an accident after the game...guess the NFL feels otherwise

Logan Mankins is just butthurt the Patriots dirty play didn't result in a W.

Marcus Cannon was fined $15,750.00 for his leg whip on Charles Johnson. And Johnson has officially ruled out for the Miami game.

 

 

Where did you see that Cannon was fined 15,750 ? If this is true it still wasn't enough.

There should be a fine for the leg whip if nothing else... EDIT: NEVERMIND (see above)

Well, at least he got punished.

i agree with him, that i dont think the guy did it intentionally or to hurt CJ, more or less an involuntary reaction after he was beat which still warrants the fine and should have cost them 15 yards.

Tom Brady should also have been punished for yelling and cursing at the referee all the way into the tunnel.. Brady also showed a lack of class by not returning to the field and shaking Cam Newtons  hand.

 

("Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was not fined for his expletive-laced rant toward the officials after a controversial non-call on the final play of the game against the Panthers.")

That's the way I see it.  Cannon resorted to using his leg to stop CJ after getting beat.  Being scared of letting down your team will often result in some desperate acts.  I don't think he was looking to target Johnson's knee.  It kinda just happened that way.  The people complaining about the fine amount don't realize that you can't confirm Cannon was looking to cause injury from the replay.  Sadly, in this case, the resulting injury is irrelevant.

Johnson said Cannon came to him after the game, apologized and said he didn't mean to do it, and Johnson

said he had no problems with it.

I saw this scroll across the bottom of my television screen while I was watching NFLN...Since it was there, I'm sure that you can find it somewhere on the internet...

If the first instinctive reaction after getting beat is to lift your leg and leg whip your opponent, then Cannon needs coaching. Better coaching. I'm sure Suh will tell you his infractions are often instinctual too. Doesn't make it okay. Doesn't make it excusable. Shows it's something that has to be corrected and is wrong.

Unpopular opinion time.

Brady should not have been fined, plenty of players shout at refs and don't get fined.

Cannon got beat and flailed out, but he didn't mean to hurt cj, it wasn't dirty.

Deal with it.
