Except for that right cross he threw when he was surrounded by players who were probably saying some not too nice things, there was nothing wrong with what he did. Although, I'm honestly not surprised refs didn't throw flags because the "intention" was a QB going out of bounds.
What’s dirty is that slide move. You put yourself in that position when running. You run with the ball, face the consequences. Shouldn’t be a flag for doing your job. And that slide should be banned.
Back in the day, this kind of hit was legal. The NFL outlawed it and made it so when a QB would slide, he was automatically down. They did that for the very reason of what happened here.
Well in the 60’s & 70’s it was MUCH MUCH different …… clotheslines & head slaps were legal …… let’s be fuckin honest these over paid dopes today know better - they just don’t give AF ……this douche is with his homies NOW laughing it up watching it over & over. Guaranteed
Slide rule needs to be eliminated. It's meant for qb's in the open field just kinda saying whelp I give myself up. If you try to full on sprint to the first down line and slide and then slide at the very last second right at the line, this kind of thing happens. The real thing at fault here is the slide rule.
Flacco slid late though, during a time when the league was telling QBs do not do so. Also, some QBs were faking slides until the NFL put a stop to that. A similar play happened to Teddy Bridgewater. Still, Joe should not have been hit in the head the way he did.
Yeah well the nfl is soft as fuck now. How are you supposed to slow down when you're running full speed ahead to make a tackle This was dirty looking but still
Yeah, this is the most egregious in the past 10 years on a sliding QB... And this is from a Baltimore fan with a Flacco Jersey. Flaccos was definitely bad, but this is ridiculous. Dude was 5 yards away when the slide started and Al-Shaair was squared up with both feet on the ground, lead with his forearm that had a metal brace, and aimed for his head... And the mouth breathers saying he should have slid earlier... Everyone knows you are just trying to rage-bait. Close your mouth, take a breath through your nose, and log off twitter...
I forsee him having a GIANT target on his back. I see blockers intentionally trying to wreck his knees, grabbing him by the face mask trying to torque his neck, his from behind, and then dogpiling on him while he's on the ground. If the NFL does NOTHING about this then they have sanctioned an appropriate response to this player, and they have 0 ability to criticize, fine, or suspend players. Number 0 should be suspended the rest of the season, including playoffs, and receive 0 pay.
Yup, if the NFL doesn’t come down hard the players will enforce it themselves. Goodell is woke and soft so we’ll see… Imagine the NHL if they didn’t let them fight. They’ll enforce with dirty plays that end careers.
Azeez Al-Shaair should be fined mightily and suspended for the rest of the year without pay. A senseless hit like that could cause physical impairments to the sufferer that may last for the rest of their lifetime!
Would you say that if he was playing for a major favorable market? You know one that rings in money because of ratings. I don't think so. In the end he'll be severely disciplined only because he plays for the unpopular Texans, whom always have lowest viewer ratings in the league.
I 100% Agree that is perfect fine, And his fine should go to the hurt player. I'm a Buffalo Bills fan I was upset when they played Miami and Tua got hurt but it wasn't intentional. I'm glad in Tua's case he rebounded and look's good and back inform just he has Bad luck. I love the Buffalo/Miami rivalry
It's only a Houston Texans. It's not like this player is important to the league like white boy Lawrence or Stafford, or even that white QB in Detroit. They will suspend him a game or two and fine him. Meanwhile if he was wearing a Rams uniform, he just would be fined.
yea Azeez was literally already flying through the air when Trevor started sliding or at least they both started at the same time, pretty much Azeez was just going for the legs & Trevor slide right into it
NFL should add a rule that the initial penalty should still be applied when a Personal Foul that occurs during/immediately following the play leads to a fight with offsetting penalties.
Referees were terrible on that Trevor cheapshot. No deterrence whatsoever In hockey there is a "code" which helps police such BS. When the NHL did nothing after Steve Moore hit Naslund in a similar situation vigilante justice was enacted by the players. NFL officials would be wise to come down hard on the offender or risk it escalating.
As a Texans fan, I've been a big fan of DeMeco, but I've been seeing some serious issues with culture and discipline ths year that are making me wonder if he's really the guy. What's Lovie Smith doing rn?
Me too. I wonder what happened. Has to be an explanation. Maybe he's trying to be too cool with his guys. I don't know, but he need to fix it real fast.
I think no discipline is absolutely correct. Demeco as a former player has been interacting with the team as a PLAYER instead of a hard ass coach like say Sean Payton.
I agree the hit was bad and illegal. However, I feel with the emergence of athletic QBs and the potential for fake slides that this is going to happen more frequently. They should make "fake slides" an unsportsmanlike penalty.
The fights after the play should not have offset the thuggery during the play. The thug should be out for the rest of the season. The NFL must do the right thing and punish the Texans for thuggery.
If this scumbag is not perma-banned from the NFL they don’t give 2 shits about player safety. Especially as he used a metal brace on his elbow to slam into Lawrence’s face/head.
@@blackopstrololers That isn't football, that is headhunting. 4 game suspension and a big fine. At a certain point you have to play smart so you don't destroy another players career for your own.
I thought the 'rule' was to prevent hits like this? The punishment should be a 1 year suspension for a first intentional offense. Otherwise: REMOVE THE DAMN RULE
LOl, this is the Texans. CJ is hitting that 2nd season slump, and they signed Diggs. Diggs is out for the season because he brought that negative mojo to the Houston squad.
It's really just the offensive line. They have been so terrible. CJ has been under pressure on seemingly every down. It has gone to his head. He is hesitant now.
Al Shair needs to be blacklisted and given the Salah treatment by the Texans. If not, well.... We will meet again next year. In Houston. Better not slide, Stroud.
Good video This dirty Texans football player needs to be suspended first by the Texans and then by the NFL. I think this dirty player put a “hit” on himself, if he plays again this season, on the rest of the offensive Texans football players, especially the te and’ QB. Oh well
@@CJGJprodshe did the same thing earlier this year to Caleb Williams and then also threw a punch at a bears player who was literally helping him up from the ground lmao
Al-Shaair was the weak link in San Francisco's linebacking corps for years, playing next to Fred Warner and Dre Geenlaw. This is what he does. Be a weak link.
Let’s pretend the defensive player didn’t know he was going to slide and Lawrence didn’t, this is still going helmet first in the balls of your opponent’s Qb and most likely the knees ? No matter how you cut it, this is a big no no in football in general.
While there is no rule against it, the NFL has strongly worded advice that QBs do not fake a slide. It was an issue about 10 years ago, and nobody does it anymore after a few QBs got clobbered after they tried.
Man needs to be fined and I mean a big one. $25,000 is chump change to these dudes, if the league wants to send a message then that fine really needs to sting
That’s not as dirty as it looks . . It was close . That’s the price you pay for running as a QB . it was close but he should have slid earlier . I know I’m the minority here
I'm going to speak from a neutral perspective. I think it was too late to tell. At 1:29 by the time Lawrence's leg gets under him enough that it is for sure a slide and NOT a juke or spin, the other guys foot is already off the ground and his momentum is already going low. The only thing he could have possibly done was not stick his elbow out and try to change his arms last second but that hit was going to happen regardless. Everyone is quick to demonstrate how hindsight is 20:20 but in the moment, at that speed, and at that level of play it's a Grey area and not as black and white as people try to make it seem. They don't have slow-mo's and aerial angled cameras. They have limited peripheral and multiple obstacles to try to look between to make split second decisions that they have to commit to 100%
However, in hockey, there's not as much head protection, so if one looks to retaliate against someone in football they need to find other areas of the body to attack.
I'll be surprised if Al-Shaair isn't suspended for the rest of the season, and heavily fined. My guess is Lawrence will go on IR and may be done for the year as well.
Azeez Al-Shaair should be left to the devices of whatever the Jags line decide to do with him... after that hit its the least he deserves man. And to punish 2 jags to 1 texan on this is disgusting. He needs out of the league
One of the worst parts about this is that it was 3:1. 3 Jags players were sent off (including Lawrence) and only 1 Texan player was sent off Also gotta hate how the Texan player throws his hands up after the hit like he did nothing wrong
If you were a fan that paid $300 for a seat, would you want to see the team play the starter and try to win the game, or tank the season and try again next year. Ultimately this is all about entertainment. It isn't fun to watch a team not compete.
He pushed Trevor’s chest with his forearms in a split second scenario. Y’all act like he dove at him head first n64 blitz style 😂. This was hard to watch and I hope he’s ok but this is football.
Azeez Al-Shaair is from my hometown, but what he did to Lawrence was foul. The NFL can't just fine Al-Shaair. What will hurt him more is missing multiple games.
And they will get lower when people realize the players are paid to do as their told, not by their coaches, but that wealthy guy sitting near the owners luxury suite whom made small prop bet just to have money to go to the Bahamas. The games are controlled by the wealthy and gamblers. I've seen the game for most of my life and it's becoming more obvious. The regular joe schmo will lose money and maybe win a little but those wealthy business man or woman will steal more money by having their play run. Check out Pat Sajak interview long ago about the corruption of the NFL. To shut Pat up, they gave him the Wheel of Fortune gig.
Anyone defending the hit is either rage baiting or needs to conduct some self-examination. These men put their health and quality of life on the line for our entertainment.
I defend the hit. When Lawrence knee hit the ground, (play it in slow mo) the defender was 1 ft away and committed to his momentum. Impossilble to pull up or change direction.
“These men” get paid millions and know what they sign up for. If they didn’t want to get hit and have the risk of getting hit like that, play something else. Just saying.
Night Train Lane would shake his head at these comments. the way Trevor Lawrence landed is the problem. Either don't slide and take the tackle or stay in pocket to avoid this
The last time Azeez got a video lmao:

What’s dirty is that slide move. You put yourself in that position when running. You run with the ball, face the consequences.

@@bipolarpunt5721try to pull back, Al just put his head forward, also, you can see exactly when trevor starts to slide, and Al just keeps going.
Back in the day, a player wouldn't be sliding and leaving himself this vulnerable.
Occasionally when a QB goes to slide its tough for the defender to pull up before blasting him. This wasn't that...
The defender knew he was going to slide, otherwise he would have overshot him.
Dude used that Elbow brace like a weapon. That was Vicious.
This was deliberate. His went headhunting.
the Joe Flacco hit. Dirty af. Gotta get a juju burfict hit on bro

“These men” get paid millions and know what they sign up for. If they didn’t want to get hit and have the risk of getting hit like that, play something else. Just saying.
The hit is not that bad. It happens all the time and is a part of the game. Mostly people just pearl clutching bc the world has gone soft
Looks to me like the defender actually led with his hands to some extent.
Yes, it was dirty. QBs need to slide head down, spikes up. Or dive. These hits can be career ending.
People get hit when you run with the ball . This not flag football.
Interesting to see how his arms are all taped up and padded. Weapons ready to unleash (cheap shot ) punishment?
Night Train Lane would shake his head at these comments. the way Trevor Lawrence landed is the problem. Either don't slide and take the tackle or stay in pocket to avoid this
He was dirty when he was here in SF
Plays like this should have automatic 2-3 game ban minimum.
