I agree with the decision, however, the NFL has to do something about "fake slides." I would argue that a fake slide should be like intentional grounding. The offense loses 10 yards and a down.
Agree 1000%. Similar are late slides. Lawrence slide was borderline late, which doesn't excuse the hit to the head, but this has happened before. There are clips of Mahomes faking slides, faking going out of bounds, knowing guys weren't going to hit him, and he's not the only one.
I agree if they are ~ really~ try 2 b " safe" as in Q B injury then new rule should b - fake slide- whistled dead right where it took place similar to " in the grasp" sack? Or what do you think?
It will be next time. At least six, likely a season. You’re not just winning this game. You’re ending this guy’s career. And putting the entire Jax franchise and fan base in football purgatory, looking for a new franchise QB. There’s a reason QBs are protected.
And after seeing the NFL drop the ball and the play dead, Aziz Al-Shaiir decided to fly in and level the NFL with his forearm brace and throw his hands up like he didn't do anything wrong
They should just have all quarterbacks wear flag football and that way none of them get hurt. All the defense needs to do is pull the flag and then they are down and no one gets hurt. That is where all this heading to. 😂
His apology was very shallow. There’s a huge difference between hurting someone and intentionally maiming and damaging someone for the rest of thier life. He dove like a dart to a target, launching all his weight and power into that players head. He’s been schooled on this, of course he has, this is a trillion dollar industry, they now make all players watch videos and look at cat scans of other dead nfl players brains who donated Thier brains specifically for science to study the effects of concussions. and yet he chose to maim another player anyway. If you play it in slow motion, he intentionally aimed for the other players head. In training they are taught that essentially this type of injury is actually killing apart of the brain. So in some way, he killed apart of that person.
He's a criminal. His goal was to injure, obviously. It wasn't a football play... a forearm to the head of a player giving himself up is the ultimate cowardly play.
It was a bad hit, and definitely needs suspended! But playing defense is so hard. I think we should eliminate the slide, so QBs aren't making themselves vulnerable. If you run, you need to get out of bounds, or you brace for a hit
Yes, it was a bang, bang play, but a Forearm Shiver to the head, on a fully defenseless player is completely wrong. Two games at a minimum. He's lucky it wasn't for the rest of the season.
Sliding should be banned, you can't possibly encourage on the most sought after target for defensive players to put themselves in the most unsafe position posible and expect the defense not to hit them especially when they slide late with a player already bracing for impact, either let them hit the qb or ban the slide.
Hitting him is one thing. Leading with your forearm to the head is targeting to hurt someone, no matter what lies he says. You don’t tackle leading with your forearm.
Nfl needs to do something about the qb slide! Make it a penalty to fake slide and it'll stop these kinds of hits. Far to many times have i seen a qb fake slide and the defender give up on a hit, only to have the qb keep running!
Good...its a GAME that's violent enough...players (family men) put their health on the line every day...someone in their brotherhood that is inten't on HURTING a player has no right to be playing the GAME...the hit was intentional, vicious and dangerous...the question should be if he ever should be allowed to take the field again... remember and God Bless Darryl Stingley.
No two situations are the same. The reality is the nature of the injury, the nature of the hit, his bringing up his elbow to increase the damage incurred during the contact (also increasing likelihood of intent to do harm.) The NFL needs to move the goal posts, forget brining in players and start bringing in criminal Justice and judicial and medical professionals if you are serious about protecting the future wellness and well being of these young men.
He has such a long history, but has never been suspended supposedly right we can make a point when I have to say things that are not true. He does not have a history. He’s been in the league for seven years and has had four penalties four and he’s a defensive player
Considering his history, he should be out for the remainder of the season. He has already had multiple personal foul penalties this season alone, including punching Roschon Johnson on the sideline. And remember the famous Tom Brady choking incident. It's laughable the Texans coach and the GM are defending him.
So you want them to bring up an incident that happened three years ago with Tom Brady or actually four years ago because Tom Brady hasn’t been in the league for four years now as a way to penalize a player this is gotta be a joke
Yeah a big joke. Just ask Trevor when he regains his ability to think clearly. Btw, Brady retired in Feb of 2023. His last game was the playoffs on 1/16/2023. The choke incident occurred during the 2022. season. The point is to demonstrate an ongoing pattern of dirty play. Lol, smh
You think the legal system isn't biased? Explain to me how J6 rioters, who don't have previous records and just got caught up in a moment that lasted all of a day , can get YEARS in prison while I see career criminals get considerably less than that if not just probation with no time to serve.
I feel bad for Trevor prayers 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 for him But the play was a bang bang play it’s football 🏈 it didn’t even look like a dirty play he didn’t even lead with his helmet
Media keeps saying he hit him in the head. He did not. His hit landed on the chest and shoulder. The hit was hard though and Trevor’s head hit the ground hard because of it.
He also left his feet in the process of the hit - which is something you're not supposed to do. There are a lot of factors in this that lead to the hit being a dirty hit. The follow thru of the hit ended with him driving his forearm into Lawrence's helmet/facemask. Like, it's all there on the film.
What difference does it make?? A man was Concussed an probably received brain damage is that to much for you to take in, perhaps if it was your son they should give him only a fine!!😮😢🎉😂
It's a game. Dudes don't need to be taking other dudes heads off for a game. You want that kind of savagery, join the military and stay in it. Or, put on some pads and to take a hit like that. You won't be talking about "soft" after that, bet paychecks.
Bad rule Rule needs a severe modification where the quarterback is never allowed to slide feet first. Thus eliminating the gray area between going down and faking that you are going down. 😊
Florio is funny. His hatred for The NFL blinds him so much that he starts off saying they didn't explain this and that and as he's reading they are explaining what he was saying they weren't explaining..
The statement was saying that everything factored into why it was 3 games. But Florio was asking for clarity on was it 1 games for the violence of the hit, 1 for the brawl, and then another game for his prior record? In my opinion he should have been suspended 3 games for the flagrant abuse of the rules. And then anything above and beyond that should then have been explained further based on the other issues. I think he is a very lucky boy that he didn't break TL's neck, didn't do more damage, and that 3 games is the least he deserves to miss.
I wonder who the Texans play within that time frame of 3 games… oh yeah. 2nd leading tackler on the team will be suspended for the game @KC no surprise there.
@ it wasn’t even that bad of a hit lol, flag football league can’t tackle anyone anymore. Man back in the day you could smoke someone and no penalty Mahomes has 0 real sb all flag football
He deserves it. But Rasheed Rice being allowed to play this season was disgusting in comparison
His legal process isn't over yet. They did the same thing with Alvin kamara
Rashee rice will likely to have missed 2 years by the time he returns to football with injury and suspension
@ good riddance

Or fake slide, or fake run out of bounds, both of which are completely legal.
Running out of bounds is even worse. Mahomes uses that like some QBs use PI as part of their game strategy

Yep
Not very bright are you
@brandonhallam51 how many of these types of hits to the head did you sustain in your little league career?
People complain the NFL is too soft now and then ask for year long suspensions for a hit 😂
In the words of Deacon Jones put a skirt on QB and you can't touch them.
He obviously sleed late, don't understand why he gets blamed for Trevor Lawrence slidding late, the Guy who hit him after the slide should be banned.
When you run out of the pocket, it's fair game.
Trevor Lawrence should have run out of bonds.
Vontaze, are you watching?😂
lol 🤣🤣
I miss him.
That Dude has a HISTORY, a LONG History of Dirty Hits especially on QB'S..He SHOULD HAVE BEEN Suspended for the ENTIRE YEAR!!! WTF!!!
He has such a long history, but has never been suspended supposedly right we can make a point when I have to say things that are not true. He does not have a history. He’s been in the league for seven years and has had four penalties four and he’s a defensive player
3 today and 2 next week ... remember he dosen't play for Detroit so they'll come down for him before he's in his 3rd game
In a sane world those battering rams ,called helmets, would be done away with.And leading with your head would disappear .
Should be suspended 1 or 2 games more than what Lawrence misses
Suspend The coach too. He just doesn’t get it!
Haters
Micah’s daddy was killed by the deaths head
Sliding studs up into a defenders chest should also be banned.
It's easy to abuse. Imagine running backs slide at the last minute to get 15 yards every play.
Considering his history, he should be out for the remainder of the season. He has already had multiple personal foul penalties this season alone, including punching Roschon Johnson on the sideline.

The NFL has handicap the defense for years... Bang bang play, in my opinion, im sure the hacky sackers are going to tell me different
It wasn’t a “bang bang play”. You don’t understand the rule. By rule Lawrence was down by contract long before Aziz left his feet.
Al-Shaair is a dirty player. Period.
You think the legal system isn't biased? Explain to me how J6 rioters, who don't have previous records and just got caught up in a moment that lasted all of a day , can get YEARS in prison while I see career criminals get considerably less than that if not just probation with no time to serve.

Should havekicked him off the team. It sends the worst message to all the football community.
He should have been shut down for the year. That was downright uncalled for.
He should be suspended for the year and so should Ryan’s for defending him
Want to clean this up real quick? Issue a lifetime ban. Sadly, that's what it will take to send a message that this kind of hit will not be tolerated.

There's also a sense of what feels appropriate as a guideline. Three games feels appropriate.
Both players running full speed towards each other, but it's 100% the defenses fault.
Show me a video of Lawrence running full speed at the defender. You can't, because he was sliding and also got a forearm to the head.
