    So, after rewatching the helmet to helmet hits I don’t think the hits that caused JuJu’s concussion were malicious. Neither player launched themselves at him helmet-first. Was it careless, dangerous tackling? Yes, at least on the part of Greedy Williams who lowered his head to hit him with the crown of the helmet on contact. However, Randall’s hit on DJ was an absolutely blatant helmet to helmet hit that can only occur when the tackler shows a reckless disregard for the personal safety of the receiver. A malicious hit doesn’t need to be intended to injure. Not caring whether the other guy gets badly injured is maliciousness through negligence. It’s saying “I don’t care if that guy gets injured badly as long as I separate him from the ball.” If every DB played that way, the NFL would cease to exist because there would be 5 concussed receivers in every game. If Randall doesn’t get suspended, it’s a travesty.

    We've been largely a finesse team for several years now. The tough guy, pounding the football, hard hitting LB's and Safties are gone. It seems like the most teams think they can physically beat us up. We have a lot of undersized players...we use speed and timing to be successful. Shame on the players and coaches for getting beat up. Bad teams get intimidated..and at the end of the game we looked like we had enough . Props to them for kicking our ass with their play.

    The assault is a whole different thing. Why didn't they go after our kicker ? Really you gonna beat up our QB tough guy? You didn't want any of Pouncey? I wish Pouncey would have landed some of those kicks to that dudes teeth. It's wrong that he was suspended for defending his QB from an assault w/ a weapon. That was self defense. I hope he can appeal and maybe get a game reduced or something.

    G. Williams style of getting an edge on the competition resurfaced Thursday. Not just Garrett, he has had some unnecessary late hits in his short career but even Greedy apologized to Tomlin about the Browns game plan on defense. I'd like to see Baker get up spitting teeth after a sack, every week for the rest of the season.
