Nice suplex move and no, he shouldn't be suspended.

Yeah because that's exactly what happened when Nick Fairley did it to Greg McElroy in 2010 right?


That's not Nick Fairley genius.

This is football!! He made a great tackle and threw the player down to prevent him from getting even another inch. His body position and leverage at the moment of the contact dictated his move. I saw no evidence of malicious intent. Only a hardnosed athletic play! I am an LSU fan and even I feel that if he gets suspended it is an injustice

Suspension is warranted by Saban.

Surprised he wasn't pulled. It was excessive but that's about it. Mizz targeted him the next two plays.

No.
We play fsu every year, so we've seen worse.

Maybe Patrick Willis should've been suspended for this hit...

Tough call... I don't think suplexing a player is worth a suspension by itself. Only problem I have is that he suplexed him straight over the top, which brought him down on his head. That tackle was extremely dangerous and worse than any horse collar or facemask. It's up to the league office to decide whether that warrants a suspension.

Threads like this expose those who are in favor of the pussification of the game. Perhaps, the TV networks should cover some flag football games for them.

Unnecessary roughness has been in the rule book for a long time.
