Fletcher Cox threw a punch at Zack Martin

[panchucko]

Looks like that was the only reason he went to the ground, to take a cheap shot.

You don’t think Zach hitting him in the thighs and pushing his legs out from him had anything to do with him hitting the ground

 

[Maverick84]

Totally legal.

You're right. When I watched the first time, I was working, so I just gave a quick watch without enlarging it. He did have his legs taken out.

Glad Martin was wearing his helmet. Cox might have tried biting his ear off.

They say they have more fun...

He hit him in the hip, not the knee. Clean legal block.

A block on the knee is legal as long as the defender isn't already engaged with another player. That wasn't a crack back block but he seem to go low on purpose. Might have been interesting to see all of the plays between those two before that happened.

LOL....he's a team captain

Dumb on several accounts...including hitting a hard helmet with your fist.

 

[CF74]

Based on the responses u can tell whose never played football....

 

[Cowfan75]

A Jets player punched Crawford the week before, plain as day, and to no call of course.

HAHAHHAHA he needed to do this because he got his as s blocked so well by Martin here plus Martin totally controlled Cox all night so he was very frustrated!

 

[CoachD]

Martin cut him, so I think he was going to go to the ground no matter what. He likely was mad about having his legs knocked out from under him. Defensive linemen hate getting chop blocked.

Martin didn't chop him he got him up around the waist, chop blocks are much lower than this!

 

[CoachD]

Guess he didn't appreciate the fact that Martin owned him for most of the game.

Owned him so much I thin Cox name was called all of one time!

Fletch is just another dirty bird.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Hell, they should have it.......after all, it is the league office.

Yup, surely they'll see this. Is there a rule where, if they find something that could've gotten the player sent off, that he can be banned for the following game? Cuz throwing a punch like that would get a player sent off as the Dolphins CB found out. Yet, this was also quite obvious and Cox was allowed to play on.

His teeth are offsides!

(Just like Suarez)

 

[Point-of-the-Star]

That doesn’t look like much of a punch. Seems like now everyone slows stuff down just to show whatever they want.

Much more a blow to the head than what Jaylon Smith gave Wentz that kept their drive alive and led to their only TD

Yes and he was lined over Conner Williams on that play

 

[StuckMojo]

It’s only a chop block if the defensive player is already engaged with another blocker

 

[TwoDeep3]

And just like you'd suspect, Fletcher Cox' fist bounced off of Superman.

When you bare getting your old butt owned on every play by the best guard in football, what do you do?

Throw a punch, Because it is the equivalent of crying the salty tears of a loser.

Bullies don't like being bullied. Cox was being violated and responded like a dirt bag.
