Fletcher Cox threw a punch at Zack Martin

[TheMarathonContinues]

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

Well that was a stupid call. We know that.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Was it a punch or not? I dont recall anyone saying it was a knockout blow.

Did I say it was a knockout blow?

Oh Carson Wentz oh Carson Wentz!
How soft your body has become!

 

[Runwildboys]

Well that was a stupid call. We know that.

Even one of the Eagles fans in the Trolling the Nation thread said that was a BS call, though I see why they called it.

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

So what does it look like while slowed down? Also, what would it look like in real time?

Just curious because I think it looks a hell of a lot like a punch when slowed down, and I think it would look even more like a punch if it were in real time.

Hahaha. Punk arse

I’m just saying in a violent sport like football if you slow it down you will see much more worse things.

You said it wasnt much of a punch. A cheap shot is a cheap shot. I think that was the point, wether its slowed down or not. Of course its not a huge controversy, its just another example of philly being philly. Hell with that team.

Sure, but that doesn't make a punch any less of a punch.

I'm not a blind Homer dip****. I was working, and just looked quick, without enlarging the video. Under those conditions, it looked almost as if Cox slid left and dropped down on him.

Watching it again I can see why Cox got pissed. It was below mid-thigh and made his right knee go to the inside a little bit. Slightly dirty hit by Martin but unintentional IMO.

 

[InTheZone]

It’s football. He punched a guy with pads and a helmet on. Didn’t even phase Martin.

Pushing and shoving after a play is understandable, but to say "He'S wEaRiNg PaDs so it's alright" after he takes a swing on the ground seems very childish. I'm curious, when AJ green punched Jalen Ramsey in a scuffle did you also say "so what, let them play?" lol. There's other similar scenarios, this is just one example.

I don’t remember. I hate Ramsey so I probably was happy someone decked him just like Andre Johnson got Finnegan.

Haven’t read through the thread, but I hope this has been re-tweeted a bunch of times with @NFL tagged.

Turn this into a story and get that piece of garbage suspended. He pulled something similar in 2017 by punching 49ers LT Joe Staley.

 

[Bullflop]

It looked like that to me as well. Almost like a reflex reaction from Cox. Still uncalled for but I don't see it as malicious as some others might.

A chop block is one that's supposed to be at the knees. Martin blocked Cox in the hip area when Cox responded with a punch to his helmet area.

That's a no-no. Realistically, though, punching a guy who has a helmet and facemask is pretty much done in vain. Not too healthy for the hand!

LOL....he's a team captain

I would also as he chopped block him....not cool among fellow players...

 

[J-man]

I hope he gets suspended, but I know he won't.

So you're the type that gets physical when upset? Not a good attitude to carry.

 

[Sydla]

Like most things Eagles Sunday night, that was one lame effort. LOL.

Huh? How did you come to that conclusion?
