Micah and Leonard Fournette Twitter Drama

[stilltheguru]

Von Miller is right. How is that really a football move?

^^^^ THIS

Yeah, as a coach if somebody did that to my best player, I think I would send an 8 or 9 man blitz and tell my second best player, preferably the hardest hitter, to go out there and get flagged for unnecessary roughness on Fournette if he tries to block or launch at him if he is in the flat trying to run a route. Send a message that those types of guys will be dealt with on the field. I'd say something like this, "show that punk what a cheapshot will win him." 15 yards is worth it. These coaches make bank too, so any fine is also worth it.

Nothing terrible, just can’t post it on here.

So, why bother? Drop your sack! Lol

 

[Haimerej]

Surprised to see so many calling this dirty. Obviously, defenders are going to speak against it because it makes their job easier if a back can't chip them. But this is just a chip block, nothing dirty about it.

As I've said for a while, for those concerned about hits to the head, take off the helmets. Go back to the leather helmets and make these guys learn how to tackle and block without using their heads as weapons.

Micah would do well to follow Diggs' lead and ditch Twitter. Your team lost. This back-and-forth the day after is not a good look.

He's supposed to be on Skip's show tomorrow, too.

Everybody should ditch Twitter.

CowboysZone is a much better use of their time.

Von Miller didn't like the hit on Micah.

Dumb. Cry about the player coming from the blindside getting blindsided.

A lot of these players wouldn't last long in the league 30 years ago.

 

[mldardy]

Leonard Fournette a nobody who thinks he's somebody because he plays with Tom Brady.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Lol, our fans are such mental midgets.

 

[mrmojo]

I thought you couldn't launch anymore....or is that just for the defense....hate these rules.

Smh Micah needs to log off.

Can’t post it cause it contains NSFW language, but go look at Micah’s Twitter right now to see for yourself.

It’s in response to this play.

It's a play that even Von Miller said needs to be outlawed. You basically took away the blind side block but allow this while the player is engaged and can't defend himself.

Aren't you supposed to be a coach or something? Of course Von Miller doesn't want to deal with chip blocks. There's nothing dirty or dangerous about it.

Yes and I believe it should be , just like a defenseless player. He's engage. It's also like the peel back block where the defender doesn't see it coming.

Generally those crack back blocks involve a head of steam. This is a guy throwing a shoulder, exactly like you want a back to do in a chip block. How's this any different than a DT beating a guard and the center helping out? Are we going to outlaw double teams now?

It's not dirty because it's legal
They have all these rules to protect offensive players like defenseless player rule, but the offense can peel off on the defense? And I'm an offensive coach. The cut block that Thibodaux in NY took wasn't dirty or illegal either, but it should be in the game. Square up and hit the guy.

Without cut blocks you're essentially taking away most RBs ability to block.

It's totally different double teams you see coming and have a chance to protect yourself they're not launching themselves like Fournette

That wasn't much of a, "launch." Are we going to outlaw sacks coming from the blindside? QBs don't see those coming sometimes.
