Micah and Leonard Fournette Twitter Drama

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

This team is so soft.

Hot Boyz and now Micah more worried about instagram then actually beating a team at home.

They sit around in the best facilities in the league at the Star thinking about how good they are and get their brains beat in by every decent team that walks into their stadium, then they fight like rabid dogs on social media.

Meh.

LOL, Good one

 

[Aerolithe_Lion]

wow really?

 

[NotForLong]

Yup. Micah’s not happy about it. Fournette calls him a cry baby.

I would also.

How many times did Parsons hit someone and nobody posted a cry baby response?

It was a great block . . . What does Parsons expect?

Hopefully he learned to keep His head on a swival this year . . . Because The league is coming for Him this year . . That's what happens when you shine bright

 

[MarcusRock]

He was engaged, let's not pretend this was some nuclear pass blocking.

This is the rough and tumble football everyone says they want, like the yore of yesteryear, until it happens to our team. Then people whine like pansies and scream, "not fair!."

 

[NotForLong]

I honestly dont see anything wrong with it. Fournette is kinda weak for posting that video to be honest. lol

Why is He weak?

It was a Great play . . . Parsons ain't the only bully in the NFL

 

[JoeKing]

Isn't there a rule now against blindside blocks?

 

[TwentyOne]

I honestly dont see anything wrong with it. Fournette is kinda weak for posting that video to be honest. lol

Yes it would be weak. But the thing was posted by PFF.

 

[NotForLong]

A fat running back knocking over a LB on a blindside chip while he is engaged with another player? That is some hall of fame stuff right there from Fournette.

Fat? . . . what are you a preteen

 

[phildadon86]

Yes it would be weak. But the thing was posted by PFF.

Then why did Micah go right after Leonard? Did he retweet it or something?

Other than his head being involved, I have no issue with the block. I never said I did. Not sure you understand what you're responding to.
But lets not act like Fournette super pass blocker. Quite the opposite.

 

[NotForLong]

Damn . . . I thought Micah had a pair

Face the Music . . . You wanted to be a Media darling. . . The Cowboys environment ruins players

 

[Haimerej]

Imagine if Pollard could block like that? Fans would be thrilled!

I doubt there would be any on here saying it shouldn't be allowed.

Awe, I'm sorry. That's your favorite show.

Right.

it's the hypocrisy of it...Offensive players are allowed to get away with murder while a defender hitting an offensive player too hard almost always draws a flag in an effort to #protectallplayers

 

[Bullflop]

Clean? I need to get a better look at that. Looked like either an elbow or shoulder to the face.

Exactly -- I watched it at least a half dozen times. What I saw was a shoulder to the face guard by Fournette. Doesn't seem like it should be legal if he hit Micah there while he was engaged with the tackle. Maybe it's not in the books yet as a foul? If not, it seems like it should be.

Where have you seen an offensive player "getting away with murder" on defenders? Defenders are on missions to knock offensive players out so when an offensive player can get one in, they gladly take the opportunity.

Here are the rules that govern this I believe:

RULE 12
ARTICLE 3. ILLEGAL BLOCK BY OFFENSIVE PLAYER. It is a foul if an offensive blocker:
(a) Thrusts his hands forward above the frame of an opponent to forcibly contact him on the head, neck, or face; or

Note: Contact in close-line play is not a foul, unless it is direct and forcible, or prolonged.

Penalty: For illegal use of hands by the offense: Loss of 10 yards.​

Is that considered close-line play? It was certainly a forcible hit.

 

[NotForLong]

Awe, I'm sorry. That's your favorite show.

Whose Favorite show?

For the record I was pissed when I heard that BS that Micah was gonna devote His time to it during the season . . . I Didnt want Him to be apart of that side show . . . used as a prop

I thought it would be degrading and a Joke to the franchise

Usually Players wait till the end of their carears to think about TV . . . He wants to do it in His second year

And Jerry was OK with it

At least if He does do it (I hope He doesn't) . . . He will not jave to answer dumb questions and make excuses for Dak

That would have been torture to watch all year

Yeah, maybe make those realizations before you sign up with visions of promoting your brand, etc. To dishonor your promise because the landscape changes and you're not in the driver's seat anymore is par for the course for how people carry themselves nowadays and the results speak for themselves. Principles like a weather vane is what I call it. Let the winds determine what you'll believe in today. Might be different tomorrow.

I agree with your sentiments. Kids today don’t have the character that previous generations did. Patience, integrity, humility, empathy, etc.—they haven’t been taught. It’s the societal erosion that is gradually strangling us. That said, I get his reaction. He’s young. I’m not endorsing it, but I also recognize the phony goodwill and arrogant, self serving snark these so called journalists are showing. Like evil vultures, feeding off the rotting corpse.
