You don't see his knee buckle when his left foot plants and he pushes off in the opposite direction before Martin gets there?

No, because it doesn't fit into his narrative. OTA's are supposed to be 1/10 speed walkthoughs with helmets, super slowmo style. Any sort of touching is considered assault and charges will be filed. 2 foot restraining orders for everyone.

Lee drops and his helmet is at Martin's shoulders when the contact occurs. The knee was clearly already going out. I weigh about 155 and could have made that contact look violent if Lee were in that position.

How is this so hard to interpret? Lee's injury occurred before Martin got there....at most, simultaneously. We have a large man blocking upfield expecting some resistance from Lee(who wasn't able to give any). With Lee already twisting, falling down, Martin's progress at that point could not be stopped....hence, the falling over him part. He in no way tried to purposely pancake him. As soon as contact was to be made, they would have both backed off.

Again, Martin is a big boy who can not just stop at will. With Lee not being able to stand his ground, Martin probably was out of control at that point as well and fell over him making it look worse then it was.

My main concern is........it was a rainy and stormy Tuesday. Could possible bad field conditions have a part in this? Bad footing, slipping, etc, etc. It seems the smart thing to do would wait it out and make sure the field is dry....maybe postpone field activities until the next day. I don't know.......

Evidently it is pretty hard for some to see that Lee was already injured before the contact. Martin did nothing wrong nor did the organization however people need someone to blame and a scapegoat. They continue to say look at the film and we all have and it is not hard to see what so ever that the injury was taking place prior to any contact. The OTA Dallas is running is the same at all other NFL teams right now, I hate that Lee went down but it is what it is and there is no one to blame.

Awww. These poor babies. Just go ahead and take the rest of the physical nature of the game away, put them in skirts, and let them play two hand touch.

We don't want these guys getting hurt after all in a violent sport like football.
