I would love to say it was a "dirty" play but it just wasn't.  Sorry nothing really to see here.  He clearly was holding his foot trying to prevent him from getting to the ball.  There was no intent to injure.  Annoying, bitchy?  Sure.  But dirty? No, he wasn't trying to hurt the guy just hold on for dear life after fumbling the ball. 

He grabbed Burns ankle and then used his own legs to roll him up while twisting the ankle.  There is no way this can be construed as a football play.  You have no right to tackle or hold a guy to prevent him from picking up a loose ball.  Do you think its any coincidence the guy he rolled up and injured had just laid him out?

Whats new here. Something the patriots are involved in gets overhyped and not much logic will ever be applied to it.....

Wow, check out the last 2 seconds of that take down.  Jones, on his back, was able to spin this 6'5", 250lb man all the way around by the foot?? 

 

 

That must be some Bruce Lee **** right there....

Of course Belichek defends him. Once disgusting, Always disgusting.

If you were getting your ankle snapped you would torque yourself too to try and relieve the pain. That is what Burns was trying to do.

Get the papers...get the papers

Rhule's backpedaling mid-response tells you that nothing will be addressed and the fear of officials outweighs the integrity of the game.

"I'll defend my players... uh that is... if that's okay to do so... please don't fine me or Jerry Hughes us please." Let's move on.

Many have the same type of sprain from jumping off the Bills bandwagon. 😂 they don't have the ball either

So if this was Sean McDermott defending Josh Allen. It would be ok?

I think it was obvious he didn’t have the ball. Could he have been trying to prevent him from getting to the ball, yes. But the play was still dirty. Should be held to same standard as a defensive player caught doing that to a Qb

according to Chris Collisworth, gator rolling is an acceptable form of action to take is you are trying to tackle another player.......

Defend the play.  Why isn't it dirty?

[Heels20X6]

You know one thing I really liked about the Rams game last night...

 

The officials blew the game (shocking) with that ultra-soft penalty to Donald for "Roughing the Passer".  Immediately on the next play after, one of the Rams players decided to really EARN a roughing the passer penalty.  You just know that's why they did it.  They were mad that any chance at a comeback was nullified by a horribly bad call, and decided that they'd had enough.

 

If the officials are going to be absolute clown shows on the field, then maybe it's time the players send a league a message and say "fine, we'll police it ourselves."

 

Same situation here.  If Mac Jones wants to twist ankles and get Handi-Kraft to pay off his fines, then I hope his opponents police his actions for him.

Bellicheat said "It appears Mac thought he had the ball".  Really Bill? The dude was flailing both arms in an attempt to get free and clearly didn't have the ball.

One remove the laundry from the situation.

 

Has this player EVER in all his years of playing football ever came off as the type to injure another player?

 

it's already been said, he was just trying to make a tackle or either prevent the player from getting the ball, no ill intent. This happen so quickly especially when you are on the ground, it's easy to think a player either has the ball or is near it.

 

And he has thrown 6 picks prior to that, again has he acted out in a way to try to injure another player before?

This is a serious concern. Our O-line is so bad we probably cannot block Mac Jones. 

 

Someone send josh and ankle brace!

It was obvious that he spun down on his own to protect his knee/ankle from being twisted.  That said, Jones absolutely twisted one of Burns’ legs while he cut out his other.  If a defensive player had done that to a QB, he’d be getting suspended.
