Quote

Jones delivered the hit while trailing linebacker Germaine Pratt, who had recovered what looked like it could have been a fumble by Jones. Though the play was ultimately ruled an incomplete pass, Pratt continued on as if it was a live ball. Jones dropped to the turf and cut Apple out at the knees around the 25-yard line, drawing the ire of Apple after the game.

 

"I thought it was a dirty play," Apple told NESN.com after the game. "He's done that before, I've seen it."  

 

Jones has been under this microscope before. Last year, he grabbed and twisted the ankle of Panthers linebacker Brian Burns in the midst of a loose ball scramble in Carolina. This year, he slid with his cleats up high against Chicago, catching Jaquan Brisker in the groin. nuts. Neither of those plays resulted in a fine for Jones, but he's now at risk of officially getting docked by the league for an illegal hit.

 

They really need to do something IMO because even though everyone has seen this BS, he's not regarded as a "repeat offender" because he's not  been previously fined.

 

So .....Fine him, NFL, please.  It's all on film.  The time for benefit of doubt is past.

I heard he was fined for flicking a ball at Epenesa.

HE apparently was, I saw a video of it, not much to it imo, especially compared to his other dirty plays, sliding down on the ground and raise one leg to nail the Chicago Bears crotch, twisting a defenders leg after a fumble, blindside block of defender at his legs.  the boy already had gotten a reputation and refs will be watching him like a hawk.

He really needed to be fined for kicking Jaquan Brisker IN the balls

He's going to get decleated at some point because of this crap.

 

Brisker picked him a few plays later

 

But yeah, especially when he's at the bottom of a pile, "Stuff" can happen.
