Jeff Saturday Throws His O-Line Under a Bus

[Gugny]

Saturday was (rightfully) pissed at Thibodeaux's sack celebration as Foles lay on the ground in serious pain.  But he was also pissed at his own team.

Saturday also took exception to another aspect of the play: the fact that none of his players intervened during Thibodeaux's prolonged display.

 

"Disappointed from the O-line perspective and teammates in general," said Saturday, a former Colts Pro Bowl center.

 

"We protect our own. Y'all know me. I've been here a long time. I'm just going to tread lightly. Obviously, I didn't like it at all. That's where I'll leave it."

I remember Tre White's teammates standing around doing nothing after the dirty Gronk hit on Tre White, but McDermott didn't call them out.

Give us a good deal on trade for that all pro G of yours

I don't have an opinion either way but Saturday is not a coach. He is a well respected former player. As such, his statement seems to hold more gravity than just a coach

The problem going back to the end of last season was the O line play and now letting your QB get busted up and not reacting to the celebration while he is on the ground is galling.  Guys with no fire or passion.  They will be gone soon when they clean house.

"Throw under the bus" has this lost it meaning?

[Mr. WEO]

Saturday's right.  This clown was dancing on Foles's grave--literally side by side as he's writhing in agony.  Teammates strolled away.

 

 

It's a business, they say...

I think it's evolved into simply being a public criticism.  That's how I define it, anyway.

Being on the receiving end of the largest regular season collapse with Minnie apparently took all the fight out of Indy's trenches?

[Solomon Grundy]

Their highly regarded offensive line has been horrible all season

[Freddie's Dead]

This is Mike Singletary saying "I can't win with 'em".

[Man with No Name]

not saying it's saturday's fault, but the team is a reflection of their leader. He needs to be aware of that and make changes in his team's culture. not saying it can happen over night, but it's up to him to make it happen. or it will be up to somebody else next year.

Not going to lie, when I saw the play and the guy celebrating afterwords I thought it should have been a flag.  And shocked that the colts did not rough the clown up a bit.

 

Also, was disappointed when the Bills didnt check Gronk for his cheep shot.

for as much crap as Thibedwaux has taken I honestly don’t think he knew the condition of Foles. He never looked over at him or anything .

 

I blame the Giants teammates for not stopping him

he knew he had just leveled the guy and put him on the ground ........and then laid down next to him to perform that extended a-hole celebration.

I saw it live on the broadcast and it was a bit disturbing, especially with how long Thibodeaux was doing the snow angels.  Actually surprised he wasn't penalized for taunting.

 

While I don't disagree about him not knowing at the time of the snow angels, this also happened:

Yeah, I have no problem with the snow angels. He didn't know.

 

But that right there is classless.

What is he celebrating?  Taking a clear path to the QBs spine?   ***** idiot acting like he actually made a play.  He looked over and saw him in pain and still celebrated.  F him.

Reminds me of when the Sabres didn't help out Millsy in Boston after he was roughed up.  They were a bunch of P*ssies.

Still dislike Gronk for that. Saw he tweeted prayers for Damar. I say faak him
