That's impressive. Especially considering that I just watched the Bears-Bengals game from last week. Cincy is down 3 w/ a minute to go and they're about to force a punt when Maualuga gets flagged for a personal foul, ending the game basically. I swear Marivin Lewis wanted to go on the field and strangle him.
And the guy that dragged him out of there was Martin, with Pouncey in close formation! Matthews was definitely playing out of his weight class. But, it was Tannehill who gave him "THE WORD!"
lol that was interesting. What was that about, I missed it. A few days ago on Mike and Mike they had Herm Edwards, and Golic and Hem were yapping about how you never pull your own guy (your own jersey), you always pull the other jersey out of the fight. (I don't know what the context was.)
I sort of like how once everybody saw Tannehill, they left. Don't know if it's a sign of respect or they felt it was over. If it was respect, that's a good sign.
Kudo's to Martin to. He was the guy who got him away from the situation first. Poor Rishard though. Look at his head. It's on a deer in headlights swivel being passed from Martin to Pouncey To Tanny.
Lol Matthews got jumped..he must of been like "damn, I thought y'all would have my back"..guess there's a new sheriff in town, and his name is Joe Philbin.
Everybody got a shove in. I missed it too. Looks like he wanted to start/continue a fracas. Don't like Pouncey in a 51. I'm used to linebackers in the 50s and lineman in the 60/70s.
That's typical of Cincinnati. Most people don't realize it. Marvin Lewis will burn timeouts and challenges like Tony Sparano gave fist pumps for field goals.
We were driving, draining clock, trying to make it a two posession game, and he was a hair away from getting called for a personal foul.
will tell you guys one thing there was a ejection in the pats -jets game last night and there was another brawl in an other brawl. the dolphins haven't had any players ejected since the Bryan Cox days.
I was very impressed with the team attitude. Martin wrapped him up to really defuse the situation. Pouncey and Tannehill were just reaffirming what Martin had started. That's smart football and good to see.
see that makes no sense because to me then you look like part of the scrum, not a team mate trying to get your guys out of there.
I loved the way Pouncey (was it? Or was it Martin?) was pointing to the clock and saying "we're trying to run that out!"
I'll say it again, its a sign that this is a well coached team that 4 players stepped up to diffuse the situation. Any further talk or speculation that Philbin doesn't have control of this team, is flat out ridiculous.
I just went back and watched the play again. Clutts and Clay took care of the Browns players and Tannehill told Matthews to get the f*** out. Coach Philbin was up next but they cut away.
You're too young to remember #57 I guess. Several teams give a 50s number to the center. Seems like the other Pouncey wears a 50s number.
Do you like him better in a Free Hernandez hat? What? Should have let sleeping dogs lie, huh? #ihaven'tforgottenmike
They should do a middle-aged sequel, The Lunch Club". Then one as seniors, "The... (Wait For It)...... Supper Club"
love me some pouncey. He's probably lucky cogs didn't get to him. Maybe thats what Martin was pulling him away from.
I like how pouncey point to the scoreboard, and I love how when matthewsvturns to tannehill, tannehill give him the "GTFOH" look and gesture. He wouldn't have done that last year. You have to think between the way this and the incognito thing was handled that philbin is liking the makeup of his team, disiplined.
They start filming the Poltergeist reboot/remake here in a couple weeks. Last year it was Robocop. Enough with the remakes ;p Between TV and Movies these days you see a LOT of my city (Hamilton, Ontario) subbing in for places. I literally watched one TV show one week use a location as one place...and the next day on another show...same location..used as a different place. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_industry_in_Hamilton,_Ontario#Film_list
RT talked about it briefly in his post game interview (in response to a question). He just said something about how getting a 15 yard penalty at that point could potentially knock them out of FG range and despite how much faith they have in Sturgis, there was no reason to put the drive at risk.
If you're bored, at the end of one of Tannehill's runs, Matthews is ripping a guy off Tannehill, then pushing him back with one hand while helping Ryan up. I think what we're seeing is that we have a WR with a nasty streak. With so many players to keep him in line, I think that's a very good thing.
Never mind. I remembered it all wrong. It was Hartline not Tannehill. Matthews didn't pull any Cleveland player off Hartline, he just shoved him out of the way while helping up Hartline. I'm stupid.
