It's his lack of effort. His little remark about enjoying vacation. Jawing while plays are going on. Standing and watching plays. That's happening. He makes about 700,000 dollars a game. That's over 10k a defensive snap. Go to the whistle dude. Michael Johnson is 31 with wear and tear and he at least gives his all. Watch the Sam Hubbard TD play and watch Vontaze stand around while the guy blocking him races towards the end zone in an attempt to tackle Hubbard. It's about effort. Dunlap gives that effort. If Hubbard fumbles Vontaze is in zero position to do anything. Rant over.
I don't think Vontaze "enjoyed his vacation" like he said he did. I suspect he was sitting home seething while watching the games. That little remark was aimed at the league office. I think he is very frustrated at this point that he cannot play the game under the same set of rules as everyone else, and that at this point, his fault or not, he gets suspended for sneezing.
