I would say no because he didnt target Geno directly with his shoulder pads as he clearly went low on Dunlap. If he did, then yeah it would be illegal.

Apparently it's a rolled ankle. The cart was for precautions.

Not at all trying to be a smart ass, but I get concerned when I hear rolled or tweaked ankle... a sprained ankle around here can be anything from a month to nine months.

Whenever I hear the word "bruise" I always wonder if the guy's career is over

Whenever I hear the word "EIfert", I assume it's followed by is out for the next 2 seasons, rather than caught a TD

I was going to say, is this a "no big deal" injury that only lasts 10+ months ala Eifert OR a "no big deal injury" that only lingers for 3+ months ala Kroft?

Burfict and Pacman = cancer
AJ Green isn't elite
Andy Dalton is somehow to blame for everything
LaFell and Dansby were awful signings
Everyone else sucks (except Gio, who seems immune to criticism)

Rooney and the Steelers have made it a personal mission to force Burfict out of the league.
Why should the Steelers stop talking? They never get punished and their strategy is working flawlessly.

The only criticism we can give Gio is he is small, but there isn't anything he can do about that. Otherwise, what on earth can we do to criticize him? In that sense, is he our best player?

Burfict was fined $75,000 for the stomp, nothing for the knee hit. His total is now over $800,000.

The NFL fined Burfict $75,000 for stomping on Blount Wednesday. Burfict is appealing the fine, and Lewis thinks Burfict can win the appeal.
“I don’t think he did anything wrong,” Lewis said, per the team’s official transcript. “We were not in the wrong here, in my opinion. It’s unfortunate. That’s what I’ve told people, stood on, and will continue to stand on.
“I don’t think he meant to do anything. I’ve been through it back and forth. I see him trying to step through [the pile of players] and going to help the teammate who has a hand of another player on his facemask, pushing him in the face. That’s what he’s trying to get to.”
