When that clip fades into the second shot, the play is over and everyone has stopped moving. 90, 97, and 59 in white, and 87 and 88 in blue are all standing flat footed, while 86 is actually moving laterally away from the play and 99 in white and 69 in blue are getting UP off of the turf. That's how long the play had ended. The only one still moving toward the ball carrier is Burfict who takes TWO steps forward and actually shoves 99 out of the way to get to Blount. This is slightly obvious in the clip you posted, but watch the Twitter clip that I posted from a different angle and you can clearly see him shove 99 out of the way. Looking at both clips is the best way to understand what went on.
The play was over, he didn't stumble, he wasn't pushed, EVERYONE else had stopped moving. If he didn't want to step on his teammate simply stop moving two steps ago.
This is going to be worse than the other play on Bennett. This is truly dirty while the other play is him playing recklessly. That I can understand you guys trying to justify. This I cannot.
**Edit....I watched the coaches clip yet again. At the beginning of the clip Burfict has COMPLETELY stopped moving along with everyone else, then adjusts his helmet and proceeds to move forward. Each time I watch it, it gets worse.

I mean, Blount got up pretty gracefully for someone standing on his leg. And Burfict would've been standing on Blount's leg because Burfict's leg never moves after it comes down.
He stumbled forward. It's pretty obvious in the coaches clip on twitter.
