The Shazier injury is on the Steeler coaching staff as well as the league as far as I'm concerned for allowing that culture to exist. They let the James Harrisons and Mike Mitchells and special teams goons get away with spearing/chinstrap targeting and this is what the end result is - a culture of goons who are out to hurt people. Bud Dupree can step on a bear trap with his sadistic B.S. , and he can take sociopath Tomplin and the money grubbing NFL head honchos with him.
Exactly. I trace it straight back to the Gio hit in the playoff game. He straight up speared Bernard in the face. It was bad enough that the refs allowed it at the time. But then the NFL had to talk complete BS to excuse it - claiming the blown call as correct based on nonsense ("didn't line him up") rather than damage the legitimacy of the result or the narrative that had been built around the game.
Maybe if they had handled it correctly Shazier would have learned something and he'd be playing this weekend.
I've probably posted this a dozen times. Sorry, I don't think you can say it enough to counteract the Steeler narrative.
