Part of the reason I do understand Adam's reaction is he did seem to be slowing down when he saw the ball carrier go out of bounds but Amari, who might not have seen it since he was squaring to directly engage, continued full blast.  Not saying Jones was right or wrong there, but I understand getting angry.


The only place I disagree is the question of legality.  Was it clean? I'd say no.  Was it legal?  Barring what I asked for above to further review I don't see any evidence.  SHOULD it be illegal (the stiff arm)?  No. Hands to the face needs to be expanded to include all stiff arms.


Agreed.  I remember when I lived in the Chiefs market I'd see them against the Raiders twice a year.  The Chiefs players in later years would admit to instigating outburst by certain players (like Chester McGlockton) to either draw penalties or get them fighting with each other.

Good points as well....that would certainly be definitive. I'd also like to see the missing bit of film between them engaging, and the takedown.
