Trevathan Suspended Two Weeks

[ND72]

I'm OK with the suspension. If it had been 3 weeks, 4 weeks, 5 weeks, whatever I would say the same thing. Anything more than 1 game was acceptable for me.

While I agree, these types of hits need to be done away with, after watching the tape lots of times, I don't think he "planned" to hit his helmet/head. I think he went in thinking Adams was still standing and would put his head in his chest, but Adams dropped down connecting it to his head. That being said, Treyvathan still lowers the crown of his head, which is illegal (yet still not enforced in the NFL although it is "emphasized").

I'm good with two games.

They better not reduce this. Two games is on the low side for what this deserved. The NFL should know its future will depend on getting rid of hits like this. I know it's a new emphasis in a violent game, but it has to go fast.

Unfortunately this suspension helps a division rival next week. Imo if it is the first game in a division the suspension should apply to the next Head to head match

I like that.

Should have been an ejection and a one-game suspension. They failed to make the ejection, so the two-game suspension is appropriate.

Make no mistake, Trevathan willfully and purposely attempted to injure Adams. This is not to say he meant to hit Adams in the head. I think he was trying to take a shot into Adams' ribs with a helmet spear after the play was essentially over, if not technically over. Adams was in no position to defend himself from the oncoming wrath. This type of punisher/enforcer blow would pretty much go unnoticed by everyone in the viewing audience, except Adams' head dipped sharply as his legs went out from him right before Trevathan connected.

The league can do 2-game suspensions this season, 4-gamers next year and then go up to 8 the year after that. An 8-game suspension for this kind of blow is what needs to happen to keep this kind of hit from occurring in the league.

Of course. If the NFL really wanted two games, the initial suspension would have been four games. No surprise.

he's the one who broke Ty's ribs too. dude leads with his helmet all the time. 2 game suspension should have stood even though he's a first time offender.

WINNER WINNER WINNER

Most figured this would get reduced. That is why 2 games to start was ludicrous

[Tony Oday]

Fucking dumb. Lying pieces of shit. They don't care about saftey.

I would have said the EXACT SAME THING if I knew a suspension wss coming.

I think 4 games would have been the right call. Often appeals happen and the term gets cut in half. It would not surprise me if Danny plays his cards right and this ends up at 1 game

THAT PHONY ASS APOLOGY HELPED MAKE MY PREDICTION COME TRUE

John Fox should be suspended a game or two for sending him back out on the next play.
