Shane...please...no...there's a difference between this guy and even other dirty players. Like, for instance, Rodney Harrison was a dirty player. Burfict took it to a new level. Consistently. I watched him do it...for years. At first I defended it because some of the original plays were actually iffy. It then continued and continued and got worse and worse.
i dont like the precedent of suspending a defensive player for a entire year because of a hit. Its not like he took off his cleats and tried to stab the dude in the eye or something.
technically vons roughing the passer penalty at the end of jax, and chubbs roughing at the end of the bears, are designed to prevent "qb injury".
Chubb put his body on top of the qb, after getting pushed by the tackle onto him.
Will bans start extending to roughing the passer penalties?
There is no set guidelines for this. Basically its what Goodell feels.
