Title: Reuben Foster emotional after 'grumpy' Washington players took 'cheap shots' Post by: Chechem on December 31, 2016, 07:57:35 PM Quote Foster said he had to remind himself not to overreact because an ejection would have impacted his availability for the championship game. "Of course I got fired up," he said. "I had four guys around me and the referees weren't doing nothing about it." >:( http://www.al.com/alabamafootball/index.ssf/2016/12/alabamas_reuben_foster_emotion.html#incart_big-photo Title: Re: Reuben Foster emotional after 'grumpy' Washington players took 'cheap shots' Post by: bamaphil on January 01, 2017, 06:54:44 AM I've watched a lot of hard-fought, physical games in the Saban era. We've almost never seen a single player lose his composure with an opponent. To see so many guys, especially the leaders, drawing unsportsmanlike penalties and getting into it with Washington players tells me UW was doing some dirty business.

We're fortunate that nobody was kicked out of the game (and suspended from the upcoming game). :-[ Title: Re: Reuben Foster emotional after 'grumpy' Washington players took 'cheap shots' Post by: 2Stater on January 01, 2017, 09:18:07 AM I've watched a lot of hard-fought, physical games in the Saban era.

Jonathan Allen was flagged for pulling the Washington player off (non-violently).
They didn't show the later incident with the Washington linemen picking on an injured Foster that drew two flags for Bama -- as they say, and I believe them, they were just defending their teammate.

I saw that too. But in replay Minkah's helmet was knocked kinda half off when he was tackled. Wasn't like he unsnapped it and took it off on his own.

I saw that too. But in replay Minkah's helmet was knocked kinda half off when he was tackled. Wasn't like he unsnapped it and took it off on his own. It was knocked almost completely off. It probably would have been smarter for him to push it back down rather than take it off.
