PrintNFL.com news: Seahawks' Carroll calls play that injured LT Okung 'out of line'
Already hampered by two major season-ending knee injuries along the offensive line, the Seattle Seahawks lost left tackle Russell Okung for the rest of the season on a play that coach Pete Carroll called "out of line" on Friday. "He got grabbed under the arm and thrown down to the ground. It had nothing to do with the play. It wasn't a late hit," Carroll said. "It might look like he was trying to disengage and that might be what they say and all, but it was really late and it was really out of line unfortunately."
No-heart Eagles have completely given up
t may go down as one of Merrill Reese’s great calls because it was so on target. He didn’t realize it as he said it, but he was summing up this entire Eagles season. It was the call on Thursday’s first touchdown, the 15-yard run by Seattle’s Marshawn Lynch. You know the play. Lynch took a handoff, disappeared into the line, popped out the other side and ran into the end zone. As Lynch went into the line, Merrill said: "There’s nothing there…"

Wasn’t the injury to Okung on the play when they went for it on 4th down with like 30 seconds left in the game? I’m not against running up the score…but karma’s a bitch

I think we have to give Derek Landri special credit. He was going to scoop and score with the fumble late in the game, but then it occurred to him that Shady hadn’t run for 100 yards yet. Landri selflessly went down so that Shady could pad his stats. Derek Landri is the Mother Teresa of DTs.

So are they going to retroactively flag Okung? Hell of a hold there
Shady is the man.
by ProtoTyler on Dec 3, 2011 7:43 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
Here's a better view for you. http://vimeo.com/33062770
I’ll give you that there was a hold. Does that really warrant this type of reaction? Blame the officials for not making the call. No excuse for this one. Very ‘Suh’ like.
Three things:
1. Cole is strong as hell. That’s a 310 lb man.
2. This is why Carroll tried to run it up on the Eagles. And he had every right.
3. Cole is getting a huge fine. Or at least he should.
Is that when he got hurt?
PC is a fuck nut. Can’t believe he beat us

Guys, the Cole takedown happened 2 full plays before that pass at the end
There is not excuse for intentionally injuring another player. Ever.
fuck that
How do u know he meant to? And last time I checked okung is a big boy and has 30 lbs on Cole, won’t feel any pity for him.
by VRFC8 on Dec 3, 2011 11:55 AM EST via mobile up reply actions
Also okung was holding the shit out of him
by VRFC8 on Dec 3, 2011 11:57 AM EST via mobile up reply actions
“intentionally injuring?” That’s a stretch. Frankly, it wasn’t even that violent of a play. Guys get thrown down in worse ways than that 25 times in a game. It was just bad luck for Okung.

He was holding. That’s about the only flag needed on that play.

That throw is about leverage
It is nearly impossible to make that throw without using your opponents momentum against them because physics. I.E. this whole “he was disengaging argument” I keep hearing is invalid because physics.

They’re going crazy over there at Field Gulls. A lot of them want Cole suspended for the season. Also, a few of them were talking about how bad Philly fans are and then they go on to say how they want Cole to get injured. People these days are stupid.

Not just a few
But EVERY major Seattle sport radio show was bashing the fans, city, and team the next day ALL day. They can’t ever say there is no respect for the Eagles because their fans/radio host acted like that win maked up for their season and shows that they are “Headed in the right direction”. Oh, also Marshawn Lynch “Is a better runner than Lesean McCoy”… Thanks alot Eagles. “YOU FUCKIN SUCK MAN”- EatDatPussy445
ok, the giants suck.

Namdey Asomgua sucks.We should have signed Antoneo Cromote so he could have taught his brother, cousin, son or however they are related how to play in teh slotz.I also h8 his nice guy act. I herd he blows through teh hoes faster than runningbacks thru our dfense.

Shady is the best RB in the NFL not AP
he is the real deal, that dude scares me to death more than anyone on that team besides Vick with time to throw the ball

Riddlah, You’ve proven yourself to be a sheep! Every form of media portrays Eagle fans as being “terrible”. Yet, very few of those people have ever even been to Philly, let alone given Eagle fans, the benefit of the doubt. Our fan base can be summed up with one word, “heart”. We are passionate fans, who expect our team to play with “heart”, anything less than that is unexceptable. Do we get upset when our team plays with a lack of enthusiasm? You betcha! But that happens when you pour so much energy and love into your team, and then they play like a bunch of bums.

Because they wish Brian bosworth had played like Cole does in NFL.

...
Looks like a dirty play to me. Pay attention to Okung’s feet. He’s taking baby steps, trying to slow down and disengage. Cole is the one dragging him by his arm and then flips him. Clearly a frustration move (he was having trouble against Okung all night on top of his team getting dominated by the Seahags).
Even if Okung was the one driving him down the field past the whistle there is no excuse for a play like that. Cole should have controlled himself.
If that’s what it looks like to you…

If you had said he was getting held all night and was frustrated I could have bought your reasoning. If you don’t acknowledge the hold then you are only watching half the play
Shady is the man.
by ProtoTyler on Dec 3, 2011 7:50 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
From the replies here, I'd say people aren't watching the play at all.
Cole isn’t held. Okung simply bulldozes him on the play, with hands in legal position. At the whistle, roughly around the 25 yard line, Cole is already hooking Okung’s right arm for the judo throw.
Obvious holding by Okung's right arm when Cole tried to disengage around the 0:08-9 mark
Look closely at your own posted video lmao
Message to Seattle fans
When its your player that gets hurt, it is a cheap shot punk move. When your player hurts someone, it is hard nosed, aggressive football. Been that way for about 80 years now.
Cry me a river..........
It's never easy being an Eagle fan........but I'll be damned if I ever stop.
the day we only score 3 points with this offense, is the day ill give everyone a dollar haha
