First off...I'm not sure it was really all that intentional. Heat of the moment, I doubt he knows where the sideline is. He certainly didn't go after him after he was exclusively out of bounds. Way overblown Second...if it was intentional. FINISH THE JOB. It would've been a joy to see that Patriot with his knee torn to bits. Shame they don't dive at Brady's legs. For the love of god Mangold, if it WAS intentional. DO IT RIGHT
it was a very douchey move. you dont go after guys knees... and here i thought i was going to actually discuss his play, did you see the tell he has when he snaps the ball with geno under center?
Mangold is a classy, likeable player. I think he got caught up in the moment and went to just shove Talib out because he was dancing (which he is 100% allowed to do if he wants) and he landed badly. He probably shouldn't have launched himself in the first place, but I am 99% sure he was not trying to go low purposely. So bad play, just go and push him. No need to launch. I think he wanted to give Talib a big hit and it ended up looking a lot worse than what he wanted
Big f'n deal. Mangold is a beast, and I wish more people in green were as pissed as he was, and Brick too.
I have no problem with this. End of a tight game against our now most heated rival. Whatever the bullshit punishment will be I stand by #74. Unlike when Arraon Hernandez got convicted of murder and the Pats acted like they never heard of this guy.
Mangold was already committed to the tackle, then kind of fell and rolled Looks worse than it was. He is not dirty
I don't know man, it looked like it was with intent and dirty. Talib is a douche for dancing and he deserved to get his bells rocked but diving at a guys knees the way Mangold did is dirty. Now we know he's not a dirty player but it was a dirty play.
