15-yard penalty narrowly averted

Sometimes Emman looks like he's just come out of a 10-year WWF career and is trying to break some old habits.

EJ wasnt going to stop that if he was going to do it.. that was just Good instincts .. period... Im loving number 3.......

I remember when that happened live. Even the announcers were giving him props for not following through. Good solid and smart play

I had a totally different take when I saw it live - the receiver was still inbounds when Emmanwori arrived, and he just picked the dude up and put him down out of bounds. Same result, I guess. I'm just not sure he was headed for the suplex to begin with. Either way, it was a good play.

Yep, catching yourself mid-emotion is hard for most, near impossible for the young guys. Just ask Hall.

We're so gd blessed to have Emann and Spoon on our defense!

That’s why it’s called the learning curve. He was penalized earlier in the year for doing that exact thing and now learned from it. Young Skywalker will soon be a Jedi.

Over the last couple of games I've seen Emm finish a tackle and actually turn away and "celebrate" with his teammates instead of taunting the tacklee. He's learning.

I'm still pissed off that SEVERAL 15-yard penalties were NOT CALLED on the Colts. Our WR's were getting mugged all day.

The non calls on JSN and Sheed were pathetic. Then, we make a perfect play.......flag.

I'm a hell of a lot more worried about the Refs than I am the Rams. The world would crumble to the ground if the almighty Clams didn't win. Oh the horror.........

I don't understand why this needs to be learned, this should be figured out in college.

FACTS ^^

It's a CHOICE. CHOOSE to not taunt, not sure why that's so hard. Shoot, even when Jason kicked the winning FG, I'm looking around for a magic flag.........

As far as that play goes, we were all laughing at our seats. Don't do it, don't do it. Set him down.........

That was hilarious. Good on him to not get another 2 point takedown.
If that had been back in the day, Raibs would say: BRUUUUUCE, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Devils advocate position...did you have control over you emot's in your early 20's? IMO, a small % do. I did not and have plenty of bad decision memories that remind me of my younger self.

I'll take the good decisions with these young guys as a win.

totally agree when it comes to vets. This is where my admiration of DK was challenged. I couldn't defend it after year 2. (and no, this is not a bash DK post).

These are professional athletes making millions playing a game they love while acting as the public figures of their organizations. Maybe it's unfair, but I have higher expectations for them than my local fast food chef who hates his job and makes barely enough to survive.

While I understand your point, money doesn't magically change a person’s maturity. Often times, it inhibits it. Brain capabilities are driven by experiences, not cold cash.

Like anything, they need to gain the knowledge, develop the skill, and have the desire to do it right. This is why MM is an excellent coach…he gets the developmental aspect of the job.

Point taken, just have a different view.
