Cody Wallace
So we all saw that late hit it was pretty bad. We know he will be fined but with obj potentially getting suspended a game for almost the same thing what are his chances?

It's a tough call. The hit by Wallace probably deserves a suspension. But I think the NFL is considering suspension for OBJ based on the complete game yesterday (multiple punches thrown, blindside hit to Norman's head).
Wallace has this reputation unfortunately, he is a bit of a hot head. Reminds me of Kemoeatu a lot. Both him and kemo had a tendency to be the last man to a pile up trying to take peoples heads off.
If he is suspended a game that means Legursky would be forced to start. I would really rather not see that happen....

Play in question if anyone missed it

I don't think anyone is getting suspended. It will probably be considered late hit rather than head to head targeting. He was also flying in in response to AB getting held up and clocked when completely vulnerable

You realize Bruton didn't have anything to do with that? Man, some of you guys are actually defending Wallace's actions as "payback"? The guy's out for the fucking season

Zero chance of a suspension.
100% chance of a fine.
100% chance that no one on the Steelers is upset at Wallace.

The better question is... will Pouncey be back???

Wallace better not get suspended. What he was doing was looking out for a teammate, love Cody Wallace even though he does have the tendency to cause penalties.

I don't think this is ok. Cody Wallace is a known dirty player usually in a way that doesn't cause any real harm just little things like being grabby in the pile. I like that Cody wants to protect his teammates and he's done a great job this year filling in for an All-Pro center. But he has to be suspended for that he retaliated against someone who wasn't even involved on the play that's irresponsible and dangerous especially with how concussions are affecting the league. If he hit the guy that actually went after Antonio and had not led with his helmet in a direct head to head hit I'd absolutely support Cody. But he could have severely harmed Bruton or himself. If the league is serious about this kind of thing Beckham and Wallace both have to be suspended regardless of intent. Beckhams hit was deliberate. Cody's was horribly irresponsible.

The plan was to hit the guy who hit AB but the guy moved and Wallace can't stop himself mid-flight.
It will be bullshit when Wallace is fined by the Denver player who hit AB gets nothing.
I'm glad Cody stuck up for his teammate and I guarantee you the Steelers are okay with it.

This.

97 better get a fine as well, that hit was just as cheap and he went for ABs head.
Well at least AB was actually still in play. Wallace looked like he was getting revenge for that by braining the safety who wasn't even in on the play, horrible piece of dirty play.
I agree but AB was defenseless and that dude tried to take his head off.
Wallace is an ass though, everyone knows that.
Nah, Wallace is the kind of guy you want every lineman to be. He has his limitations and knows it but he more than makes up for it in meanness.

That's football though.
Wallace saw someone taking liberties with his teammate and did something about it.
Unfortunately he got the wrong guy. Oh well.
