Quote:For one it wasn't just "push." When a guy is tripped he tends to fall down, but Joeckel appeared to be violently thrown to the turf. Now, Linder might have tripped him up and made it even worse, but that at most was only part of it. As I said, Atkins blew him up.

 

There is another play, against a different DT, where Luke puts his right foot back to brace against a straight ahead bull rush. It's that exact movement he was prevented from doing when he got tangled with Linder's foot. That's why he went on his butt so abruptly and made the play look so much worse than it actually was.
