nburgmei Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 How much did that LB cost himself? That certainly has to be one of the most expensive punches thrown in the history of history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk4 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 We just pulling backstory out of thin air huh?I'm sure there's more to it that lead up to that point, but from what's been reported it's safe to say Geno put his finger in a persons face and got clocked because of it. Not the smartest move for Enemkpali since he's probably out of a NFL job for a while, but Geno probably did the dumbest move possible for when you're arguing with someone. You put your finger in someone's face, you're asking for those fist to start flying.Word is Geno Smith put his finger in the face of IK Enemkpali’s during and argument that wasn’t getting difused.

Narcosys Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 @benshpigel: Holy Moly: Geno smith got sucker punched in locker room this morning. Broken jaw. Out 6-10 weeks at least.@RichCimini: Geno Smith will have surgery, per Bowles. Enemkpali released by team. Bowles just made stunning announcement in briefing w/ press. #NYJI wouldn't consider it a suckered punch when he's in the guys face and putting his finger in his face.

Gavin Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Whether you think Fitz is better than Geno or not, it's hard to grasp the "Jets will be better off" logic...ok - so they arguably might have a marginally better (but still pretty bad) QB...they also apparently have a new head coach who doesn't seem to have much control over his locker room. That's a far worse sign for that team than Smith missing a few weeks."they also apparently have a new head coach who doesn't seem to have much control over his locker room." Based off this (faulty) logic every locker room in the NFL is bad and no the HC cannot predict that two players jawing at practice will lead into a fight or punches thrown. Now we can say not everyone punches there starting QB in the face which is obviously true....But we are not talking about a star QB here...Or even a good one at this point...we are talking about a QB whos likely to be a career back up soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColtsBlueFL Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Going to be tough for Bowles and the new Regime to evaluate Geno Smith and determine if they need to go QB early in the draft next year...

DougDew Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 There must be some sort of macho bar/street code out there that I'm unaware of.

He'll have 12 games to prove himself one way or the other........... Just my hunch.... I'm not so sure. Geno doesn't know the playbook (yet), and Fitz does from his days in Buffalo. In my eyes, Fitz is the perfect backup. Higher low side then Geno, and lower upside (potentially). But Fitz is a known quantity. Not quite good enough to be a 16 game starter. And Geno won't have the reps nor possibly the playbook knowledge to step in and run the Jets offense on his return.. And if they try it, he will look horrendous, but I have a hard time seeing Todd Bowles yanking the role away from Fitz before Geno is ready, mentally and physically.

BOTT Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 It seems "sucker punch" isn't the right term here....You go put your finger in some random person's face and see how that goes down.

bababooey Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 What's funny is Chris Kreider of the NY Rangers tweeted someone who put a side by side of Geno (out 6-8 weeks) and Derek Stepan (out 1-2 playoff games) with the same injury.
