Minkah Fitzpatrick is always at the knees

He's doing exactly what players should do in this era. Can't go high. Go low.
The NFL rules force the tackler to go low.
Did not look like a dirty hit to me.

At this point, I’m just happy whenever he actually is involved in a play; he’s basically been an invisible player for the better part of the last two seasons.
Minkah being invisible simply means he's taking away half the field the majority of the time
He hasn’t had a to since I believe in 2022; for as much as he’s being paid, he needs to do more, especially at that position.
Well, I wouldn’t be surprised if his Steelers’ career is running out because his cap hit is huge and he just doesn’t make splash plays anymore.
I didn’t mean that. I meant that they won’t resign him after his current contract expires, just like they’re going to do with Najee Harris after this season.
He's signed through 2026 which makes him about 31--I don't really anticipate us resigning him unless we're contenders at that point
there are rules and unwritten rules. If I was a player against him, he'd be on my retaliation list.
The NFL can't "suspend" someone for an "unwritten rule"
This is what the league wanted with their rules
Saquon and others can be angry but everyone goes at the RB's knees--as they should.
I don't really agree. MF comes in from the side and hits the player in his knees/ankles. Most others hit him in the thighs to hips. I agree with you if you are saying they are hitting head on. I've seen MF hurt several runners this way. He may have ended, for all intent and purpose, Nick Chubb's career.
This is a legal hit--if you want to argue they should make it illegal that's a different discussion but, as of now, Minkah isn't doing anything wrong.
As I said, "legal" doesn't mean it isn't dirty. Fastballs to the head are legal, too.
You can absolutely be suspended for throwing a fastball at someone's head--in fact, people are often ejected for that
You can claim the hit is dirty--that's an opinion. Clean hit IMO--hope he continues to do so--it's effective and legal
He essentially ended Nick Chubb’s career and tried the same with Barkley. Someone needs to end his career. Typical dirty player.
