Shocking news: a running back who runs like a bowling ball gets flagged for hitting people, and the league is the villain. Somehow nobody saw this coming.
Remember when Rob Gronkowski got flagged for a hit that everyone swore was clean, and the league just shrugged and moved on? Same song, different jersey. The refs throw a flag on a running back who lowers his shoulder to survive contact, and suddenly it’s a referendum on his soul. Skattebo’s gripe is the usual one: the game wants violence for the highlights and then polices it for the box score.
Fifteen yards for running like a human being. Shocking.
