I just have to repost these since so many continue to say this was a suplex or dirty tackle by DK.
THIS IS A SUPLEX:
Notice how Witherspoon lifted him up THEN slammed him into the ground on his back.
THIS IS NOT A SUPLEX:
Notice how DK DID NOT lift him up. DK was constantly exerting backward and downward force to take Warner to the ground.
See how high above the ground the feet of Witherspoon's victim's were when he was slammed?
Notice that Warner's feet stayed very close to the ground throughout the tackle? That Warner's feet only came off the ground AFTER his body was already heading toward the ground.
Did Warner get taken down hard? Yes, he did. HARD TACKLES HAPPEN. I don't give a f7ck what anybody else says - that was a legal tackle and a bullshit penalty.
Side note: notice the ref 5 yards away watching Warner slamming the back of DK's head. Never called it on Warner or said a f7cking thing in the Ref huddle. @sshole.
