Blake Countess won’t be suspended for hit on Marquise Goodwin
Posted by Curtis Crabtree on January 2, 2018


Los Angeles Rams safety Blake Countess won’t be suspended for a hit on San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin that knocked Goodwin out of Sunday’s game in Los Angeles, according to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network.

Goodwin was carted off the field after being down for several minutes after Countess delivered a blow to Goodwin’s head as Goodwin was unable to catch a slant pass from Jimmy Garoppolo late in the second quarter of the 49ers’ 34-13 victory. Goodwin appeared to reach down for the ball as it bounced off his hands and Countess blasted Goodwin right in the head.

The Rams were assessed for 15 yards for an unnecessary roughness penalty for a hit against a defenseless receiver.

Countess was a backup and special teams player throughout the season for the Rams, but was playing in Sunday’s finale as the team rested several key players for the postseason.

Wait…inconsistency by the league office? In favor of a team heading to the playoffs? I can not believe it! Not in 2018!
---------
Looks like the Rams are the new NFL favorites. Got to make sure they keep winning to get LA fans engaged. Money over safety or integrity.
----------
Glad… It was a huge hit, but what was the alternative? Just allow Goodwin to make the catch? If anyone’s to blame, I’d put it at 50% Garropolo for that crap throw, and Goodwin for ducking down (he would have had the wind knocked out of him, but no concussion).

The defender did absolutely nothing wrong.
----------
Countess was coming in chest high to jar the ball loose, the receiver, unfortunately, ducked into the hit.

It wasn’t a head hunting job like Vontaze Burfict on Antonio Brown.
----------
That is the RIGHT call!!!

About time the NFL got it right.
---------
This guy did the same to New Orleans TE Coby Fleener earlier in the season. It is therefore unlikely to be an accident.
