Former Cowboys defensive end Marcus Spears was furious with a current Dallas player over what the ESPN analyst described as a “code breaker and bulls–t” play.
In the fourth quarter of the Cowboys-Seahawks game Sunday, defensive lineman Trysten Hill made an ankle-grabbing tackle on Seattle star Chris Carson. Replays showed Hill twisting the running back’s leg well after they had hit the ground and the play was dead, which caused the Seahawks running back to grab his knee in pain. Carson didn’t return for the remainder of the game.
“There’s a Code that usually exist between players in the league as much as we wanna win,” Spears wrote on Twitter. “This is a Code Breaker and Bulls–t.”
“This dude has some hurt coming his way next week for this gator roll. We see it on film,” former Giants offensive lineman Geoff Schwartz added.
Seahawks coach Pete Carroll told ESPN radio that he was “really pissed about that” play.
NFL Network reported Monday that Hill is expected to receive a fine from the league of the dirty tackle. The report also says Carson won’t miss much time with a knee sprain.
Seattle ended up winning the game 38-31 to improve to 3-0 on the season, dropping the Cowboys to 1-2.
