Did Arkansas defender try attempting dangerous ‘gator roll’ on DeVonta Smith?

Alabama leads Arkansas, but one Arkansas player looked to have attempt a very dangerous move that could have severely injured DeVonta Smith.

Alabama leads Arkansas and is establishing dominance in the first half. The scoring started slow with a pair of field goals, but picked up when DeVonta Smith returned an 84-yard punt return to the house.

However, one Arkansas player was clearly not too happy about it, as on the next punt return by Smith ended with an apparent ‘gator roll,’ which is a move commonly seen when the goal is to injure the players ankle or knee by twisting it.

Smith complained to the ref, but no flag was thrown, and Smith was able to walk it off and get back onto the field.

Alabama fans on twitter noticed it and are not holding back. Here’s what they have to say:

 

Chris Carson has choice words regarding Trysten Hill’s tackle

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson called Dallas Cowboy Trysten Hill’s tackle Week 3 a “bull****-ass play” that left him injured.

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson got lucky two Sundays ago when he only sustained a minor knee injury after Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle Trysten Hill rolled up on his leg after a play during the Week-3 matchup.

Carson was able to bounce back quickly, however, and even returned in time to face the Dolphins a week later, when he managed his first two rushing touchdowns of the year.

Still, Carson was not impressed with the antics that could very well have cost him the season. He told reporters exactly what he thought of the gator roll on Thursday afternoon.

“Kind of like what everybody thought of it – I thought it was kind of a bull****-ass play,” Carson said during his video press conference. “But it is what it is.”

Hill was not suspended for the play in question but was fined $6,522. He messaged Carson after the game with an apology.
