I cannot read his mind. He may have thought he couldn't get to the ball so instead of trying he braced for the hit. He may just not like getting hit. You dont have to be afraid of getting hit to not like getting hit. I don't know. But if he was afraid of that DB he wouldn't walk onto the field.Well, that was a play in a game, right? Your position was, his bailing on a possible touchdown couldn't be fear, right? Just trying to get what you thought he was doing there, since we ruled out fear.
Come on, it's not that complicated. If Pinkston didn't act out of fear, what was he doing on that play?
I don't know how many ways I can explain this to you.
I believe that football players are not afraid of other football players or they wouldn't be out there in a game that requires you to be hit.
I could show you a ton of Deion Sanders clips where he shied away from contact. He wasn;t afraid, he felt he was too good to risk injury.
Perhpas that was Pinkstons thinking too. If he gets hit, he risks injury and one play isnt worth it. That isnt being afraid of the db. There are many possible explanations other than the internet tough guy approach that he must be a ****y.
I'd love to see a better clip of that play and see how catchable the ball was too.
