On Tuesday, the <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcsports.com\/nfl\/profootballtalk\/rumor-mill\/news\/its-official-rams-lt-alaric-jackson-suspended-two-games\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">NFL suspended Jackson<\/a> for two games.<\/p>\n<p>After the suspension was imposed, Rams coach Sean McVay addressed the expectations for Jackson. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is very important to represent the things that we want to be about,\u201d McVay told reporters. \u201cHe has to consistently do a better job. I think each situation is its own separate entity. I think you want to be careful pigeonholing yourself into a one-size-fits-all. The league made their decision. I want to understand the totality of the situation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not condoning by any stretch of the imagination, but I want to gather all the information before I make comments. It certainly doesn\u2019t help us when we\u2019re missing a player of his caliber. He has to make more consistent decisions that are in alignment with being available and representing the things that we want to be about without a doubt.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McVay also explained that David Quesenberry will replace Jackson during the suspension.<\/p>\n<p>McVay, who said he believes Jackson will appeal the decision, doesn\u2019t know what Chubb said to prompt the punch from Chubb.<\/p>\n<p>While Chubb\u2019s words won\u2019t excuse the reaction, California does have a \u201cfighting words\u201d law that prohibits certain comments that are \u201c<a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/codes.findlaw.com\/ca\/penal-code\/pen-sect-415\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">inherently likely to provoke an immediate reaction<\/a>.\u201d That would be relevant if the local authorities get involved in the situation.<\/p>\n<p>Frankly, they should. The game was over, for several minutes. Jackson\u2019s pads were off. He returned to the field for the conversation that led to the altercation. If the situation had unfolded elsewhere and in the presence of a police officer, Jackson would have been (or at least should have been) immediately arrested.<\/p>\n<p>In this case, the evidence is on video. Why shouldn\u2019t Jackson be charged with battery? Anyone else who sucker punched someone in a public place would be, or at least should be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On Monday, Rams left tackle Alaric Jackson sucker punched Bills linebacker Bradley Chubb.
