“Hopefully it’s nothing…As a big man that’s a bit beat up, it’s a lot easier to get up by turning over and pushing yourself up rather than trying to get up by being pulled up from somebody,” one fan noted.
“Offensive lineman preference is rolling over and pushing themselves up I believe,” another fan said.
A third fan commented, ” It looked more like overall frustration. I guess we’ll see in the next couple of weeks, though.”
Browns Hall of Famer Joe Thomas also commented on the incident and said it had nothing to do with Watson’s frustration.
“Whether Joel loves Deshaun or hates Deshaun I have no idea, but this video doesn’t tell you anything…” Thomas said .
“Big old offensive lineman are like turtles; we can’t get up unless we roll over and do the ‘push-up to kneel to stand routine.
“Achy backs, big bellies, lots of bracing on our knees and ankles: it’s nearly impossible to help us up like that, we just can’t bend like the skinny skill guys.
“I did that several times in my career and then people realized to not try and help me up!
“Carry on, nothing to see here…”
It was a bad look for Watson after the Brown’s 33-17 defeat to the Cowboys.
