"Miami Dolphins running backs coach Eric Studesville was harshly criticized online following an ugly shouting match with running back Ollie Gordon II on Thursday. The exchange occurred early in the second quarter of the Dolphins' Thursday night game against the Baltimore Ravens. Right before it, Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa completed a pass to receiver Jaylen Waddle for a massive gain. Unfortunately, the play was called back when Gordon was flagged for tripping a defender."
"Replays of the penalty revealed that Gordon had a reason to be upset. When he tried to block a defender, he inadvertently slipped and landed near the defender's leg. In response, the defender jumped over him and continued making his way to the QB. Social media appeared to overwhelmingly agree that the coach was in the wrong for reacting so harshly to Gordon being wrongfully penalized."
Eric Studesville engaged in a heated shouting match with rookie running back Ollie Gordon II early in the second quarter of the Dolphins-Ravens game after a huge play was nullified by a tripping penalty on Gordon. The penalty erased a long gain by Tua Tagovailoa to Jaylen Waddle and prompted an intense sideline confrontation. Replay showed Gordon slipped while attempting a block and a defender jumped over him, suggesting the call was questionable. Multiple observers on social media criticized Studesville for publicly berating Gordon and called for the situation to be handled privately and with an apology.
