Jiralhanae are inherently strong, hulking, beasts. in "stomping on the heels of a fuss" A young brute that wasn't even an adult yet was said to be stronger than the chieftan which had somewhat experience and was far older. They even fight at the end of the story if i remember correctly.
With everything that has been shown and established about the brutes a cannot see two elites of any type physically holding back a brute.
I think they could, easily. As I said, the Sangheili are military and so were the Jiralhanae in SotHoaF. This Jiralhanae isn't military. He might not work out; he could have little muscle or even be terminally ill for all we know. Whereas I'm sure the Sangheili are at the peak of their physical fitness and have been trained in combat. And as I said, we don't know what the state of the Jiralhanae was. The troopers could have shocked him, shot him, doped him - anything.
I know that about a punch but still, a spartan K.Oing a brute is rather excessive. One punch kills a brute and one punch breaks halsey's nose. I see the differences within the two situations but still. One is overwhelming while the other is underwhelming.
Naomi, a Spartan-II, put all her power behind the punch. Kelly, a Spartan-III, didn't. The weight behind a punch can be easily regulated, as can the point at which you pull it. There's a difference between me punching if I'm in a proper fight to me play-fighting with my five year old brother, for example.
