Freeman putting s*** out there
 

The New Orleans Saints continue to take hits from every angle for running what the NFL has said was a “bounty program’’ over the past three seasons.

The latest shot comes from Tampa Bay, where Buccaneers quarterback Josh Freeman said he and his teammates were warned by their former coaches to watch out for cheap shots when playing the Saints the last three years.

“We just knew every time we played the Saints, they were going to take some cheap shots,’’ Freeman told The Tampa Bay Times. "I mean, it was always something we acknowledged. We knew Gregg Williams’ defenses were physical and they were going to get after you. Knowing what we know now, it’s not surprising that was the system that was set up for them.

“It is what it is. I’d just say it’s not surprising.''

During a 2010 game in Tampa Bay, Freeman was hit out of bounds by New Orleans safety Malcolm Jenkins, who was fined $10,000 for an illegal hit. Freeman said he knows many of the New Orleans players and has no personal grudges against them.

He also acknowledged football is a physical game, but he said games with the Saints were different than games with other teams.

"Everybody plays hard, but nobody goes out and tries to hurt each other,'' Freeman said. "You go out to hit people hard, you know, straight up. But we didn’t see whole lot of that other stuff except when we were playing the Saints.''

Games were different against the saints compared to other teams -

Yeah that's because every time we hit him he looked at the refs and forced some tears out, the dude is so immature

Duh, can you say "divisional opponent?"

He would love nothing more than to help sink our ship, just lost a little respect for that dude

A little? :)

This is starting to get retarded.

I said it in another thread, "... and what about the other 14 games Freeman sucked in? Whose fault were those? This is getting to be almost comical. Global warming, rising gas prices, world hunger ... yep, all caused by the Saints having a bounty program."

I suspected as much... :clown:

No cheap shots from another team huh? Wha,t you didn't play the Falcons offensive line the past 3 years?

I'm seriously getting ****in tired of this. Between this and Brees' contract BS, I'm about to turn the tv and computer off till the regular season starts.

Never had any.

Why would we waste time with Bounties against the Bucs?

They are the up and coming them in the NFC South..

Maybe the fans should get a pot started...
Can they suspend us too?
Take a couple of fantasy draft picks.

Liar.

True.

Here, I fixed it for you.
