I agree. I think we all know maybe 1/2 of the NFL DC are doing this, and a message needs to be sent. GW also damaged our good reputation. No Saints fans would have allowed this to continue if we had known. Give him the chair, and then find the others, and give them the chair too.

Sure has. It was getting watered down enough on the defensive side, now I don't even want to think about what it's gonna look like. Refs are going to throw flags at anything they think might have been intent to harm even if the hit is perfectly legal. So in other words, every offensive player, other than linemen, will be treated like the quarterback has been for years.

I hope I end up wrong about that.

That was/is happening with our without Williams. This whole situation is certainly speeding up the process though.

He should get charged for every player that the Saints hurt and got carted off during his tenure here.

Which is..... uh... none?

TheOak · 04-07-2012, 06:43 AM

The article says there is a "line" but that "line" has never been defined.... He will never be charged, and certainly never convicted of anything..

Just fluff to get readers.

He deserves a lifetime ban from coaching in the NFL, but IDK about the criminal charges. The problem there is you open the door to litigation of all professional sports and then you'll see pitchers being sued for close pitches, hockey/football players sued for 'big hits' and basketball players taken to court for 'elbows' ...

... we become a nation of 'bocci' players, or worse yet, 'curlers' ...
