Go away Warner! Nobody forced him to become a blocker against 300lb players coming at full speed. Let's explore that for a minute...a stupid act of desperation up against superior physical strength and an uncommon desire to win the game. I wish he would stop coming out and saying it was a legal hit. We already know that from the moment of impact. Start telling reporters you made an awful decision, so awful in fact, he wish he would have never even attempted to block.

I've watched the play a million times and I still contend that McCray could have hit him MUCH, MUCH harder, but pulled up.

I respect Warner, as a person first, and 2nd as player but stop coming out and saying it was a legal hit. That is a fact and will remain so. Focus on why the hit happened. He threw the pick and then tried to get in the mix against superior size and strength. Nothing good can come out of that situation. So Bobby is suppose to gently nudge him out of the way when he is trained to take the QB down with authority. That is not going to happen on any team, bounty or no bounty. |

He was trying to tackle the Saints defender that intercepted his pass. A QB trying to make a tackle is like an old lady in a bar fight!! |

He's not contributing anything of value to the discussion. In fact, it's making the public perception of boutygate worse because everytime he goes on three things are mentioned; the hit, the Saints, and bounties. I've had several fans from other teams tell me..yeah but the hit on Warner, that's what got the Saints in trouble. I would think the same thing if I was watching Warner being intervied with the sound turned low or off. Is he doing these spots for free? That what I want to know. |
