Re: NFL re-issues bounty discipline**UPDATED**
It's funny, you're arguing something that the NFL deemed illegal and Dunta was and has been fined numerous times for... But keep quoting Chris Collinsworth and calling others ignorant

Any coach who says he tells his guys not to hit receivers coming down with a ball or going for a catch should be fired on the spot. 2. Against Jackson, the initial contact was with his shoulder, there wasn't helmet to helmet contact, and he didn't launch himself while making the tackle. Jackson had both feet on the ground with the ball when the hit was made. The penalty was for hitting a defenseless receiver, nothing else. You want my opinion on that, please see #1. 3. Against Maclin, initial contact was made by Dunta with his helmet when Maclin turned and was clipped on the chin, otherwise it would have been initial contact with his shoulder. Is it dumb for Robinson to put his head down when he does this? Yes. However, he's done this numerous times against other ball carriers and it's always a shoulder tackle. |

Now I know you're not going to tell me that between late 09 and when this broke that no one was ever injured during a Saints game huh? Sitting around and going, "well everyone else does it" doesn't change that it's illegal. If other teams get caught, then they'll be punished too.

And 2 players were knocked out of the game against the Saints; Favre who already had a hurt ankle prior to the game and came back a series later... And Kurt Warner, who tried to tackle a defender who intercepted the ball and McCray blocked him... That's the only 2 from the playoffs in '09 to this year, what's your point? |
