I was more upset over Black's hit on Graham. Goldson got suspended cause of what he said/his history.

ProMallNinja · 09-16-2013, 06:30 PM

Yeah. I totally agree.

Seat belts are for pu$$ies, too!

Oh, and what's up with the armed forces and bullet proof gear?! That's some sissy $hit! They knew people get shot in the military when they signed on! What a load!

Honestly, I don't even know why we worry about dropping babies on their heads. I bet the Native Americans weren't so gentle.

This world has become so lame. I'm over it. Screw the NFL for worrying about player safety. It's clearly overrated.

People who are saying it's a crap suspension please consider the facts:

He is one of the most penalized in the entire league on personal fouls.
He has a very clear history of headhunting.
He was not making any attempt at tackling Sproles. He was only trying to injure him imho.

Now having said all this, if the league doesn't go after Brandon Meriwether, then it is completely hypocritical. Did anyone watch the Packers/Redskins game? Geez Louise.

Is TB's coach gonna get suspended for a year without pay for deliberately trying to knock Jimmy out the game? smh

Coaches love head hunters. Trust me. All this "culture changing" is new, and isn't necessarily universally wanted by the players or coaches.

I was playing ball and knocking jocks in the dirt before your first dirty diaper... Save that crap for your friends. I never went for the head or knees, everything else is defensible.

There are unwritten rules... Like prison, and gangs... There is **** you don't do because its spineless.

IDK who wrote your rule book, but going at the head has been fine up until now. Never heard anybody complain about it. You had some running backs who would get mad when you go low and say hit me up high, but its only when the tackle was made and because they were frustrated they got tackled. So yeah, they have unwritten rules, but those weren't it. We can pull up the film from the players of your time. Those head hunting hits were applauded. They're on highlight reels. How do you feel about Deacon Jones and the way he played, because if I'm not mistaken isn't he in the HOF?

My rule book and the way I was taught to play the game and tackle is quite simple.

The head and feet can fake you out, the numbers never lie. If the numbers move left HE is moving left, always put your face mask in the numbers, wrap, drive, and try to strip.

It's called fundamental football. Hollywood players like yourself missed a lot of tackles going for the head.... Caused a lot of points in open field situations.

Such a paradox.... The Saints couldn't tackle but we condone aiming for the head.

It's like a one handed pop fly catch... Why, what is the point? You have another hand Hollywood, use it and don't risk dropping the ball. Why risk missing the tackles, go for the numbers.

I don't know or care who you were coached by buy bad form is bad form and it leads to bad injuries.

True. Collinsworth went on and on last night after every "big" hit in the Seattle/Whiner game. Roger wants it. The lawyers want it. And I'm not saying that dialing it in a bit is a bad thing really, but i agree with what you're saying.
