Around the NFL - 2010

So you think Brandon Meriweather should not be suspended?

I love hard hits and jacked up shots as much as anyone, but the blatant headshots need to be eliminated.

By the way -

Bears rumored to be making a run at Mankins from NE for Tommie Harris and a 4th.

starting this weekend, any shots to the head will result in automatic suspension

fargin idiots!!

dont worry everyone, ill translate from middle aged white dude from farmville into regular speak

"im old and im not changing my viewpoint on this matter"

[Munson]

Fact is a line needs to be drawn, because it's football and headshots are going to happen no matter what you do. Some sort of line between full on and/or intentional headshots/blows to the head, and shots like the one on DeSean where it wasn't a blow to the head and just a hard as farg hit.

Why farging idiots lead with the head is beyond me. I don't remember coaches saying form tackling was using head first. farging idiots.

[Diomedes]

you had coaches in fag football?

[phattymatty]

more proof of the vaginafication of america.

it's football, you're probably going to get hurt. pick another sport if you don't like it.

Romes.

The only hit that looked like it was worthy of suspending the player was Merriweather's.

To make a blanket statement that any shot to the head will result in suspension is excessive force

[General_Failure]

Take out the helmets, then see who puts their head down to make a tackle.

individually harrisons hits probably werent suspension worthy but to have multiple clear head shots in one game definitely should have him sitting

I agree.

Seconded. Didn't the NFL and the purists complain about the XFL and their strippers?

Also something about him showing no remorse and acting as if its good he knocked Cribb's brains out.

That's just how it works sometimes though. Maybe one of them he could have avoided, but the other one Cribbs put his head down...not much Harrison can do about that.

Why should a defensive player show remorse for doing his job well?

[ice grillin you]

cribbs head being down had nothing to do with that hit...harrison came from the side and blatantly went helmet to helmet on him...the second one he tried to do a double forearm shiver into dooks head

no you show remorse for hitting people in the head...and the fact that he showed no remorse shows that he didnt understand what he did wrong which says he probably is going to do it again

[hbionic]

The fact that these athletes don't understand basic physics...at least Newton's 3rd law...shouldn't be surprising to me and I should shut the farg up.

Newton's thirds law and neck anatomy...that's what they should understand. Lead with the shoulder for christ's sake...but with the helmet? See that dumbfarg QB who headbutted the wall.

James Harrison is threatening to retire.  Waah.
