[QUOTE="Clay's Jock Strap, post: 270287, member: 1977"] eJack Tatum played to injure people - permanently. He succeeded with Stingley. People who want to lay a good hard lick IMO are not dirty, they are football players. You are right, there is result and intent. Players get hurt, it is a violent game. The "legal" target zone where you can hit a QB shrinks ever year - as does the ways you can legally bring him to the ground. The game is fast as hell and the difference between getting the guy on the ground and ending a play and maybe a drive and him completing a pass for a first down or score is often a split second. These guys aren't all MENSA members who can quickly do long division in their heads... My point is, much of this stuff is bang-bang. You don't have time to think, "Oh man, there he is but I am on the ground so I can't "lunge at him" so I have to get up and wrap him up around the waste, but if I do I can only hit him above point x and below point y"... It is getting f'n ridiculous - to the point where I think the league should just make the QBs wear flags. Rip it off and he is down. The Saints had a game plan to hit farvre hard and often. They executed it and it got them to the Super Bowl. I don't think they played "dirty" because I do not believe their intent ever was to injure him. If an injury happend as the result of a hard hit, so be it, that's football. Why did nobody cry when earlier in the year favre almost ended Eugene Wilson's year with one of the dirtiest, most chicken **** crack back blocks I've ever seen? [/QUOTE]
