RutgersJetFan Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 A coach telling a player to kill a guy, knock him out, etc seems pretty normal. Williams took the hyperbole to extremes, obviously, but it seems as though the players kept in perspective, seeing as they never actually went out and acted on it. They didn't seem to cheap shot anyone more than any other physical defense in the league does. Under no circumstances do bribes fall under the category of hyperbole.

RutgersJetFan Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 It's kinda funny listening to some of you guys try to justify this. I don't think anyone is really outraged by hearing stuff like this, but this is straight up Sensei Kreese bullsh*t. I mean come on with some of you. This isn't Nam, there are rules.

RutgersJetFan Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Particularly when your image as the purveyor of a clean sport ruined by a few bad apples is a crucial element of limiting liability for hundreds of millions of dollars worth of CTE cases. "Your honor, I was just trying to motivate my players. I told them to go out and play hard." "You offered them $5,000 to take out their ACL's and punch them in their jugulars."

KSJets Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I agree that this is the point of the game. So when our kids ask us what life lesson the game teaches us, what to we say beyond "being good only gets you so far; champions cheat"?. "Win if you can, lose if you must, but always cheat" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klecko73isGod Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Did they injure anyone? No. And they didnt win the game. I think its safe to say the Saints are not coachable and a bunch of pussies. This is easily your funniest post ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larz Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Seriously, is there anyone here that didn't try to knock your opponent out of a game when playing football. I remember playing left tackle my senior year and trying to clip a DT on a backside block. I hit his ankles and he came up limping. I knew he had bad ankles and made it a point to drill them every chance I got. By the 2Q he was out for the game and i got to block his replacement into the secondary. what a man !

Smashmouth Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 the newsworthy part of this is that people are honestly surprised. that's how you run defenses. and it works. Making comments like "you kill the head and the body dies" in todays NFL is beyond stupid. Even before Goodell came into the league its beyond Stupid. I never ever played for a coach who asked players to go out an injure people, hit them as hard as you can, make them think twice about coming in your area again ?? SURE..... but injure people ? Sorry but that is surpriseing and stupid. Players and coaches leave teams on bad terms all the time so why would any coach with a freakin brain make those comments to an entire lockerroom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#27TheDominator Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 The killing the head sh*t is fine as a metaphor, but the fact that he kept repeating hit him in the head on the pile makes it obvious that he is looking for cheap shots. I've heard this described as a "profanity laced tirade", but that's what's wrong with it. It sounds more like he is calmly reading from a script listing soft spots to cheap shot. You want to talk about hitting guys to keep them thinking? Fine, but this is bullsh*t and I've listened to defensive speeches by guys from every level and never heard much of this bullsh*t.
