Carlos Rogers Essentially said that they were trying to knockout our players
Why is that O.K. (they didn't only say it but they went out and did it). Sometimes bravado in the locker room is just that but here he talks like its part of the game...after today you have to wonder how he can say what he says in the video the Niners not be disciplined.
listen to 1:25 on.
How many players did they knock out of games this year....(like 8-10) How many did we knock out (we would have been lucky to have knocked out 1)
INTERVIEW: Carlos Rogers - 49ers Cornerback | Video | news10.net
Its because its part of the game....you want to knock a guy out within the rules. The hit on Pierre was legal and within the rules. Period.
The hi low hit on Favre while illegal was obviously NOT PLANNED. For two defenders to decide to go high low@ split second moment..especially if they don't know they are going to sniff the QB is impossible.
Its dumb to even think its possible
Attempting to knock a player out of the game is a part of football.
You don't think the Iggles were excited about Laying Reggie Bush out back in 06? It was within the rules and it was a hell of a hit. The object is to inflict pain not cause injury. Screw the league and screw anyone else who attempts to argue otherwise. Obviously this was not a bounty the way its being painted.
A bounty on a player would involve me attempting to knock him out by all means. Blow to the kidney, cheapshot, twisting his kneck, uppercutting his testicles, twisting his ankle under the pile, aiming for a knee.
^^ This in my eyes would be a bounty on a players head.
Now you show me where saints defenders were doing anything illegal/cheapshottish tht was
meant to injure a player and I'll digress. Other than that Goodell is full of whale blubber.
