When one word defines your style of play
Every one is talking about the dirty play of Nine 0. so i ask you this. In a league filled with double standards and rules put in place to protect the golden children of the NFL. WHAT TYPE OF PLAYER WOULD YOU WANT TO BE DESCRIBED AS. If you are considerd soft you are going to be labeled as some one with no drive no motor. what about being labeled as dirty. to me that means you will do anything in that game to get the edge. when i played football the player that was beating us we hit a little harder if it was a pile up you took your shots. every player in this league will tell you what hapens in a pile up. Hienz ward is one of the dirty players but to every one else he is a pro bowl player he takes cheep shots every chance he gets is he being ridiculed no. THIS IS FOOTBALL IT IS AGGRESIVE IT IS VIOLENT AND IF YOU CANT TAKE IT DONT WATCH DONT PLAY DONT GUDGE.

Respected
It’s not as if Dirty and Soft are the only two designations out there. Hines Ward is a great example if you ask me because he’s an extremely tough player who plays within the rules. I obviously don’t watch every Steelers game but in the games I’ve seen, I wouldn’t call him a dirty player. He’s plays extremely physical until the whistle blows but he’s not throwing punches after the whistle or intentionally trying to injure anyone.
You can play with play with aggression and physicality without being dirty.

I don't know
The NFL made a new rule after he broke a “defenseless” defenders jaw. Ward is a good blocker, but some of his blocks appear to be trying to to injure a player, which is what Dockett did.
What? I didn't break it, I was just testing its durability, and then I placed it in the woods becuase it's made out of wood and I just thought he should be with his family.

he "ear-holed" Keith Rivers
Anyone who’s ever played on a punt or kickoff return team (b/c that’s the most common place to get hit’s like that) will tell you that’s the best block you’ll ever lay on a guy. At the time it was completely legal and didn’t warrant a flag or even a fine from the league office. Not to mention that the hit in question was at least between the whistles, as opposed to well after the play was over and a guy was laying on his back.

The NFL makes rule changes every year because players like Ward find ways to bend the rules.
Yeah he was spot on but what’s the difference between laying a good block and laying a player out completely?

Feared
I want them to be afraid to tackle me, or get burned by me, and plant the seed in the back of their head that i’m gonna make em look silly (see AD) … the mind game + the physical is the key
Ps. Hines Ward is considered a dirty player because hes ended 3 NFL careers with crack back blocks (including a rookie 2 years ago) … when you end a guys career, intentional or not, guys look at you differently

Don't remember
… and I may have embellished, 3 serious injuries may have been better explanation
Kieth Rivers of the Bengals was one, an Eagles CB or S was another if I remember correctly
but don’t take my word for it … how about the players themselves

exactly what I thought
No career ending injuries……there’s a huge difference between season ending and career ending.

don't jinx us man
season ending injury’s can be everything to a team
… look at Troy Polamalu in Pitts, without that guy they may not make the playoffs … with him they are the favorites

A Football Player
That’s as simple as it gets for me. I’d like to be known as a football player.
The game of football is inherently violent and people that CHOOSE to play the game are going to get hurt.
In the course of every football game there are tackles, piles, sacks, etc…and in many of those plays you’ll have any number of bad mutha crunchas going to the grass fast and coming up from the grass fast.
I GUARANTEE there is not a single game of NFL football that is played in which SOME player doesn’t get a fat elbow to the throat.
The only difference between every other game played and this Dockett situation is that it happened to Hasslewuss, and he and his mom, Junior, are the biggest crybabies in the NFL.
“Waaaa! I got hurt! Waaaaah! The officiating!!! WAAAAHHH”
Pffft! These girls sound like my six year old daughter when she loses at Pickup Stix.
I’m tired of weasley little QB brats in the NFL that are for some reason expecting the other team to give them a bubble bath on the field of play.
If you don’t want to get hurt, then don’t play the game of football!! Move on and go play some cats’ cradle or by all means, Pickup Stix!
But whatever you do, quit polluting the game of football with this baby-cry-pout-huff&puff thing that Hasslepanties and Junior have been infecting us all with since freaking Monday.
Man!
