When someone makes an accusation of dirty play, the burden is on them to show some evidence of it. Actually, the fact that Pollard also hit his own teammate in a similar way tells me that it's quite possibly an accident.
Remember when Rodney popped Troy Brown back in 2003? What if Brown had gotten a consussion, would we all have been cussing out Rodney-the-dirty-safety?

The hit on Brady was not "dirty" but if you hit your own QB during practice.... well then I hope you enjoy do wind sprints until you puke.

if I'm his agent, I'm on the phone right now with Vlasic to endorse their pickle spears.
i wonder if he can get a patent on that move?

exactly. while i feel the hit on brady was not dirty and just a guy playing till the whistle blows, you would think he wouldn't do that to his OWN qb.

The nerve that jackass had, to actually do what he has been taught since he put on a uniform... Don't give up on the play! Play to the whistle! Get to the guy with the ball at all cost! Don't quit because you got knocked down! Get back up and make a play! The quotes go on and on.
Calling someone a jackass for playing hard and doing the RIGHT thing that accidentally caused an injury in a violent sport is ridiculous.
Get over it, Brady has! Maybe that is because Brady actually understands what I just wrote. It was a fluke play that was done without malice, no more no less.
Good luck, buddy. I kept saying this last season and got attacked from all angles. You can clearly see who has and who hasn't played football before in their life from the responses you'll get. Well, it's either they haven't played football before or they're just crybabies. Either one works.

It's easy to get over it when you're making millions of dollars and were able to recover from that injury. You and I have had this go around before, but I don't like the fact that Pollard got up just enough to dive at a vulnerable QB. That hit could've easily ended his career. I understand that nobody should give up on a play but Pollard's hit was uncalled for. Your right, it was a freak injury because players are taught to tackle at the waist, not the legs. In my opinion, you're a p**** if you dive at somebody's ankles or horse collar a player from behind.

Well everyone is entitled to their opinion, I just think your stance on this isn't practical.
But I ask you this: Will you call Mayo a ***** when he dives at a RB's ankles to make a tackle at some point in week 1, because he isn't in position to tackle the back at the waist?
In a perfect world you square up, put your nose on the football, get your shoulder in the ball carriers gut, wrap up around the back of the thighs, lift, drive and put the ball carrier on his back. Unfortunately that isn't possible the majority of the time.
And personally, I would rather have dealt with a guy in the stands calling me a ***** - because I made a shoe string tackle - then my coach benching me for quitting on the play.

You obviously missed it because I already covered that in my first post.

I can understand when you are a big TE or a player that is hard to tackle on the move, but when you are standing still, the risk of injury skyrockets.
Shoe string tackles and diving at somebody's knee's when they are stationary are completely different. It's easier to absorb a hit on the move when players dive at your legs, but when you're stationary, 99.9% of the time you will be on IR.

There is a difference between getting up and trying to make a play and getting up to dive at someone's knees. Pollard did the later, not the former.
