We have all these rules to prevent injuries to what makes a quarterback able to be effective (his head, knees, shoulder), and rules to prevent the return team on a turnover play from taking out an offensive player, but what about going at a defender's legs?
Trent Green's hit was just as dirty as any low blocks pout on buy Denver's o-line the past many years, and he could have had his career threatened by it. He didn't intend to cause the injury to Green, it was Green's fault. And in the heat of the game, he couldn't immediately have known something serious had happened to Trent Green. Look at Dallas Clark today. He rolled around like a turtle on it's shell but he came in the next series.
Keith Olberman gave Travis his "Worst Person in the NFL" award this week.
Apparently, Travis was livid that Green hit him so low and was spouting out about Green trying to rob him of his livelihood and taking food from his kid's mouth.
The freaking dude was unconscious on the ground. He was not trying to give him a cheap shot. Yeah, the hit was low, but definitely didn't seem intentional. QB's just don't know how to block. How is he supposed to take out a 300lb defensive end?
Trent Green is as close to sainthood as an NFL player can become. I highly doubt he was trying to cheapshot Travis Johnson.

We're supposed to feel sorry for Trent Green because he's a QB? Trent Green had an uncontested block on a laterally moving defensive lineman in the open field. Anything that goes awry in that situation is due to Trent Green, not Travis Johnson. Incompetence is not an excuse for a dirty block.
If it was your knee, I would bet money that you would be mighty pissed off about it... regardless if he is a "saint" or not.
No doubt in my mind that Olberman has something against the Patriots. He made several offhanded comments tonight. One was that the Patriots were 6 - 0 this season. Anyone want to guess what he meant by that? He takes a shot at them every week.
Yeah, I wouldn't be happy. But I also wouldn't talk smack to an unconscious player on the ground to express my anger.
Don't know about Favre, but I don't recall Brady ever taking a DL out at the knees. I've seen him block, but not chopping a DL who wasn't looking.a lot of QB's throw that block on reverse plays. Brady has done it a few times- i remember the titans playoff game, favre also has done it a few times.
No, feel sorry for the guy laying unmoving on the ground. He just got a knee in the head by a 300# guy and could have his neck broken for all anyone kne at the time. Fell disgusted at the guy standing over an unmoving man he just knocked unconscious, and talking smack at him before even finding out if the guy was paralyzed or even breathing.We're supposed to feel sorry for Trent Green because he's a QB?
