Not necessary with Jete quarterbacks, though. They come pre-shaken.
Honestly can't remember the last time anyone was fearing a Williams defense. Just a complete loser.
I am probably older than a lot of posters here and I hate to support JetFan79 but what he is saying was true. In HS, film review was basically a highlight replay of all the good plays especially big hits. You really lit someone up, you got a reward. In HS it was a helmet sticker.
Same thing in College, Film review was a teaching moment for the coaches but it also served to fire the players up and reward them for good plays especially big hits. It was a source of pride when I had more stickers on my helmet than you did. I may have had "psycho" coaches but i remember a couple players getting a sticker for an unbelievable hit on a player when we gave up a touchdown. 2 of our players absolutely drilled a receiver as he went up to get a pass. Boom, took him out of the game with what had to have been a concussion, unfortunately the ball went up in the air down into the hands of another opposing player who ran untouched to the end zone. Come Monday film review, both players got stickers. and with the stickers bragging rights. I think part of what Williams did in NO was just a continuation of this kind of thinking. HS and College, stickers are important. When you get to the pros, money is important. Everyone puts their money in the pot and the biggest hit wins the prize especially if the opposing player is carted off. It sounds like the gladiators, but that was the way it was. I never played pro so I am just inferring that part of it, but I was there when it was going on in HS and College. Maybe Ken can address the thinking in the pros. I am somewhat familiar with what Williams was accused and convicted of. But I look at it as mostly an extension of the same stuff I saw in HS etc. Is he a great guy? I don't think so. Should he have been suspended? Probably. but mostly fr the lying and cover up, IMO. Did Goodell screw up the whole situation beyond belief. Of course. That is what Goodell does. He is an idiot. NO got screwed over by the NFL the same way NE did at least twice. End of long rant.
Busy time as team equipment manager, eh?
All I care about is NE and in NE proper tackling technique per NFL rules are taught. There’s a reason a clown like Brandon Merriweather rightly failed in NE. It’s a loser mentality.
Don't conflate aggressiveness and hitting hard with intent to injure/knock guys out of the game. You say you're "somewhat familiar" with what Williams did; you need to familiarize yourself further (links are provided early in this thread). The B.S. he concocted crossed the line.I am probably older than a lot of posters here and I hate to support JetFan79 but what he is saying was true.

Sure, as likely his offspring will, too.
No, he won't be in the Hall of Fame. His record as head coach was a blistering 55-55-1. Aside from that, he was a profane hothead whose parental abuse made his sons into obese psychos. "Routinely celebrated and adored"? Hardly.
Plus he had a terrible right cross.
