Why has this not been seen in the playoffs?

[Steel Panther]

Why hasn't anyone tried the short safety's equalizer? When a taller, leaping WR goes up for a "jumpball" down-field, stop trying to out leap him for the ball! You're toast. What you should do is take advantage of his air. Plant a driving shoulder into the hamstrings. Result? Sore hammies, and you turn that WR a reverse somersault, likely resulting in a shoulder-first crash to the ground. If he holds on to the ball, at least you've made him earn it! I have grown weary of seeing 5' 10" safeties/corners trying to play jump ball with 6' 3" and above receivers. Cut him a flip!! These are the type of bonecrushing tackles that scare the wits out of receivers, whether they'll admit it or not!

yeah.... make him pay and think twice about going up for the ball...

i am looking forward to polomalu and clark vs. fitz.

I'd imagine the NFL would find a way to fine the player for the hit

[Steel Panther]

You used to see that type of hit a lot in the old days...I remember one game Lynn Swann was victimized by it! Swanny was one of my favs, but he got owned on the play, and if I remember correctly, DROPPED the ball! Point illustrated!

Note to self: Do not go up for the layup against Steel "the undercut" Panther at the Y. Were you coached by Bobby Huggins in the Cincinnati Thugcat days?!

[Cyberjag]

We'll get around to teaching that as soon as we get done covering cut blocks.

[Steel Panther]

It's football, people, a CONTACT sport. Besides, it is a LEGAL hit. As for the basketball remark...in basketball, the move would be a flagrant foul, and rightly so...football is a different beast altogether...shoot! maybe I'm too old. I still remember watching games with bloody noses, torn uniforms, broken bones, knocked out teeth... I guess I'll have to get used to watching the new "civilized" game, custom-tailored to appeal to all the metrosexuals out there. Chai tea anyone?

[Cyberjag]

No thanks, I'm busy enjoying this chocolatini here...

[Steel Panther]

Good, one, cyber. lol

It was just some good nature joking.....hell I appreciate Albert Haynesworth's stomp on any Cowboy's face.!! Make the leaping wideout think twice when jumping for that pass.

better yet, lets give safeties pogo sticks and cricket mallets

[Steel Panther]

I'll bet you'll see the Steelers secondary executes one of these tomorrow. You watch...if Warner hangs 'em high, he'll be hangin' 'em out to dry!!!

[carolinapanther4life]

That was something McCree did good for us. I vaguely remember him having an opportunity for the pick in a few games but hed rather lay the wood on someone. I loved that about him, that cat could hit.
