If you think this is wrong. . .

I'd like to point out that our new HC did mention, in his first presser even, that he would emphasize and teach correct tackling.

Only one of two things will happen to Fairley when he gets to the NFL, actually, maybe both:

1. Penalties, fines, suspensions

2. An opposing lineman chop blocking him into a season-ending injury

[pantherj]

The only thing that bothers me is the 15 yard penalty. We'll be lucky to have 15 yards total passing, and I don't want to lose all of it on Fairley getting his jollies.

Kinda hard to argue that it isn't dirty.

The question really is just how "dirty" you're comfortable with.

No it's not hard to argue at all. There clearly was no intent to injure or he could have done much much more. I put it in the same bucket as much of the trash talking thet goes on. Get into the opponents head. Intimidate.

[mj4life]

The only injury there is to his pride.

and the 15 yards he cost his team. but i wouldn't have a problem with him on my team. we could use some attitude on our d & it starts upfront IMO

[Sandy Claws]

What about this one?

or this one?

Way beyond the rules.

I have viewed plays now where it was clearly his intention to take a player out of the game. He would have had 8 games of suspensions in the NFL (possibly more) with what I've seen.

Some of those are linked in this thread, but not that first one. The aggressiveness is desired if controlled. Over the top aggression becomes a liability.

What would happen if this guy were on...let's say...Belichick's team?

One, he either wouldn't be on the team, or, two, he would be put on the first thing smoking.

Be ready to be pwned in 3....2....1....

51 is now 55

[David Duke Is a Bad Person]

You don't kick a guy who is down.

That is a pussy.

Also, a guy who flexes his muscle after putting down a much smaller guy is pussy.

[Galvatron]

And btw, Suh is "dirty" then too.

Remember this on our boy.

That was true Jake though; screaming for the penalty before he stopped rolling around.

[Captroop]

I don't mind a mean streak, but in my book you don't eff with someone's neck; and twisting a guys head into the ground isn't exactly innocuous. If he had don't just about anything else with the same amount of force (punch, kick, shove, elbow), I'd be fine with it, just don't mess with a dude's neck.

[SmootsDaddy89]

Yeah guys, the Pats would never draft a guy like Fairley in the first round. They'd never draft a dude like Brandon Meriweather, who stomped on a dude's head during the UM-FIU brawl.
