Shawn Springs

The commentators kept raving about that guy's block earlier in the game. I really didn't understand why they thought it was such a great block. He hit Ryan Clark, knocked him off balance, but didn't even put him on the ground. It was pretty weak if you ask me. Yet, according to them, it was great.

Yeah I don't know what they were crowing about either. He just grazed him, it could have been a great hit and I think they decided to talk it up like it was. It really wasn't anything special.

I'm surprised on the Springs hit they didn't give any mention to Washington who drilled McNabb out of bounds on the same play.

If McNabb had not gotten up from that hit, there would have been a lot to say about it. But with two big hits on the same play and one of them requiring a cart to come on the field to remove an immobilized player, the other hit takes a backseat.

Someone said the if Taylor had made that hit he'd be suspended for a year. Maybe, maybe not.

But if Taylor had made that hit, there would be a dozen people on here claiming that he was a beast and that he was great. So why isn't Parry a beast too...?

I was just wondering why they didn't mention Washington's hit since it would have added to their commentary on how hard hitting the game was.

Because we are REDSKINS FANS. Is it all supposed to be rational and logical here? C'mon!!! Our guys wear burgundy and gold, their guys wear puke green. Etc.. Etc...
