New Orleans Saints/Washington Redskins: Bounty Hunters

[Hog1]

I think if he may have ended my career as well.....I haven't played a down since..

Nothing new our coach had $5 bounty on QBs in Pop Warner football.

Clayton just said on Sportscenter that it is UNLIKELY the Redskins will face any sanctions from their bounties. Too far back in the past.

Add to it that it wasn't known about from the organizational standpoint and most of the players from those teams are out of the league, it would be unfair to penalize the 2013 Redskins for something a coach who has been with 3 other teams since did back in the mid 2000's.

That's great news!

Matt Bowen is on sports center right now talking in detail about the bounty system with the Redskins. He said it was supposed to be clean hits, not purposefully to hurt someone.

I don't recall the player, but I saw a clip of a NFL that did this. It was pretty blatent, but he used to write the targets number on his waist towel.
This could also explain LL play at safety the past couple of years. F@ck the tackle, just lay them out.

no, that just LL.

and i don't know why people are so surprised or defensive about it. We caused a LOT of opposing injuries when GW was here, and playing after the whistle was pretty common too.

people are always going to want to take out the other guys QB though, it just makes sense if you want a better shot at winning. but an illegal hit is still an illegal hit, and they all violated the NFL's contract law, which is sorta like getting capone on tax evasion, but there's that too.

Heck in 2010 we got 2 of our 6 wins by knocking the starting QB out of the game in games against Philly and Tennessee.

There's a fine line between good hard clean football, and taking things too far.

Paying players to intentionally injure players is taking it over the line. It's amazing that some think that's part of the game, or just football.

It's not.

But have they with 100% certainty authenticated the claims that the Saints were doing this to intentionally hurt and injury other players? Because a lot of current and former players have come out saying that this kind of thing is league wide and has been for some time but as a motivation for clean hard hits. Matt Bowen was interviewed on SportsCenter earlier and talked all about the Redskins program under Gregg Williams but claimed it was for legal hits.

And others have claimed the exact opposite from what Bowen is saying.

So how do they determine what it truth and what is false? It's players words vs other player's words is it not? Where did this story even break from in the first place? I'm not saying this didn't happen, but unless they were stupid enough to write down everything or record it in some fashion, I don't even see how this can be authenticated as fact.
