Re: Favre's Dirty Block?
I wonder if this had been Tom Brady throwing the block, if the refs would have called the penalty on the guy being blocked.

Re: Favre's Dirty Block?
Correct me, if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure you can block a guy at the waist or below *just like Favre did* as long as you're in front of him. The flag wasn't for any "dirty" or illegal block. The flag was for this:
Crackback: Eligible receivers who take or move to a position more than two yards outside the tackle may not block an opponent below the waist if they then move back inside to block.

Re: Favre's Dirty Block?
Right -- legal block in any other situation. How then could it be dirty?

Re: Favre's Dirty Block?
I see now that I said the flag wasn't for any "illegal block". What I meant was that the flag wasn't for his blocking technique -- just a technicality really.

Re: Favre's Dirty Block?
It wasn't dirty to me.
For it to be dirty, I think there needs to be some sort of intent to injure. I don't see why Favre would be intentionally trying to injure anyone. |

Re: Favre's Dirty Block?
Favre went right at the side of the guy's knee. The dude wasn't even looking, everyone knows that if you dive into the side of someone's leg when their foot is planted, you're going to cause an injury. Favre deserved to get his ass kicked for that play.

"Have Gun Will Travel"......Wire Favre, somewhere in Mississippi. I've often wondered how Tavaris Jackson, Sage Rosenfelds and Chad Pennington feel as a result of being dissed for a walk on the last two years. We know all three are too inteligent to publically state their true feelings. If I'm either of the first two, when the old man gets hurt and I'm called upon, I'm going to remember and my bag is going to be mixed. |

I think that's the problem I have with all the new rules about illegal blocks. If defenders were doing what they're supposed to do, they wouldn't get blown up so much. I don't care if a hit's coming from the blindside, they should have been looking around and known what was coming at them. |
