[kmramsfan]

Alright. Enough of this nonsense. Try posting in a different thread because I'm done with your shit storm in this one.

Dude's acting like a troll.

Man, I don’t wanna be the bearer of bad news, but it seems like Stafford is coming down with something. Watch his part of the presser today….hes coughing and his voice is a little raspier than normal. Hes a tough son of a bitch, and will play regardless but don’t be shocked if we get Stafford under the weather news in the next 48 hours.

I just got over that cold..... I just shoved Vics up both my nostrils, and chewed down Vitamin C tablets and it disappeared rather quickly.

Stafford will be fine.

I only played football for 10 years (3rd - 12th grade) but there were 0 coaches that taught intentionally diving at the knees or spearing with the helmet to make a tackle. Penalty or not it’s just shitty technique and dangerous to players.

It really depends what position you play. I played WR and TE my whole football career, and I was usually one of the tallest kids on the field in Jr. All American Football, so I was usually being hit below the waste. In high school by the end of my sophomore year I was 6'-2" 185-190 and that was considered pretty big back in the 70's... (average in todays football).

When I played (and caught the ball) I tried to avoid contact, rather then trying to put a hit on a smaller DB's, but they always went for the thighs and sometimes got the knees. Today when you watch TE's they actually try to put a big lick on those DB's.

Things only got dirty when you were blocking.... lots of hands got stepped on and fingers twisted.

I can see both sides. From defenders perspective, you can’t go high so youre already limited to where you can tackle. And when you are tackling someone bigger than you, you need to make sure you wrap their legs. If you tackle hip/body, higher likelihood of bigger TEs running over you. Remember this is also happening in real-time and it’s bang bang and a lot of time ppl get hurt when they jump and come down and get hit at the same time. Obviously when it happens and someone gets hurt, it sucks but we are talking about 1 or 2 plays out of how many? Zach Ertz also just got hurt during the Vikings/Commodes game like this. Terrible…

Yeah I just listened to todays interview with Stafford, I don't know what he's referring to, he sounds fine.

You can't even prove he intentionally goes at knees so what we talking about? That's your opinion and a very dangerous one that puts a bad publicity on a player who again, made a completly legal play. Newsflash when you get hit below the waist you could get hit in the knee. Blame the nfl for shrinking the legal hit box above the waist. Yall probably hate kerby more fir making a legal hit than Jamar chase for literally spitting on a grown man face and then lying about it. Btw Durant, lake, and kitchens have all been fined for hip drop tackles and hitting defenseless players...are they dirty? Let me guess..no right? Because they're rams?

Watch the tape. If you don’t see an intentional dive at the knees on Higs then we are just seeing things differently. no harm/no foul. Just completely different perspectives.

Kelvin Sheppard is the Lions' DC. He played against Stafford in college (both born in 1988). He went from NFL player to DC in 7 years. I don't know if he's any good, but he seems to handle the podium well.
(@10:53) The view from the other side is that with the Rams 13 package, the plays are playing like it's 11 and 12 personnel
"[McVay] can morph that 13 into anything he wants"
On McVay: "Brilliant, brilliant coach that's doing a damn good job over there."

Yeah, but that’s just all of those snowbirds. Those of us who actually live here are awesome drivers!
