Okay lookin at the replay I still say the Al Harris hit wasn't bad at all

Sure there were about 5 Packers around but only 1 was ready to make the tackle

Al was off on the side.. What do u want him to do try to jump on his shoulders?

I'd take AP on down low also.. Sucks u have to do that but how else can u take him down? Expecially a small corner like Al Harris

I highly doubt Al was trying to hurt AP at all

They were all ready to make the hit. Nobody even in the area to block them.

It's not a big deal.. I saw 3 Packers about 7 yards back with AP coming sort of out of position

And one right in front with Al coming along the side

It happened.. No more beeatching about it anymore.. Life rolls on

Wasn't dirty.. There was no penelty.. And he didn't try to hurt him

You can't just put someone on the IR if they are ready to come back even if its just for 2 more games.. If he is out 3 weeks and is close to 100 percent that will give 4 more games he could play in

Dirty and penalty are two different things.

It was dirty because it was unnecessary. IMO

It was legal because the rules say so. FACT

Can we prove that he was not trying to hurt him or he was? NO

The end result: Adrian Peterson is hurt. Seems like a big deal to me.

BTW is Farve hurt? NO!

The hit on AP was dirty as hell.
Harris looked like he went right for the knee.
Was it a helmet to the knee or??
It looked the a helmet to knee hit.
Now on the Farve hit.
That was clean as it gets.
Farve gets all the calls if you dont know this yet. Anything close to a call on Farve will be called.

Favre is never hurt Mad.. Hense all his continuous games played

AP is always hurt..

Sucks it happened.. Ppl need to stop riding his jock so much..

It wasn't a helmet to knee hit.. And it was legal.. Not dirty at all..

Tell me how would u all try to take down AP if he has a few steps on u and ur at his side?

No it was not.
He went low which is 100% legal in football.
You are allowed to take out a players leg.

People just want to think it was dirty cuz we all love AP and we hate the Pack and Al Harris

But I would have done the same thing.. AP could have ripped off a huge gain there if he didnt try to go for his legs

So very true my friend.

If we would have done that to Favre it would've been the greatest thing since sliced bread.

I can't help but wonder though.....Would that same hit on Farve brought a flag??? Everything else seems too!

Al Harris did his job...pure and simple. This is Tackle Football isn't it?? There are already rules for leading with the helmet, spearing, horse collars etc. all Personal fouls.
I didn't see any of that in the Al Harris tackle.

Cheers!
