That is what I like to see out of my DE's. 100 miles an hour do your job. I dont want you stopping to think about anything he is a piece of meat and you are a predator.

Thats your life Schaub, and as much as the NFL tries to protect you and promote a high flying pass oriented product in order to rake in ungodly ammounts of money from the lemings, you are now and always will be a piece of meat.

I cant say I am sorry the inside of your leg looks like hamburger, and no if it happened to my QB I wouldnt call it cheap I would call it a DE doing his job.

I agree with this

I guess I wouldn't call it dirty I would just call it against the rules

And do you think the NFL is getting away from what made the NFL the NFL?

It's gonna turn into a game of chess soon

I think the NFL is doing what it was created to do which is make money. By tailoring the rules to promote deep passes and explosve offenses it is like seasoning a steak. A cherry on top of an ice cream. The game alone is amazing, to make it so you cant leave your couch because you might miss a 85 yard bomb is brilliant.

I'm not a fan and I enjoy seeing hard hits, attitude, and most importantly effort. I like watching Hines Ward a WR knock the snot out of a guy who is not paying attention and going 50%. I like Jared Allen fighting to get to the QB with the intent of dismembering him. That is what I experienced playing ball, that is what I like in football. So I agree it is against the rules and I enjoy he does it anyways. If he wasnt already making 700 billion trillion dollars I would suggest we pay for his fine.

Agreed 100 percent

I watched clips of older QBs getting demolished and no flags thrown.. And the QBs got up and didn't complain

I remember growing up and seeing the game slowly turn into what it is now and all the flags being thrown and more rules being incorporated

U should post more my friend

It's a tough sport, if you don't like it then get out of the game. Those were down to Allen playing a full speed, maybe if the Texans LT played better then they wouldn't have happened.
This rate the league will be putting players back to flag football

The fine was a big one.

The NFL just announced that defensive end Jared Allen was fined $50,000 for “two plays considered roughing the passer,� according to an NFL spokesman.

“In both instances, he struck the opposing quarterback below the knee area,� a spokesperson said in an email.

So lame.
This really is turning into a pansy sport.
Just let the boys play.

Wow imagine what the fine might have been if it had been a half-decent QB Allen was going after
;D

Ouch, seems pretty severe.
Doubt it will slow him down any though.

WOWWWW

I was thinkin like 10 G maybe

Thats insane

Are they really that straped for cash?

I gotta think they are trying to send a message to players

There is no way that those two borderline dirty hits were worth 50 G

I could see if he put his helmet to his knee.. But he just dove at his legs.. yes I know thats illegal but 50 G? Gotta be sendin a message no doubt

New NFL uniform for QB's
