New Orleans Saints/Washington Redskins: Bounty Hunters

I lost all respect for Williams and the players that went along with it. I understand players trying to make hard hits, but any player or coach promoting hurting another player, should not play or coach in the NFL. After seeing that hit against Manning, it made me sick to think that Carter or Daniels got a bonus because they hurt Manning.

Is there a link to that video.

Never mind I found the video and it just looked like one was hitting him high as another hit him low from different directions.

This pretty much sums it up for me.


You are rewarded your whole life as a football player for doing spectacular things or for making good plays. It starts off with stickers on helmets, and later transcends to money at the professional level. I think people get the wrong idea about these types of pools. I don't think coaches(or most of them) are telling guys to maliciously hurt the guys, but if you knock them out (with a clean hit) than you get bonus. Listen, those guys going to hit the players just as hard whether there is no money on the line or not. It's just in the pros, the money takes place of a sticker on a helmet.


Nothing to see. Move along.


The one problem here though is that the Siants were told to stop and didn't. Now that is going to probably draw some sort of discipline.

Exactly.

Everyone keeps saying it was a legal hit. THAT IS NOT THE POINT!!!!! THE POINT IS THAT THEY GAVE BONUS'S FOR INJURING PLAYERS!!!!!!!!

there is a good video from the backfield on nfl.com, i'll try scratching around for it

Well in this case the coach WAS telling guys to injure the opponent- which is a big part of the reason this is such a big deal.

There are plenty of former players on ESPN, etc saying that they used to give/get rewards for things tackles for a loss, interceptions, etc. I've got no issue with that.

To me the whole thing is intent to injure. Can't go out looking to put a guy on a stretcher intentionally.

I blame it all on this guy, the original bounty hunter. Sweep the leg.
