As for the idea that he had to cut him: he did, but you can cut a guy by hitting his thighs. He was putting his shoulder pad on his knee, that's bs in my book. I would have told one of my backs to go after Jason Taylor with the same hit and see how he likes it. I think it should be a legal hit, but the guy still has the right to be pissed. Plenty of people get pissed about legal shots that they think are cheap, this is just another example of it.

I hear what your saying. But it's within the rules and I just don't understand why guys get so bent out of shape over it. If everyone is so worried about it then change the rules. Maybe I'd feel different if I were an NFL player and I had my knee blown out from a chop block or something.
