albeit, illegally

Taylor's hit was FAR more crushing. The two hits are just so different. Kennedy had his eye on the target, went in for the tackle, and just got punished, but he DID make the tackle. Taylor's hit was harder, but the guy didn't even see it coming. It's a lot easier to wreck someone when they have no idea it's coming. Whatever, they're both fun to watch.

True that, but I thought that would be a tripping penalty.?.? Big Mike does not avoid contact, he looks for it. I really feel that Big Mike is a huge play maker, and gets the team hyped-up when he touches the ball. Good things happen when he touches the ball. Hopefully Portis can start to turn it up a notch now. When that happens this team will open up Pandora's Box.

I think it's only tripping when you use your feet to make a tacke/block. He just keep Sellers' legs wrapped up. But yeah, that Caveman is something special. Quick feet, soft hands, mean streak, can catch, run, block, he's a leader, scores TD's, and oh yeah, he's 285 lbs. Love the guy. True Redskin right there.

Also, it was kind of pitiful to watch afterwards as guy was laying on the turf struggling, and spitting-up whatever. Wow. It appears that this team is playing with a little attitude, and that is a good thing.

If you watch the play closely you can see him literally lock both his legs around on of sellers'.

We dominated them physically in every aspect. That's always been a Gibbs/Williams/Bugel focal point. And it seems like we have the size, strength, and are developing attitude to push some teams around. Guys start to wither when they're punched in mouth play after play. If we can out-physical teams we're in great shape.

Yeah I thought Kenoy was a big hitter. He got the tar knocked out of him and tackled like a girl. Sellers flexed to show how much he cared about the dirty tackle. He's going to run over Al Harris this week.
