Re: Favre's Dirty Block?
 

Cheap shot. Favre knows what a legal block is. He has played football for a long time. I don't know who to fault more, the coach who probably told him to go low... or Favre who actually did it.


I'm beginning to dislike Favre for a variety of reasons. This isn't helping his case.

Re: Favre's Dirty Block?
 

I don't think it was intentionally dirty. I think it was just awkward on Favre's part and he didn't really know what to do, and he sort of fell toward Wilson and then tried to slow down or back up.

I don't know why Childress is even lining him up at wide receiver in a preseason game. I understand they want to get Harvin involved in some wildcat formations. But I thought the whole reason you got Favre (old, injured Favre) because you wanted a legit QB who could lead your team and not have to resort to offensive gimmicks.

My thoughts exactly. Why call a play and have your injure prone old Quarterback throw a block in preseason. Which is why I have suspicions that he was told to go low.

[quote=dmek25;582872]for Christ sakes. we are talking about football, right? i would only hope J.C. would at least try to block someone. is this what football has come too? debating whether or not a block is dirty?[/quote]There's a reason there's a rule that the crackback block must be above the waist, it's for player safety. The player being blocked is completely defenseless and to smack him high is one thing, going low has a high probability of injury. I only wish Favre would've blown out his shoulder on the play, would've served him right for such a blockheaded play.

Wow, i love this, a 40 year old quarter back throwing a block gota love Favre.

??? That block was not at all legal and he was rightfully called for a penalty.

Re: Favre's Dirty Block?
 

[quote=CRedskinsRule;582793]I think it was dirty, he went right at the knees, basically exposing his rib that was "cracked".

I think Favre was just ticked to be in a Wildcat formation and took the opportunity to vent.[/quote]

Farve isn't even looking at him when the block is delivered.

I think this is being blown out of proportion just like everything with Favre.

[quote=SmootSmack;582833]You want to see a dirty shot...and if your stomach can handle it (warning: it's really gross). Do a YouTube search for Axel Witsel[/quote]

Wow, that was really gnarly. Ick. That thing snapped like a twig.

Re: Favre's Dirty Block?
 

I wonder if this had been Tom Brady throwing the block, if the refs would have called the penalty on the guy being blocked.

They would have thrown a flag on the defender for making illegal contact with Brady.
