Hate to bring it up, but while we're debating "overly aggressive" vs. "thug"... AH had his share of oft replayed on-the-field incidents.. I'm willing to overlook it now that he's a Redskin, but I remember being really disgusted that he was only suspended a couple of games for stomping on a guy's face.. Let's hope it's behind him after $100 mil.
Point is, perhaps we're more forgiving when the "thugs" are on our side. Either way, there's a good aggression that doesn't hurt anyone but kicks ass on the field. I sure love seeing Romo & TO getting the living snot smacked out of them..
ps. I miss Sean Taylor, what a freaking defense it could have been. sigh.
