I doubt Gregg Williams is the only active coach to explicitly target players with ailments.

There seems to be a misconception though that fans are bothered by the profanity. I've seen it on Twitter with a few former NFL players. I think it's safe to say that people are use to it especially if they've seen hard knocks. It's clear that the mention of specific injuries and the plan to target them is whats causing the utter sense of shock.
The fact - - or the belief - - that other teams do something similar to what we now KNOW the Saints were doing does not make what the Saints did right. Nor would it make what other teams similarly do right.

Lots of folks are arrested and convicted every year for DUI. That does not make it OK for you to drive under the influence.
