Re: Favre's Dirty Block?
Correct me, if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure you can block a guy at the waist or below *just like Favre did* as long as you're in front of him. The flag wasn't for any "dirty" or illegal block. The flag was for this:
Crackback: Eligible receivers who take or move to a position more than two yards outside the tackle may not block an opponent below the waist if they then move back inside to block.

Re: Favre's Dirty Block?
Right -- legal block in any other situation. How then could it be dirty?

Re: Favre's Dirty Block?
I see now that I said the flag wasn't for any "illegal block". What I meant was that the flag wasn't for his blocking technique -- just a technicality really.

Re: Favre's Dirty Block?
It wasn't dirty to me.
For it to be dirty, I think there needs to be some sort of intent to injure. I don't see why Favre would be intentionally trying to injure anyone. |

Re: Favre's Dirty Block?
Favre went right at the side of the guy's knee. The dude wasn't even looking, everyone knows that if you dive into the side of someone's leg when their foot is planted, you're going to cause an injury. Favre deserved to get his ass kicked for that play.

I'm just wondering had Favre been in the pocket preparing to throw, and a defensive player came in and cross body blocked at/or below his knees' what the reaction would have been. Dirty or not dirty, these are the type plays that have often ended guys career's. A rule has been put in place to protect the QB from these type hits, and so it should be for any defenseless player. |

Re: Favre's Dirty Block?
When I say he deserves to have his ass kicked, it's not because it was intentionally dirty, but because it was a careless action that could have cost someone their career.

Re: Favre's Dirty Block?
Lets face it though, if this were Tavaris Jackson or Sage Rosenfels, we would not have even known about it unless we saw it live.
Favre can spill his Gatorade and it's front page news for a week.
