totalbirdbrain Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 A number of posters know my feeling about dirty play, but after Pittsburgh's actionthis season, they've got to be amongst the leagues worst offenders.Hines Ward might not have drawn a flag, although his hit on Keith Rivers was at River's blind side,a few more inches and it would have been in the back. As it was he broke Rivers jaw. Oh and it was interesting that Troy P. got the worse part from his attempt to helment to helment of Cedric Benson. This after his stupid comments last week.Both should now face further fines and suspensions. Professional football is dangerous enough withoutattempting to blatantly trying injure someone.

robbyb03 Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Hines Ward is a dirty player when he gets the chance... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethanga62890 Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Have you noticed most great teams are dirty? Titans? Patriots? Bucs? Pitt? All considered dirty teams all have a winning record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clownorg Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 There is a fine line between dirty & pshyical.For the most part, I belive the Steelers are on the Legal side of that line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayOzOne Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 The Steelers do what Coach Smith wants our O-Line to focus on: play until the whistle blows. Rivers got smashed but that's football. If he got chopped or clipped, that would be one thing, but he didn't. IMO, the hit that Warren Sapp laid on that Packer blocker several years ago was over the line because the blocker wasn't in the play or in position to do anything. I didn't think last Sunday's lick was quite the same or as bad. But anybody who doesn't know where Hines Ward is on a play must have forgotten that he's playing the Steelers.

jidady Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Hines Ward is a damned near perfect football player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vafalconfan Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Don't worry, players watch a lot of film and they have good memories. Ward is a receiver. He will get a lick at some point that will make him wonder what city he's in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
