@mrrusss without throwing it forward along with other infringements but overall it's is a concept more easily grasped by people, and it's a lot more exciting as well.
@mrrusss I would argue that rugby is actually an easier game to follow, and as an avid fan of both I can tell you rugby overall is more exiting. Granted football has its moments like Brady's last drive in the Super Bowl this year, but rugby is all out 80mins of contact and physical endurance where as NFL has lot of pauses in it. Furthermore, many people get confused with the penalties and downs in NFL, where as rugby the objective is just to score over the line, without throwing it forward alon
People hit harder when they have padding or helmets. How many head on collisions do you really think there would be if their were no helmets. It's like bare knuckle boxing. Back in the old days there were fewer head trauma cases because you would break your hand by continually punching someone in the head. Also the safer people feel the more likely they are to take more risk. It's counter intuitive but it is fact.
OH really Oliverschannel1 , this block seemed perfectly legal and fair to me, the titans player saw Hines coming and Hines layed his ass out, simple as that. People like you are the reason football is becoming so soft. and learn2spell, it's ***receiver***
@oliverschannel1 your just some douchebag saying that because the Steelers are so amazing and you can't handle it bro he an't cheap and dirty thats just what you call Steelers Football sir. :)
What the fuck do u want him to do tap him on the shoulder first and tell him "hey I'm going to block you real quick" everyone complaining about this has obviously never played football
That's _exactly_ what they all want when they talk about Ward being a "cheap-shotter." That, and they also want him following 2010 rules in 2004, or whatever.
lmao, defenders do that all the time dumbass, and everyones all "omg what a hit, he killed him" but the second an offensive player does the exact same thing to a defender, he is a "dirty" player
@17DEMONHUNTER A defender would get a $20,000 fine for a hit like that. Leading with the crown of the helmet into the head of somebody who isn't looking at you isn't dirty?
@17DEMONHUNTER thats cause when you have the ball everyone tryies take u down, but blocking is 1 on 1, you get a flag if you are an offenive player and hit the legs of someone while other is blocking the guy, its called shopblock, but if u have the ball people can hit all your body at same time, thats why on blocking u can hit helmet to helmet
@UGLYSTIKCOLIN i dont know how he didn't get flagged since that guy wasn't looking....it's a rule that you have to tell the guy you're about to hit him, right?
@MrTahhmatee Whats this british shit? looks like a bunch of pussies who dont need padding cus they hit like a bunch of 2 year olds. When i see a rugby player make a hit like ray luis, talk to me
it seems that you havent even bothered to look for videos of big rugby hits. When you do bother to go and see some youll notice that theres alot of tacklers like ray lewis. kiss a baby
@lilsaint94DW Leguizamon the Argentinian hit Shabal harder in the 2007 world than any NFL hit. Look it up if you want. Or look up Sonny Bill Williams, Shalk Burger. Any of these players would put NFL pussies on their asses. Type in really hard rugby hits, watch the first video and then tell me the NFL is harder. Whats more rugby is a real mans game. None of the padding shit so you dont get hurt, you just smash them with what you got!
I tried watching rugby, or Austrialian rules football, or whatever it was. It was a mix between boredom and confusion. There was some kind a group circle jerk, and then they started playing soccer with their hands. You just have to face that NFL football is the best sport. But rugby players are tough, there's no doubt. It's just wasted on kind of a stupid game.
@MrTahhmatee pretty sure if your down-graded country had the NFL moved there along with all the athletes in the league, rugby and soccer would die there. Not america's fault your county doesnt have as great as athletes as we do. GOML
@shaup07...what the hell are you talking about? Hines gets up and SMILES when he gets hit! Are you kidding me? That's the dumbest statement I've ever heard? Hines Ward is one of the best players in the national football league and a huge professional. He knows what's legal, and what's not. He never makes illegal hits...everyone else is just a bitch for thinking he's dirty.
If you use your head to lay someone out it doesn't make you tough, it makes you a dirty ass player, and that's all Hein's Ward is, granted it's always funny seeing the Titans, who love to talk shit, get laid out
@RunWithTheLight you of course realize the stupidity of your argument right? if he uses his helmet, he is doing as much damage to himself as the defender, quit crying little girl. he always aims to put his helmet in the defenders chest, that's what you're supposed to do
heads are on top of a human body (if you didn't know) shoulders are below them, so it's hard to not involve one or the other in a tackle
"sniff sniff, snivel snivel, hines is a big meanie"
@banklikefrankwhite1 yeah but they fine defenders for helmet to helmet hits or leading with the helmet but guys like this get off without even a penalty.
@shaup07 this was before goodell started going crazy with the fines. trust me if it happened today, he'd get fined. plus you have to realize that the refs probably aren't looking in that direction, the ball is 10-15 yards behind the play, and on the other side of the field (but as you can see it ends up going that way)
@JLE102191 your dumb as hell a spear block!!? you probably never even played a down of football in your life. there was nothing dirty about that hit at all!
this shit happens all the time......calm yo tits down. Hines did his job, made sure the motherfucker the was out of the play. what more can you ask for? shit ya'll be like clean clean hit if another player did the same thing to hines ward. calm down man it's football, you either smack or get smacked.
@NumbuhoftheBeastBurg LEARN THE RULES!!!! You CANNOT make helmet to helmet contact!! That can end a man's career! Perhaps if Ward hit you in the same fashion you would feel differently.
@NumbuhoftheBeastBurg I didn't say whether or not it was because it does not matter. Late hits, pass interference, facemask, chop blocks - whether intentional or not they are still illegal. But now that you ask, considering the sheer volume of these plays we see from Hines Ward, yes I would say it is intentional.
have you ever played defense??? they teach you to lead with the helmet.....a runningback always leads with his helmet....why do you wear one if you are not going to use it?
@marck1293 Ha! What defense have you been playing?! Hitting someone with your helemet is the easiest way to give the other guy a concussion. That's different, the back is trying to protect the ball which is why he gets low. Uh, you use it to protect your head?
@kilox10001 na if ward hit me like that i would congratulate him after the game and i have played football and i still do im defensive end dumbshit the point of blocking is to take the defender out of the play and thats exactly what ward did so shut the fuck up
@kilox10001 shut up your the fuken pussy its football grow a pair of balls what are you gonna say next to use pillows to hit or is hitting to much?????????
@kilox10001 listen ok im not gonna argue with some idiot who dont know what he talking about. Ward is a fucking warrior who plays FOOTBALL WHICH IS A HARD HITTING CONTACT SPORT.
@kilox10001 then what the hell are helmets for?? Looking good?? i mean you have it on use itto your advantage, if you wanted he could cut block them and take out there knee would that make you happy?
@kilox10001 listen fuckhead, i am a bears fan, and i hate the steelers. but Hines is a perfect example of how football should still be played. and i admire the way he plays, hes not the best receiver...did i say that??? NO i said thats how it should be played fuckstick
@kilox10001 what are you 12? are you seriosly defending the way the game is played today...its football this is a perfect example of how it should be played,nothing dirty about it just perfect crazy ass hits!!!!
@kilox10001 first off, he led with his forearms. did he hit him with his helmet? yeah, it looks like it a little bit. but ed reed wasn't a defenseless reciever/player. he was looking right at hines ward when it happened and it's his fault if he didn't defend himself. and btw you never played football. don't lie. i can tell by the comments you post. you're soft.
@kilox10001 judging by your comment, i can see that you've never played football a day in your life and you clearly base your arguments off roger gooddell's present-day "pussy era" of football.
It would have been better if he did that to Cortland Finnegan.
