I'm just glad dawk wasnt in the top 5

cuz announcers would sometimes make comments about him like that… but if you really watched dawk he wasnt taking cheap shots… but when he had a chance you were getting decked

Haynesworth .. what can i say way over paid way to go deadskins

And Haynesworth would know about urgency, heart, and ‘want-to,’ given that he only began to display those traits once he had a $100 million carrot dangling in his face come 2007. Before that, he was just a guy. Now that he’s been paid, he’s not the guy he was during two contract-chasing campaigns in Nashville.

The sadness of retirement

What a void Rodney Harrison has left behind.

I'm surprised

that Roy Williams is low on the list. How many horse collar tackles does this guy have? Too many to count! Then on top of that, Hines Ward is the dirtiest player? Because he broke a defender’s jaw when he was blocking. Defenders need to toughen up because if a WR wants to pancake a defender instead of using his hands to block, let him.

Let offensive players hit defenders and let defenses touch the QB.

Agreed!

I agree 100% you hear all the time about defensive players not being able to hit and wanting to hit other players….then when one of them get decked, absolutely shit-caked by a WR who is what 5’10 and 200lbs. They all say that Ward is a dirty player. I like seeing WR’s (Maclin) blocking with a little heart and passion. I like seeing Maclin downfield leading the way for a TD!!!

Saying all of that, I do think that there are too many rules about the QB. Good lord as long as it’s not a hit at the knees on purpose let them play. Brady is getting calls because he’s married to a super model and has made a name for himself. McNabb doesn’t get that when he was smashed week one 3 minutes after scoring a TD.

Agreed

Let WR block and let the QB get tackled

The two children of these spawned and fused in a tantric love session to create Troy Polamalu. The mother however died as he tore through the birth canal with a spin move."
