Many disagree but Im in the “just because its legal does not mean its not dirty” camp. Warren Sapp a couple years ago… legal but IMO dirty. Hines Ward on any given week… legal (most of the time) but dirty. Speaking of Hines did anyone else see the highlight of him trying to pull behind the offensive line and just getting decleated by Jared Johnson?? Post it if you got it

I think Florio summed it up pretty well…

Actually, Johnson is right. There’s nothing illegal about diving at a guy’s knees in the open field.

That said, most players wish it were illegal. Last year, after a rash of helmet-to-helmet hits heightened everyone’s sensitivity to defenseless players, several players made it clear that they’d rather be hit high than low, since taking a low hit can tear up a knee — and limit or end a career.

Thus, even though Johnson is unlikely to be fined, Johnson could be subject to scorn from his peers.
