"I would have taken a shot"

[Mr. Scot]

Black & Blue Review ‏@BlackBlueReview

RR on hit on Cam near goal line: “It’s a judgement call, but If I was playing, I would have taken a shot.”

 

i get what he's saying, and to be fair Rivera wasn't a dirty player, but I got a bad feeling this may not go over all that well with some folks.

It is the honest answer, and so would all good NFL linebackers. Cam wasn't clearly in from the LB's perspective.

Agree, and I think Newton's hesitation cost him.

But even so, is that really a wise thing to say right now?

No idea what the hell Newton was thinking on that play. He let up and started to stroll in like he was already in the end zone. Happened once before with him against the Saints last year and he got clocked that time too.

Rivera's passion in defense of Cam's health is truly breathtaking.

Gives me the chills.

(That what you were looking for?  P.S. I was being sarcastic.)

Not really "looking for" anything.

I just think it wasn't a wise thing to say in the current situation.

Rivera's not the type to lie, though,  For better or worse, he says what he's thinking.

Admittedly, there are times I wish he didn't, like "They're still learning to play together".

It was a terrible play by Newton and I was surprised as many people here got as upset with the Falcons LB as they did. You can't allow someone to jog into the endzone, because they slowed down. 

What I will say about the play was the hit by Remmers on Jones afterwards is one of the dirtier plays I've seen all year.

This'll end well.

One does have to love the delicious irony of a Saints fan lecturing another organization on dirty play.

It'll go over just fine with NFL fans...and Remmers took up for Cam just fine by falling knee first onto the guy after the play. You can clearly see it in the gif in the other thread...non issue it was a football play...if you don't like that this isn't the sport for you.

You're a Saints fan. You're in no position to call out dirty plays LOL.

One does love the irony of lecturing a Saints fan about dirty play but turning a blind eye to dirty play of your own.

[saints4lifeagain]

What I call ironic:

Complaining about a LB hitting a runner hard at the goal line and the hit being dirty.

Saying dropping a knee to a players head is ok because he shouldn't have hit the football player so hard.

Hippo. Crits.
