Is this good for the league as far as player safety and second, should we fear the Saints D?

[Panthro]

I watched the replay of the Houston/NO game and watched Tracy Porter try and take out Andre Johnson by going right at his knee. Total cheap poo

There's a big difference between aggressive and dirty... he's dirty.

Can a coach be fined for "encouraging" dirty hits?

Post needs to be moved, but the short and long of it is that we simply need to do the same thing. If they hit us late or rough the passer, do the same to Brees. For every shot they give us, give them 2 back. When NO realizes it is hurting them when Brees go down for a few games, Payton might put a muzzle on his. Until then of course it to their advantage to play dirty. 75% of the time they will get away with it.

Not usually unless he names a particular player or puts a bounty out there or something that can be proven when it happens. Otherwise the fine is on the player.

Being dirty got them to the Super Bowl. They spent the whole NFC Championship game cheap shotting Favre. Call me crazy, but if that's what it takes, I'd be all for it.

Greg Williams is a dirty POS. After what he said he was going to do to Steve Smith, I've been hoping for someone to cheap shot Brees.

[OneBadassCat]

If the Saints defense ever cheap shot our guys again I'll go dive into Brees' knees myself. Though I think Beason would probably go crazy anyway.

[The Faceless]

Of course if we played ***-for-tat with them on the cheap shots, we would be the ones getting the flags. God forbid anything happens to Golden Boy Brees and the Super Taints.

[Dpantherman]

Its really pathetic. and yet Greg Williams gets so much praise for his work. What goes around comes around.

May or may not be us that does it, but someone will. And the same Saint fans that cheer Williams now will be the ones that cry the loudest when someone cheap shots Drew Brees.

[Bodybag]

Gregg Williams is a big meanie.

That's what I can't wait for
