The hit that could end Stewarts career... you make the call...

Legal/clean hit, just a bad outcome. The guy who made the tackle was at a size disadvantage. DBs are taught to go low when they are tackling someone with a size advantage.

I hate the Saints as much as anyone but I can't get upset over this hit.

They did that to Olsen several times last night. They were clearly targeting our players knees.

Hit in the thigh and wrap up like a man. I wish Stew would've ran his *** over and planted him on the ground. The Saints defense is dirtier than a rednecks truck after going mudding on a rainy day.

So what is your solution? Let guys go senile but hey! They can walk!!

 

Exactly saying there is no solution.  Saying that a lot of players if they put it to a vote and a lot of veterans would say they would rather take the chance at a high hit then a low hit.  No matter what its a physical game and that's why they get the big bucks to play.  They assume all the risks for our entertainment.  I've haven's seen the stats yet but know ACL blow outs are on the rise this year....KEEP POUNDING!!!

Legal tackle yeah.

 

But the guy hit the ground before his "tackle." I realize it's all fractions of a second we're talking about but it looked more like a chop block than a tackle.

[Stumpy]

It was nice while it lasted Stew :(

Not really, unfortunately.

It's legal and I didn't really see it as dirty... From the angle the tackler took, he probably couldn't have determined that JStew was absolutely heading OOB, so he did what he to to make sure...

The Saints are a generally dirty team, and obviously idk what the guy was thinking but I didn't think that play was dirty...

Legal, of course.  And Drew Brees' MCL, ACL, and PCL are also fair game.  Oh wait.

 

His knees better have a bullseye on them in two weeks.  To hell with 15 yards.

Frankly im over Stewart, other than not wanting another human being to be injured, I could care less and frankly not suprised when I heard he got hurt again. He is as good as cut already as far as im concerned.

[Mr Mojo Risin]

Stew should have used the stiff arm to protect his lower body

[SOJA]

Won't end his career if it's only the MCL.

 

 

 

could definitely end his career as a Panther

[PanthersClinic]

It's a malicious hit. You can't go at someone's legs like that with a good conscience.

 

But I also understand smaller corners simply can't bring down people like JStew and Tolbert. Gronkowski also was taken out on a similar hit. The NFL will have to eventually address these types of hits. They're just blatantly dangerous.

 

Anyone in the NFL would have been injured on the hits Gronk and Stew took this week. The human knee can't take a 200 pound body flying into it directly. Eventually a bigger player will be taking out on that sort of hit and then it'll be addressed. Maybe someone like Calvin Johnson.

[chknwing]

I think its a clean hit. Jstew just has glass legs.

[KJ89]

Stewart was lowering his shoulder you either get trucked or hit him low. With Stewart lowering, that was the only place to hit him without hitting him head to head.

Player safety!!

[Hawk]

legal hit, yup.  Unfortunately, you could freeze frame a dozen of these every game I think...ok...a dozen might be a bit much, but I can guarantee it happens more than we want.
