The Saints are just begging..

[Mecca]

To get a bunch of penalties in the Superbowl. What kinda dumbass team announces publicly they want to injure the QB and aren't above taking cheap shots to do it?

Gregg Williams suggests the Saints want to injure Manning
Posted by Mike Florio on January 28, 2010 8:48 AM ET
During their march through the playoffs, the New Orleans Saints have battered and bruised (and nearly broken) two future Hall of Fame quarterbacks -- Kurt Warner of the Cardinals and Brett Favre of the Vikings.

They're now setting their sights on a third man whose oversized forehead eventually will be memorialized in bronze.

Defensive coordinator Gregg Williams recently told a Nashville radio station that the Saints plan to rattle Colts quarterback Peyton Manning by hitting him whenever they can, and that the goal is to knock him out of the game.

"This guy's got a great clock in his head," Williams told 104.5 The Zone, via ESPN.com. "The big thing is that he throws the ball so early that we're going to have to do a good job of finding ways to get to him and when we do get to him we're going to have to make sure he gets a couple 'remember me' shots when we get there."

The Saints applied several "remember me" shots to Favre on Sunday, prompting many a Vikings fan to utter a phrase that for broadcast television purposes would be edited to sound like "forget you." One such hit to Favre's legs didn't draw a flag, even though NFL V.P. of officiating Mike Pereira admitted last night that a roughing the passer penalty should have been called.

And Williams won't be reeling in his troops for the Super Bowl. Instead, it sounds like he's willing to risk a few 15-yard walk-offs if it means that Manning eventually will be carted off the field.

"When you put too much of that type of worry on a warrior's mind, he doesn't play all out," Williams said. "If it happens, it happens. And the only thing you'd like for me to say is that if it happens you hope he doesn't get back up and play again."

You hope he doesn't get back up and play again. (We wonder what Archie thinks about his former team's objectives?)

In other words, "We'll gladly trade a penalty or two if it means that we get to see Curtis Painter instead of Peyton Manning."

In other words, the NFL should consider fining not only the players when dirty hits are applied to quarterbacks, but also their coaches.

[Mr. Flopnuts]

They've been doing it throughout the playoffs.

[Mecca]

They've been doing it throughout the playoffs.

You better be quiet dude, saying you think they were taking cheap shots at Favre is not cool cause he's Satan and all.

[Hootie]

they aren't good enough to hurt Peyton

[cdcox]

I predict an ejection.

[Bugeater]

I'll be pissed if they start throwing flags on the same shit they were letting them get away with doing to Favre and Warner.

[Bowser]

I predict an ejection.Premature?

[Ceej]

If you can't beat 'em, hurt 'em??

[BigMeatballDave]

They didn't get flagged on the hits they took on Favre. But, after last week with all the cheapshots on Favre and Sanchez, I'm thinking the officials will be on the lookout.

[Pushead2]

Begging to get their asses handed to them in the Super Bowl period.

[smittysbar]

I hope Peyton tears them a new ass

[Pushead2]

I hope Peyton tears them a new ass

agreed

[verbaljitsu]

In fairness, the Saints were flagged on some of the hits on Favre. I can remember at least one of them that was dubious.

I agree that its pretty stupid to go out and publicize malicious intent. The Saints risk unfavorably influencing the officials and Drew Brees' safety.

[Mastashake]

It bothers me how they're okay with it. Is this the team I want to win?

But then I look at it and wonder if its like hitting a baseball player so he'll freak when you throw high and inside. Or hacking someone for fouls in basketball.

It isn't really different than either of those two. But it feels different.

It's different because buzzing a guy is one thing, it's another to fully admit you'd like to injure someone.

If anyone cheapshots Manning there will probably be a fight.

[Titty Meat]

Way to represent your shitty city Saints.

[RustShack]

Manning WILL get hurt, the Colts WILL lose, and there will be a HUGE controversy forcing the NFL and NFLPA to not reach an agreement killing the cap to enter a lockout and end mankind as we know it.

[Titty Meat]

If Manning gets hurt there will be more stupid rules.

[Mecca]

The odds of him getting hurt are so low, guy doesn't get hurt and if the Jets couldn't get him how are the Saints going to?

[Titty Meat]

The odds of him getting hurt are so low, guy doesn't get hurt and if the Jets couldn't get him how are the Saints going to?

To do it to him it would be so ridiculously obvious that it would probably incite an ejection and or fight.

It's the only way they can win. The funny thing is Drew Brees isn't the biggest guy in the world. It's pretty fucking stupid to announce it to the media. Maybe if Manning were a rookie it would make sense.

[007]

this had better not end up being a penalty laden game. I will be pissed.

[Mecca]

Well if the Saints don't play like retards we probably won't have a problem.

[Mecca]

I added the story that goes with that to the thread header.

[PornChief]

Freeney and Mathis can play that game too I suspect.

[Chris Meck]

I just doubt that this is going to be an issue. Of course, the idea is to hit Manning. That's the only way, in his entire career, that you can throw him off his game. You look at any friggin' game he's ever lost, that's how you do it. To do it late? against the rules? dirty? Ehhh... I don't think that's going to work out for them. Like one or two late hits and it'll be pretty obvious that something wrong is going on and ejections everywhere. I just don't buy it. That's really not how they played all year, and I think it's a pretty classy bunch of guys overall. I could be wrong (Dane, feel free to call me a pussy here!) but I think this is much ado about nothing.

[Mecca]

If they blitz a lot they'll get killed....

[007]

Heart and Soul

[ChiefGator]

It was pretty bad in the Vikings game since they were obviously trying to hit Favre even after the play was over. And the lunge at the back of the legs wasn't even called. During that game, I started to think they need to actually rachet UP qb protection; first time I had thought that in a while. When it is obvious the team is taking that approach, they penalties should get more and more severe. And maybe even start ejections. Penalty kick?! :: chuckle ::

[The_Doctor10]

Good God dude, come on. The defensive coordinator says he wants to put hits on the QB??? Stop the fucking presses. That's the whole point of playing defense. Not just sacks; hits will probably play a bigger role anyway.

Now, if he'd said 'we want Manning to put his mouth on the curb' that's different, isn't it?

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

I hope they kill the sonofabitch dead.

[Rukdafaidas]

If they blitz a lot they'll get killed....

Amen!
It'll work for a while. Then Manning will start taking advantage of it. I've never seen a better QB against the blitz.
Gregg Williams is smart enough to know this. I think he's just posturing.

[Crush]

The pussification of the league has really gotten to some of you. NEWSFLASH: That is the defense's job. I personally hope they knock Manning out of the game, just to hear some of more from your bleeding vaginas.

[the Talking Can]

oh no, a football team wants to hurt the QB....

[kstater]

Mecca's still crying about the way his favorite team lost?

That being said ,if I was Williams I'd put in a third string linebacker to get the ejection.

[King_Chief_Fan]

The Mannings are already all over this. Mailing the league office, the refs and whoever will listen. Those cry babies will work this to their advantage

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

And if I were the Colts and Manning got knocked out , I'd make damn sure Brees was carted off the very next series.

[suds79]

oh no, a football team wants to hurt the QB....

Shouldn't that be the job of every DC? Rattle or hurt the QB and you win.

I only hope Romeo goes into games next year for us with the same gameplan.

[notorious]

If they blitz a lot they'll get killed....

Yep, we are basically looking at a Chiefs-Colts matchup from 03 and 04.

The Chiefs didn't get killed, but they lived and died by turnovers, just like NO.

[TheGuardian]

Stop the fucking presses! You mean a defensive coordinator says he thinks they need to hit Manning a lot??????????

WTF is that guy thinking!?!!?

Mecca your pussy has been hurt more than anyone I've ever seen these entire playoffs. Put some vagisil on it and shut the fuck up for a while whining bitch.

[MOhillbilly]

haha. A coach in the NFL gives something other than a blanket statement and the wolrd stops on its axis? I love it.

pop his gonads out coach!

[BucEyedPea]

So they're going to pull a Pollard on Manning intentionally?

Its fucking football dude. Did you ever play the game of football?

[KCUnited]

Peyton has the intestinal foreheaditude to stand in there, he ain't scared.

[Chiefnj2]

What a bunch of babies on this board. You win games by hitting the other teams QB. Williams didn't say anything about hitting him late or playing dirty. He talked about getting to Manning and making contact.

Here's a couple of takes from something else I read....


Will Smith

"We get paid to stop the run and sack the quarterback and hit the quarterback," Saints defensive end Will Smith said. "Defensively we're just doing our job. If the guy gets hurt in the process, that's just too bad."


From Pardon The Interuption and I love Wilbon's take.


ESPN's Tony Kornheiser took issue with Williams. "I don't think he should have said it. I think it is most foul the way he said it," Kornheiser said. "Williams basically put a bounty on Peyton Manning's head."

His co-host on "Pardon the Interruption" defended Williams. "This guy coaches defense. That's what he ought to feel, and it's what he ought to be coaching," Michael Wilbon said.

Wilbon told Williams' critics, "Too bad. It's football. Stop sanitizing football!"

"When I see guys huddling up after the game, to pray, that's what scares me about the game. I'm a Baptist, but I'm also a quarterback killer, and I ain't praying with you. But I will give you 30 seconds to ask your Lord and master to keep me from killing you." -- Hall of Fame defensive end "Deacon" Jones on what aspect of the modern game most upsets him.

Yeah well I think its funny that you have had guys in the past say way worse things about getting personal fouls and such and they wanna make a big deal out of a couch trying to motivate his players.I just wonder what reason the NFL is riggedites will come up with if the Saints do beat the Colts.Which just for the record I hope they beat them something awful.

Yeah I know,but I don't hate Manning,I just don't like the Colts.I think Caldwell has been given way too much credit for the their success,much like many other HC's that take over a program that was already a team built to win.Callahan,Switzer,etc...

Exactly. When those old time pass rushers hit the QB (or anyone else for that matter) they wanted to hurt the guy and send him out of the game.

[Demonpenz]

Honestly in the Pats upset win against the ram they blasted EVERYONE Faulk when he wasn't apart of the play, warner up around the helmet on an INT, Recievers, Probably the only way the saints think they can win is like mack off of the program. KILL EVERYONE

I also wonder how any Chief fan could want the Colts to win. 3 of the last 4 playoff losses KC has suffered came at the hands of the Colts. I hate the Colts. I hope they never win a playoff game again in the history of their franchise.

Now days though they have sissified the game so much you damn near have to twitter,txt,or e mail the QB before you sack him so he can get ready for the hit.If Ronnie Lott hit some of these sissy WR's playing now coming across the middle,they'd be out for weeks nursing a sore vagina.:shake:

Because they are a franchise that is run correctly, first round qb drafted and developted (manning) let old ass Running backs go and drafted no ones (Rhodes) then (James) Found great undrafted talent, and won the superbowl.

Well, I dont' really care where they drafted who; I just still like to watch football played at a high level, even though I'm a Chiefs fan. Won't go ga-ga over other teams in the AFC West, but the Colts and Manning have been playing football at a very high level for quite a while. And I think he is one of the greatest QB's to play the game and if he wins another one, I expect that will shut up a bunch of this critics.

I'm not rooting against the Saints, I watched almost every one of their games this year due to fantasy football considerations and I was rooting for them to reach the Super bowl as well.

It's not that guys want to get to and hurt the QB, it's the quote that he said he would take a few of those penalties if it would knock Peyton out of the game. I'm all for hard hitting FB, but can you guys honestly say that you would enjoy the SB if Peyton was laid out on a illegal hit or way late hit that should have been avoided? I wouldn't.

You always stand a better chance of beating the other team when you knock their starting QB out (except maybe the Raiders). If the Chiefs were playing the Colts in the playoffs, I'd sure as hell want Hali to cleanly knock Manning out of the game.

[FAX]

As a dedicated Manning hater, I see nothing wrong with breaking his assbone which is connected to his headbone. The NFL is in a difficult position here, though. They've been allowing the Saints to get away with murder in these playoffs. If they start calling a tighter game, it's going to look like favoritism. Manning has the most endorsements of any player in all of history from the beginning of time immemorial, though, so they'll have to protect him.

I just hope it's a good game. No punts or anything.

thats bullshit. its just fodder for the players & fans. Ive heard GW talk the same way about football my entire life. Kill the guy across from you,old school smash mouth,knock people out football.

I can guarantee coach respects any football player he goes against that plays at a high level.
He coaches his guys to play fundamental mistake free football, stay in position within the scheme and make plays when the opportunity comes your way. He doesnt put bounties on players or tolerate players who get loose within the game.
like i said its just something for the players and fans to get fired up about.

[bowener]

I just hope with the CBA comes some kind of ref reform. Technically the refs aren't full-time workers of the NFL or whatever, but they should make them such. Build or buy a building some where and call it the NFL Ref College and send their asses there every offseason for the majority of it to study their missed and fucked up calls as well as teach younger ones what the fuck to do. They also need to add at least 2 more refs on the field now. 1 has to watch the QB only at all times (and to be an expert on the ridiculous penalties), and another needs to watch the secondary or something in an attempt to cut down on the ass rape PI calls.

They also need to beef up the replay booth numbers or something, because that shit should be as efficient as most college games. All plays should be up for review if they are bad enough calls or miscalls.

Also, since more plays will be challenged, I would like to see the TV commercial breaks after kicks done away with, and made more like the college game where its quick turnaround right after the kickoff.

Sorry, a little off topic, but I had to vent, and I have to poop now.

The Saints defense wasn't all that good this year. Let's face it, Minny marched up and down the field on them. If Minnesota didn't fumble the game away and then suffer brain farts (12 men in the huddle) and a Favre, they easily win the game.

They didn't "fumble" the game away, the Saints took the ball away. That's what the did all year. The Saints also have one of the best red zone defenses in the league.

And someone hopes the Saints get crushed because their defensive coordinator wants to knock the shit out of the other teams QB?

And no point did he talk about cheap shots or injuring Manning or anything like that. This is pretty much the same thing every defensive coordinator in the league says, and some of you homos are butthurt about it? Holy shit. Weak sauce.

Well, that should be one their goals. The chances of the Saints winning dramatically increase if Manning gets taken out.

Of course, it could also mean that the Saints will not care about the pussiness of the rules and will play old school defensive football.

I think most of the guys freaking out about this is the part where he said you have to hope Manning doesn't get back up and play again. That's not verbatim but it is close. I heard the radio interview where he said it and it is taken out of context. He was joking when he said it and I'm fairly certain that he intended as, "Manning is going to get up pissed and really kick our ass."

IMO, he's just recongnizing that Manning is good and if you get after him, he won't go all Huard on you. He will take advantage of what you give him.

It's all taken out of context IMO. Standard coach-speak is "we need to find a way to get to the quarterback". This is the same damn thing. He was just a little more explicit.

This goddamn over-analysis of everything these guys say is precisely why no coach says anything. Ever.

It should be an interesting byline for the game.

They didn't "fumble" the game away, the Saints took the ball away.

They fumbled the game away not securing the ball. Deal with it.

"When I see guys huddling up after the game, to pray, that's what scares me about the game. I'm a Baptist, but I'm also a quarterback killer, and I ain't praying with you. But I will give you 30 seconds to ask your Lord and master to keep me from killing you." -- Hall of Fame defensive end "Deacon" Jones on what aspect of the modern game most upsets him.

It is...the most beautiful thing I have ever read on Chiefs Planet.

oh no, a football team wants to hurt the QB....

Shhh! Mecca might hear you.

[Easy 6]

Nawlins is definitely putting a Papa Jango Jynxo on itself with this kind of talk... right or wrong, its terrible tactics to say this so bluntly... the refs will be ALL over it now.

NO needed every advantage & subterfuge they could muster anyway, now they've stolen one from themselves.

This game will be interesting until early in the 3rd, then the seasoned Colts will just cruise away.

They hurted my Bretty! /Mecca

didnt read the whole thread, but... Ravens did it to the Raiders a few years back. Saragousa (sp) pancaked Gannon.:mad:

How about this one?

'In other words'.... The writer is drawing his own conclusions based on the play of the team the past 2 weeks.

You're a fucking idiot if you think paraphrasing writers = An NFL DC coming out and putting a bounty on Peyton Manning's head.

told ya-


Williams told his son, who plays for Virginia Tech, to strive for the same impact, to “make sure every player that played against you remembers your number, remembers your name, and if they can’t, it’s because you knocked the memory out of them. That’s how good defensive players play.”

Yeah I know,but I don't hate Manning,I just don't like the Colts.I think Caldwell has been given way too much credit for the their success,much like many other HC's that take over a program that was already a team built to win.Callahan,Switzer,etc...
I just would much rather see the Saints win it all.

I disagree here.

I think that Caldwell has brought a little more toughness overall to that team, and the team is better overall because of it.

That team was far too soft under Dungy.

They didn't "fumble" the game away, the Saints took the ball away. That's what the did all year. The Saints also have one of the best red zone defenses in the league.

And someone hopes the Saints get crushed because their defensive coordinator wants to knock the shit out of the other teams QB?

wow. Pussy much?

This.
