I am pretty sick of seeing Tiki on television, someone needs to cut block him.

I agree. This guy is horrible in the booth. I don't give a shit about Trent Green or what Tiki said either. I just think he sucks.

I stated it in another thread but anyway.........that could've very easily been a career ending hit Green put on him. The guy didn't see it coming and Trent dove right into the knees. The guy has every right to be angry and it was a very questionable hit. I can easily see where it could be called a cheap shot.

Just because it is a QB making the hit doesn't change anything. If it were a safety going after someone elses knees then it would be called a cheap shot. QB's don't get amnesty from scruting when they choose to take on a monster DL. They are held to the same standard of play.

I am trying to remember all the players that have had career-enders from QB's...

Spend more time trying to remember how many players have had career-enders from people hitting them in the knees when they don't see the hit coming. Actually, research why the NFL changed the rules regarding OL/DL lineman getting hit by a second person while engaged in a block.

I hope I was able to help.

LOL! So when a 180# QB goes low on a block it's a cheap shot, when the entire broncos offensive line goes low every other play it's simply "legal".

It's not right in either situation. That play had disaster written all over it. Trent got a slight concussion and the DL was complaining of knee pain.

Trent does not seem like the type of player that would intentionally hurt someone but.....

1. Trent DID intend to go low to take on a larger player
2. Trent ACTED on those intentions and hit the guy in the knees
3. The other guy did not see the hit coming

= Cheapshot!

Trent's INTENTIONS were clear. It just didn't work out in his favor.

If you are going to blindside someone then at least keep it high. You already have an advantage since they don't see it coming. That alone would neutralize any height/weight advantage.

So, I'm guessing you've never seen every RB in the league try and pick up a blitz?

Houston's oline runs Denver's zone blocking scheme making it even more hypocritical.
