I just hope Roy keeps playing his game. It works and he isn't playing dirty.

On a side note, I love reading 10 page threads on Skin's message boards about how Roy is too mean to them. Last year they were upset about Roy "putting a suplex" on Ramsey. Of course I think he knocked three of their players out of that game LOL! This year they seem to think he was too mean to their WR's. I just hope I'm reading more threads about how mean he is after the Skins come to Dallas this year.

Yeah it is pretty funny. After reading a few threads I feel like I am watching JFK with Kevin Costner.

I don't agree with this rule, either, but that's what it is.

It's not surprising the fines on defensive players when you consider the guy handing out the fines used to be a WR (for the 49'ers no less). There should be some defensive players on the penalty board (or whatever it is) to balance things out.

agreed...he led with the shoulder, but it was a helmit to helmit hit, and frankly, while I loved seeing coles laid out, it's a little scary to see his head snap back like it does in this video.

YOu know what? Let's just put dresses on these guys and give them flags to use. My God, Can you imagine guys like Randy WHite or Jack Lambert in this day and age? THey would be useless. THe league is run by a bunch of wimps.

I think it's borderline since Coles feet touched as Williams arrived. Since no PF was called, I think they should have left it alone.

Being that Gene Washington was a receiver it seems to me that a respected ex-defensive player in the league should be teamed up with him to consult on these decisions. Roy does play for the big hit but so do most of the safetys in college and pro ball.

I for one, love the big hits, and not just those delivered by Cowboys players. In my mind, Ronnie Lott is one of the top 5 players of all time. He changed the way teams played offense because he could eb so devestating. Trying to take that away is just sad.
