Video: Come on Anthony Spencer! lol.

[hornitosmonster]

Preseason guys..Preseason...

For some reason the players do have an unwritten rule. Eli Manning was more of a freak hit the other day.

Ocho Cinco is right...

The AZ Cardinals were also complaining about the hit that Fitz took.

I promise that Rivers gets lit up in the regular season "if" he does that again...

[Biggems]

hey, Church is a DB, and was exhausted from running all that way....I give him a pass.

the one that bugs me was Brandon Williams against Cincy. He had a great chance to blow up the QB after his INT, but punked out. Very disappointing.

yeah that was when we had a head coach who wasn't a ***** like Wade.

We have a team full of talented nice guys...and that is one of the biggest regrets I have when we bypassed Mike Singletary for [View Full Quote]Wade Phillips. This team needs more of an edge that Mike S could provide. This teams needs to line up on 3rd and 1 and DARE the opposition to try to stop us from running them over. I am not blaming Wade...because if we had nasty players, Wade could not do anything to coach it OUT of them. But we have nice guys, coupled with a nice coach...and at times that leades to uninspiring football that is just HAPPY to finally win a playoff game, as opposed to DESPERATE to win a Super Bowl.

agreed.

I like Philip. Hes a cocky mother trucker but he backs it up.

Spencer could have destroyed him. I think Spencer just decided to be the better person: it's pre-season, no sense in risking injurying a guy (big time QB at that). it's pre-season. Regular season though, I think Spencer's attitude is a little different and he takes full advantage of the situation to take out Rivers.

Let me tell you the two least "dirtiest" teams in the league made the Super Bowl last season. And the 9ers are soft on defensive as well. I like Singletary but he's proved NOTHING as of yet. That may change this season by default since their division is so wide open.

I love everyone in here giving Spencer a pass, lol.

He's running to the end zone like he has the football. Why?

He didn't have to kill Rivers, but he did have to block him.

he should of Warren Sapped rivers.

[Chocolate Lab]

Rivers was going to the center of the field. All Church has to do is stay on Spencer's hip and he walks in. Anthony couldn't know Church would wander back to the middle of the field like he was in a drunken stupor.

[BlueStar3398]

Barry Church was so winded after that run that I saw one of the coaches come over and put a hand on his shoulder to ask him if he was ok.

Not sure why Spencer didn't block Rivers? Maybe he thought that Rivers wouldn't make a tackle?

Yeah. That's why you block him so Church can do whatever he wants.

All he had to do is just get in his way. I'd have laid the loud mouth out cold myself.

[Dash28]

Spencer should have blocked him at the very least.

should I assume you watch football? Did you not watch the Saints defense last year? Actually, did you watch what the Saints did to Brett Favre in the NFC championship game? I get the impression you did not so I will not discuss this further with you.

And I tell you what about Mike Singletary....what he did to Vernon Davis let's me know that this mythical superhero that Martellus Benett has ascended to in HIS mind would have been shutdown a LONG time ago!
