Bob Sanders on running up the scores

I don't care if he talks or not I just think it is stupid to make these comments. If I'm a defensive player on the Pats and I hear someone talking about cheap shotting my QB regardless of the reason I just may be looking for my own cheap shot on your QB. Revenge is a 2 way street not just for the Colts because they don't like how the Pats play. Colts need to concern themself on how they play not what they may do if they get their butts kicked
Dooms... he hasn't said he's going out there to do take cheap shots.

He's said if the Pats disrespect them, that he'll take it personally and do what it takes to stop it. If the Colts were to disrespect the Pats by running up the score, I would expect the opposing team to do the same.

As of now, the Colts don't have that rep. And one guy simply talking about what he's going to do if he gets disrespected won't mean anything... IF THEY DON'T DISRESPECT THEM!!!

That's all he's saying. You run it up on me, I take action. He's not going headhunting in the 1st quarter.

The Pats would be justified in doing the same thing. And that includes retaliating if Sanders takes a shot at Brady. But someone has to make the first move.
 
Human beings tend to push the envelope until something makes them stop. We'll see where this ends up soon enough.

I won't be shedding any tears for New England.

Again - so what. Let me break it down for all the Bellicheat/Patriot love fans we have on the board.

Bob is pretty much saying.....

"Dont start nuthin.....Won't be nuthin" That about sums it up I guess.

And do you really think the Pats give a rat’s backside to what Sanders has to say? They got their own studs on that team and have proven they can hold their own with anyone out there. Sanders has a bug up his butt good for him he may want to get it out before the game so that Moss does not torch him. As for the love fan remark?

I respect the ability of the Pats and do not sit here crying about how they cheat, they played us and won fair and square I can deal with it but then I'm not a sore loser and I can accept the fact that someone out there just may be better than us right now.

I guess you are really missing what some of us are trying to say regarding the Pats.

Don't disrespect a team and not feel that retaliation isn't deserved for said disrespect. If you are out to just show a team up and disrespect them then you deserve whatever you got coming.


That's the bottom line in well.....just about everything.

BTW: I don't recall anyone saying the Pats cheated to beat Dallas this year. You got a link?

Again I doubt the Pat defense really cares when or if he will do what he says but you still end up putting a bulls eye on your own QB with this comment.
 
Bob should just take Brady out in the 1st quarter. Don't let them run it up.

I simply can't agree with this. I hate even thinking about this kind of football.

Sweep the leg, Johnny!

Get a bodybag...

So now the officials will be watching Brady extra hard to see if anyone gets even a slightly late hit in; shouldn't mention it until after the game.

Yeah I agree... But I like his philosophy, I think Sanders will pop him!

I definitely think it will make Belicheck think twice about having Brady throw 40 yard bombs to Moss when they're up by 40.

They'll just make sure Sanders is isolated in the pattern and that he's the one who gives up the extra points and ends up too far from Brady to make a late hit.

The majority of you guys are *twisted* on this running up the score thing. Any player who willfully takes out (injures) another player after the whistle or on an illegal play because his own defense can't compete with the other teams offense deserves to be suspended for at least a full 16 games. There's zero justification for that kind of thinking. It's against the rules, it's immoral, it's bad for the game, and it should be considered grounds for criminal and civil prosecution.

And when can we dispose of the unrealistic notion that doing what you're supposed to do on the field during a *game* is somehow disrespectful to the other team? Owens on the star? That's disrespect. Scoring a touchdown because you can? Give me a break.

So which is it? He puts a bullseye on Peyton, or the Pats don't care?

Yeah - you keep on believing this nonsense. :laugh2:


You are actually kinda twisted your ownself. I actually want my son to grow up w/ the understanding of what Sportsmanship really is. It's not running up the score to embarrass the other team which is what the Pats are just out to do to teams.

Gotta love that legacy. Not only can you say they are a bunch of cheaters but you can say that there is not a sportsman among them.
 
Your right they are abunch of classless cheaters! I mean people can argue the running up the score thing but they can't argue the cheap shots and cheating and Harrison's love for roids...

You can't keep everyone from Brady. If Bob Sanders says this, probably means that others are thinking it.

And this is football. It's a rough sport. If you don't want others taking cheap shots at you, then be respectful. I know I definitely wouldn't go around making my players targets for the sake of showing off.

You act like the Pats don't share in any blame for this sentiment.
 
dooms, you sure are spending a lot of time defending the pats. Makes one think you are a fan....
 
If they had any pride, and were tough they won't be in a position to get it run up.

Like the Colts never put a boatload of points up - lol
 
Bob Sanders better have his head on a swivel. He gave Pats offense bulletin material.

I personally like the attitude, buts its a dumb thing to say before the game.

Points has very little to do with "running it up."

I know, you won't get this.
