Teams think we're soft!

[Deep_Freeze]

It funny, there are probably 20 guys on that list, yet 85% of the posts in this trend is about Roy.

God, we really are really passionate when it comes to critcizing Roy.

As for the list, I would say "soft" is the wrong term. I have seen it said, and it is true, we just have alot of guys that seem to want to win the "Sportsmanship Award" on D. There is noone on our D close to Ray Lewis as far as an emotional leader.

Come on guys. Wake up.

You think guys don't fear Roy as a hitter because he apologizes afterwards?? You think if a WR is going over the middle and leaps for the ball and hears Roy's footsteps, he's going to stand in there and not think about being hit by one of the biggest hitters in the league because he's nice about it?

"Oh man, I'm about to get lit up!!! Ahhh, don't worry, he'll apologize for it. It won't hurt as bad."

Do me a favor and think about what you're posting before you post. Too many guys around here have diarrhea of the mouth... or the keyboard as the case may be.

Sure. Ok.

Please give your reasoning behind you saying Reed is tougher then Roy, i'm definately waiting to hear this crap, which is all you bring.

you keep saying this

WE GET IT!!

and what's wrong with trying to "win the sportsmanship award"? what I hear after every loss gets more ridiculous each time

How about Todd Heap. 6-5 255. Roy destroyed him in the pro-bowl. I believe he even let up a little on that one.

HOw about 5-11 221 Kevin Jones - who Roy absolutely trucked when he tried to block him?

Check him out destroying the "unsupecting tiny guy"

Two examples of defenseless guys. THATS NOT TOUGH! The only example anyone has given to me about Roy being tough was a pre-season game vs. the Texans. What other situation has Roy been in to show how tough he is? None. Don't give me defenseless guy examples.

Sadly you have

This isn't necessarily a completely bad thing. I just personally wish I saw more nastiness out there on the field... Save the tea and crumpets for your personal time.

Hey, we have a winner!

Or, we could just watch Michael robinson truck the great Brian Dawkins, who ytou're so envious of.

Yeah, that was just a few games ago. Allowed a TD. If you recall, Michael Robinson was also a QB at Penn State.

On the other hand, we've seen Roy meet 6-4, 264 pound Brandon Jacobs in the hole, on the goalline, stand him up, and knock the ball out.

Keep being envious.

You have just proven that you don't watch the actual games and especially Roy if you haven't seen him take on anyone bigger then him head on. I could go on all night listing people he has destroyed, one quick example is the head on forced fumble at the goaline with Jacobs, which is a good 15-20lbs heavier. Just stop now and quit digging the grave.

What a joke. A blocking running back is defenseless now?? :laugh2:

Yeah. Kevin Jones was absolutely defenseless as he sat there, waiting to block Roy. Providing we define "defenseless" as looking straight at him and waiting to block him.

English was never my forte.

I keep saying it, cause well, its true.

Yes, summer I know me saying this is old to you, after all, you know we spent all night one night arguing about fire, lol.

That night, I thought I finally got you to see it. Maybe you forgot.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

defenseless would be 50cent right about now

 

[superpunk]

Wahhhhh...sportsmanship.

I don't understand how people are holding onto this "not tough" idea. Look, 50 - you didn't think your clever plan the whole way through. The "thugs" you want are just as sportsmanlike as anyone on our team. You hit the guy in the mouth, and go on. If you'd rather have guys showboating, making a big deal out of a 2 yard tackle for loss, creating stupid dances, etc. say that. But your idea that this team is soft is ridiculous. There's no evidence to support it (as you CLEARLY stated in your OP) and there is TONS of evidence to the contrary.

Hint: It's ok to back off a stance when you realize you're hopelessly out in left field.

Are you serious? You want to compare Robinson going full seem at Dawkins and Jacobs pitter pattering his feet as head up for Roy. Get real! Thas exactly what I'm talking about with Dawkins, putting his head in there and mixing it up when a guy can see you coming. Four people had already hit Jacobs before Roy came in. JAcobs momentum was already stopped. The fact tha Dawkins came back in the game is tough. You guys want knock Dawkins for getting truck, but don't see that fact that Roy shys away from truck hits. Show me a video of Roy stopping someone one on one when the guy has momentum and isn't a WR.

 

[jimmy40]

Thats right, we all want a bunch of thugs. How about a bunch of Brian Dawkins and Ed Reeds. Guys that have good character, but are tough.

Good grief 50, RW is plenty tough he just picks the worst times to take 7th grade B team angles on plays.

Show me where Jones is coming forward to deliver a blow. Give it a rest, you guys don't want to see Roy as opportunistic and not tough.

Something like this...
