Think Ken Norton teaches dirty tactics?

I believe we mostly all think the Seahawks play dirty.
Hurns injury reminds me of the sack of Kelly by Norton in the SB.
Grab em and roll against the legs....

He is an enemy now. The scum bag.

UGH...I have tried to avoid seeing this. A warning at the top would have been appreciated.

If he does there's no way that they could keep that story just within the walls of the franchise. We would have heard about it long before the unfortunate circumstances of last Saturday night. Football is a very physical game and sometimes things happen, especially now that the focus of hitting has been lowered from head and shoulders to waist and legs.

It definitely looks like to me anyways and the game that all the Seahawk tacklers are going for the legs oh, now with that being said many many years ago when I played football we were always taught to take the legs out cuz that's how you bring someone down but not quite like they did it we were taught to grab around just below the waist and wrap up the legs if I remember right it certainly seemed to me that they were going for the ankles oh, now not that some tackles don't end up being around the ankles it certainly seemed like to me that they were definitely targeting them

I did not watch too much of the Seahawks other than our game this year I'd like to go back and look at some of the other games

 

[SportsGuru80]

Yeah I don't like that tackling technique at all. DIRTY

Good job, Sherlock Holmes. You cracked the case! Two plays a quarter of a century apart proves it! Condemn that man...





...just ignore every other time that sort of injury has happened to players in games not involving the Cowboys or Ken Norton.

How about letting it go ?

We won.
This is a violent sport. Injuries happen.
No need to trumpeteer around like another idiot on twitter.

I'd take that under consideration if you weren't an insignificant nobody like everyone else...

Seahawks don't play dirty, that's only in the minds of some Cowboys fans, Hurns was injured on a freak accident of different forces trying to go in different directions and Ken Norton Jr's tackle of Jim Kelly in the Superbowl wasn't either, he jumped over the line on a perfectly timed blitz of Kelly, you can't control how you fall to the ground with Kelly trying to get away from the blitz in his face

Fair enough.
It just seems grabbing and rolling into the legs is more prevalent with them.
We saw them twisting legs on purpose after plays...

Like everyone else ?

So your family members are insignificant nobodies ?

Tim Brown tweeted that anyone who throws themselves into the ball carriers legs should be labled a "dirty player"

I don’t know really, but what about the other two players with ankle injuries from the game? And when that guy twisted Zeke’s leg clearly on purpose.

Also, numerous fans of other teams(not the Cowboys) say this is routine for them.https://www.bloggingtheboys.com/201...r-seahawks-cowboys-seattle-is-dying-in-dallas

To me this isn't a ken Norton or Seahawks issue. This is an issue with the NFL and it's rules. The way they want players tackled today causes injuries like hurns. A defender can no longer use proper technique to make a tackle so they resort to piss poor tackling technique causing bad leg injuries.

But yet Beasley's injured ankle happened almost the same way a few plays before.

Not saying any was on purpose, as I do not believe they were. It is just unfortunate as you said.
But just bringing that up for the conspiracy theorist. To see if there may be something to it after all.

 

[SlimBig]

Hey man, a warning of the injury would be nice.

I hate when people just post terrible injuries on social media without any notice.
Many of us turn away or don't want to see it.

How many of you have all truly played football? I mean up to like the college level? The fact is, when you're going all out, trying to make a play, trying to rope down a slippery quick player, who if he gets his feet under him again, is gone in a flash, who is trying to leap over the middle and make that catch, WHATEVER, that situation might be????? You aren're premeditating exactly how you're gonna bring the guy down, stop him, or delay him....YOU JUST FREAKING DO IT! It's instinctual.

All these leading with the helmet laws, hitting a defenseless receiver, touching the QB below the knees, or anywhere in the head, etc etc etc are all BS, and luck of the draw. You're still gonna have those hits every game, no matter how intense you make the penalty, because at the end of the day, football is still an instinctual sport.
