That's smashmouth.
Put up or shut up, *****es
Its chicken shit!
seems a little cheap to me...I don't think I've ever seen a guy on the return team run up like that before the ball was even kicked. I didn't think you could even do that. I think if he ran up like after the ball was kicked, then it might be OK...but if the rules says the kicker has to go 5 yards, then it would depend on that I guess. But based on the way it happened, he was obviously trying to lay the guy out.
Injuring kickers is just part of the game.
Seems like a chicken shit move. I mean, I can't say for sure that the coach told him to do that, but if he did, he deserves it. There's no reason to act like that, and I hope the kid gets his head out of his ass, because if a coach tells you to do something that immoral and dumb, you're supposed to be smart enough to say no...
Roughing up a guy is one thing. But that was not the way to do it.
If he was the QB, the one that makes the team good. Than hit him where it counts. Hit him at the position that matters. Don't go after the guy when he is making a kick. Thats just wrong.
