I'm a diehard Steelers fan and saw it live yesterday. I happen to be watching the game with a diehard Pats fan and we both were amazed he got up. Thankfully he wasn't seriously hurt. Even though I'm not sure if he new what his name was afterwards. Being a Steelers fan I love seeing the black and gold knock heads off. I'm a huge Heinz Ward fan just because of his blocking. Sing it with me now! Here we go Steelers here we go! tommyboy You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

And yes, you do have to give Welker some credit for getting up after that one. Although I still don't think he knows the game is over.. Just glad to see he did get up. Not a Steelers fan but you gotta love smash mouth football and that's what there defense has been about for years. I'm ready to see you guys hook up with Tennessee in a couple of weeks.

That's why Clark was penalized. The ball was nowhere near Welker. I love good hits, but not when they're potential career enders, especially when they're unnecessary.

Those defensive backs have the reaction time of cats. Clark could've and should've checked up. Don't get me wrong, I love hard hitting football. I just don't think that particular hit is worth celebrating, that's all. It would've been a different story if Welker had the ball. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

It would've been a different story if Welker had the ball. That's NFL football, I've seen these kind of shots many times. I've also seen receivers catch balls even after those hits. I played D1a college ball. I was a backup free safety. I really don't think Ryan Clark knew the ball was tipped. He saw the ball coming out of Big Ben's hands (at that moment) he found the receiver. Your coached to get to the ball. He never saw the tip. He was focused on Welker's chest plate. That's what your coached. Just so happens the ball never made it there. Right call on the penalty. But it would play out like that 99 out of 100 givin' the same situation. If the ball wouldn't have been tipped Welker very well could have caught the ball. He's a NFL player also. tommyboy You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content! Don't miss today's free blues, jazz & country licks.

This is the reason they've changed the rules. However, sometimes rule changes don't always get the speed of the NFL game. Just glad Wes Welker didn't get hurt seriously. He's a baller and I respect him since I was a smaller player myself. tommyboy You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

He's a baller and I respect him since I was a smaller player myself. tommyboy Yeah, I do like the hard hits also. I think the quarterbacks are sometimes too protected by rules. My concern is that players will soon be so overdeveloped as to be capable of serious damage. They're getting bigger, stronger, and faster. I assume that equipment safety keeps up, but it's hard to say. When Dan Dierdorf was playing, linemen weighed 240 lbs. Now, that's a small fullback. 300 lb. lineman are running 4.6 fortys. Linebackers weigh 260-270 lbs. How much punishment can a body take? Concussions, blown knees...did you know that the average football career lasts just three years? Have you ever seen Dick Butkus walk? Football is a punishing sport. I like watching it, but I do wince when I see some hits. I'm 6'3" and weigh 300 lbs. I used to play football too, but my knees gave out just from lifting weights and running fortys. I sometimes wish I would have gravitated to badminton or something.

I had knee problems myself. Luckily, I didn't have the talent to make the next step. I was a starting tail back that was beating enough. Luckily, I had beast of a fullback in front of me and my quarterback could throw the ball. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
