Brandon Meriweather
Brandon Meriweather, safety for the Washington Redskins is known for his brutal hits on the field. Meriweather was faced with a one game suspension last week for his helmet-to-helmet hits against the Chicago Bears. Meriweather responded by saying he has to take peoples knees outs now since he can no longer hit anyone high. Football is the most watched sport in the United States and no one wants to see a player suffer a major injury. Meriweather has been a dirty player since he started his career in the NFL and now he is talking about ending players careers. Some kind of big suspension needs to be placed on Meriweather before he does actually end a few players careers.

I agree completely, although I can also see what he was trying to say. The game is so fast anymore and the rushers are lowering their heads more to run over defenders. It is hard to adjust a hit when it is such a fast paced game. I think with all the efforts of no head shots and other rules are going to continue to be broken, it's just the nature of football.
ReplyDeleteFootball is a brutal game, however the NFL is turning it into two hand touch. These athletes are getting paid millions to enterain, and American wants hard hits, thats what they should get. However what he said about taking out knees is outragous. He should be suspended for saying that, not making a hard hit. That type of hit is dirty, usually the only way you take someones knee out is on purpose.
