Do like the guys did in the 30s and 40s.  Gang up on a play and break something.

Slauson put Brian Cushing out for a year with a chop block. So he knows how to get er done.

Just sayin.

 Hey do you want to get rid of concussions ?

 Get rid of the plastic football helmets and go back to leather helmets.

 Then lets see sombody lead with a helmet.

DeCastro put out his own teammate Pouncey with a similar hit.  Maybe we could talk to Idonije?

Unfortunately, the plastic helmet is dear to the hearts of NFL folks because they are so pretty/

All I can say to Vikings fans is...  careful what you wish for.

I had the "opportunity" to see Cassel in several Chiefs games and he is brutal.  Anyone thinking Matt Cassel is an upgrade over Ponder is in for a rude shock.

If Ponder is hurt they really don't have any choice - assuming of course he's really hurt.

Watching Ponder the last couple of weeks and Sam Bradford last night makes me REALLY glad we have Cutler.  And really hoping he can stay healthy this year.

This makes me REALLY glad the Bears have Cutler...assuming that Trestman continues to minimize the "bad Jay" moments.

I do believe Cassel is a 'upgrade' over Ponder. And I think you'll see their offense moving a bit more efficiently. Ponder just didn't have 'it'. Not sure why he was starting for them.....not saying Cassel is anything, but he's better than Ponder!

what I've seen of Ponder he wasn't that bad. Not the strongest arm but I've seen a lot worse.

 I posted this on the FFL  :

 Started Kaepernick  ... if I had started Ponder  ... JJ would be 3-0.

JJ - That is crazy, although that trend would have changed this week with Ponder on the bench, and K-nick having a good game Thursday

Vikes got their first win today under Cassel who threw for 250 and 2 TD's. Boy those Steelers are having a nightmare season and Greene from their classic era just passed away.....not a good time to be a Steeler fan....
