Bills dust off NFL’s dirty little secret


Recommended Posts

In the post-bounty NFL, coaches and players aren’t supposed to talk about the incentive that exists even in the absence of envelopes full of cash.

 

Bills defensive lineman Mario Williams violated that fairly new etiquette point in explaining the philosophy of defensive coordinator Mike Pettine, via Tim Graham of the Buffalo News: “He usually says ‘Kill ‘em or hurt ‘em.’ That’s what I always hear.”

 

It proves our point that, even without bounties, players and coaches have every reason to want to knock other players out of games.

It's entirely possible to play clean and hit to to inflict pain at the same time. I don't see the big deal. The problem comes, imo, when players are head hunting, or shooting for the knees, or taking other cheap shots.

I can't help but think of this movie every time I hear about two topics: players trying to hurt other players and the mental state of active/former players
