I agree with breaking your opponents will. It is still unnecessary when Ward does this away from the play. Here is one version of why.  When he is on opposite side of the field he would serve his team far better to run to the area of the play and peel off defenders closer to the play.  Instead, Ward ignores the play in lieu of lighting up someone for the sake of lighting them up... far away from the play and potentially helping his team.  And don&#039;t tell me he doesn&#039;t do this.  I have seen it time and time again.

The play where he broke Rivers jaw, I am ok with.  That was in the flow of the play.  Look, the guy is a good ball player.  He takes shots that are absolutely unnecessary. Away from the play and not even in pursuit of the play, his shots are selfish and bush.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;My basis for defining these shots as cheap, without writing a novel is…”were they necessary?”&quot;

Since a big part of football is breaking your opponents will to win, every legal hit is a necessary hit ... and the harder the better. You hit your opponent as hard as you can as often as you&#039;re allowed, until his mind is occupied with looking out for the next shot instead of focusing on his assignment.

That is football.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[bunkmcnulty, fair enough.  We can respectfully disagree.  I will say this in closing.  When I played football in school, the coaches taught you to play until the whistle blows, no matter where you are on the field.  You keep blocking, you keep running, you keep pursuing. And you pay attention.  You never know what might happen.  

Pleasure intelligently conversing with a fan of the Ravens.  Looking forward to watching at least games in what arguably is the best rivalry in the NFL.   Two very similar teams.

Save your breath regarding jamal. You forget they let middle schoolers access this site too.

Thanks for your post.  Keep in mind, having jaded opinions cuts both ways.  Perhaps because of my rooting interest I may see more of Ward&#039;s out of the action hits as cheap.  Likewise, I would say your rooting interest have the ability to impact your opinions too. I have a pretty good history on my posts here of being fair.  I call out my team (Suggs for running his mouth mostly), I have defended Ben (said he was stupid, not criminal), and have admonished my own team&#039;s fans for blaming officials (bottom line, teams have to overcome bad calls).

My basis for defining these shots as cheap, without writing a novel is...&quot;were they necessary?&quot; On the other side of the field and off the play the answer is clearly &quot;NO.&quot; I could give you more to describe why this is true to defend this opinion, but no one wants to hear it.]]></description>

Hines ward is the most overated receiver out there. He plays for a dirty team and he’s a dirty player so he is loved by their DIRTY fans! 

*********

jamaltimore, have you EVER made ONE post on PFT that was even reasonably accurate and honest?  Your hatred for anything/anybody other than the Ravens clearly shapes every comment you make.  If he is &quot;the most overated receiver&quot;, what does that mean?  Overrated on what basis?  He will have over 1,000 receptions, he has not missed many games in his career, was a Super Bowl MVP, he is WELL KNOWN AND PROVEN to be one of the best blocking WRs in the league.  What is he &quot;overrated&quot; on?  You can hate the Steelers, their players, their fans, the city, the mayor, the stadium and anything else that has &quot;Pittsburgh&quot; in it.  But your complete lack of ANY credibility in being able to HONESTLY and FACTUALLY discuss football issues is obvious to anyone reading these threads.  There are many Ravens fans that make you look like a fool, with their ability to discuss issues.  But in any event, have a nice day.

“It wasn’t like I’m in a prolific passing offense, it’s not like I’m playing in a dome.”

Nice cheap shot at both his own team and Marvin Harrison. What a tool…typical Stooler with the me-first attitude. Career-ender would be good right about now.
------------------------------------------------------

You called someone a tool then wished for a career ending injury? What does that make you? Also, saying that the Steelers have a me first attitude, is that something you just made up? I&#039;ve never heard too much of that, and I doubt they&#039;d be as successful if it was true.]]></description>

<p>Nice cheap shot at both his own team and Marvin Harrison. What a tool…typical Stooler with the me-first attitude. Career-ender would be good right about now.<br />

		<description><![CDATA[I get a kick out of Ravens fans making claims about cheap shots and dirty players. I remember a few years ago, in the pregame before a Steelers-Ravens game, the camera and mic catching Ray Lewis charging up the defense with a &quot;when you knock someone down, make sure they don&#039;t get up&quot; type of speech. Two plays in, Rashard Mendenhall was done for the season with a broken collar bone. But I guess that was OK because the damage was done by a defensive player, huh?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hines ward is the most overated receiver out there.  He plays for a dirty team and  he&#039;s a dirty player so he is loved by their DIRTY fans!   

He  approached his DUI charge the same way he try&#039;s to laugh off his cheapshots on the football field acting like he did nothing wrong when in fact everyone else watching knows he did.   Can&#039;t wait till the drunk dancer&#039;s video arrest hit&#039;s you tube!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Im an Eagles fan and we have a great recieving core right now , but Ill be honest if Hines was available I would get him in a second . He searches for guys to hit , he goes hard every play ,great locker room guy and he&#039;s the definition of consistency . I was born hating the Steelers , but this guy was and is a great football player , not so much for his talent but for the love of the game . Ward , IMO should be a first ballot HOF .]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[1,000 catches would be quite an accomplishment.  However, it&#039;s largely symbolic.  954 catches is also impressive.

Regarding his physicality, wasn&#039;t it great when Bart Scott complained about it?  A trash-talking LINEBACKER complained about a guy playing a skill position.  How great was that?  If I were Scott, I never would have opened my mouth.  Have some pride, tough guy.]]></description>

And there’s a difference between playing dirty and hitting players who are either being lazy and giving up on a play, or not paying attention.

Well perhaps they should not be lazy, should not give up on a play and pay attention. I mean, cmon, what kind of excuse is that?]]></description>
