Was Reggie Bush taken out INTENTIONALLY by the Jets?

Actually that "invisible banana" was Mike Pouncey going low to cut block Revis, which made Revis have to stop on a dime.

 

Sounds fair. They take out our best offensive player for a half, we take out the best corner in football for the season. Let it be a lesson, you reap what you sow.

There was nothing fishy about that play and all defensive players want to take out the offensive player.

 

Intentionally or not, wishing an injury open somebody else is wrong - period. Believe me when I say that I hate the jets with a passion, one of the few things in life that really irks me is the New York Jets. However wishing an injury upon Sanchez? That's wrong. What happened to Revis could be chalked up to Karma. However, I repeat wishing an injury to another human being is stepping on their level. Let's be the bigger fans here. Karma will take care of them.
...plus let's be honest, through 3 quarters Nacho was OUR most valuable player, why would you want him out?

 

Rex wanted his foot on a silver platter.

I did defend the Saints as well.

All defenses want to put on the big hit on the player. They all want the offensive player not want to play anymore after they hit him. They all want to put the fear of god into the player.

The Jets didn't do anything illegal to hurt Bush. It was a legal hit.

 

what was dirty about it?

 

Landry should have tickled him when he was down, with the hopes that he laughed so hard he would cramp up.

You don't do much comedy, do you?

I thought that Landry's clapping was strange too, but I went back and watched the game again and he clapped after making a solo tackle on Bush earlier in the game on a play when there was no injury. I still hate the Jets though. All that tough talk yet we've dominated them (in the trenches) for three years running.

 

It's an NFL football game. It's not a tickling competition. These lads are out to hurt each other.

You can watch the replay on NFL network

1. Nothing dirty appeared to take place from what was shown. Landry hit Reggie up high. Landry's head connected with Bush's shoulder pad/helmet on first contact and he slid down and hit his knee.

2. Landry was likely clapping because he made a good hit and was pumped about it.

Regardless of any comments made by Jets players, the hit and injury were clean as far as we could see.

 

No it wasn't. Look at the play again, Revis planted his leg and right before Pouncey hit him he was holding his knee. It was a non contact injury.

 

I can second the fact that the Jets player got up clapping and celebrating that Reggie was hurt. He wasn't even the guy who made the play, and the play was a meaningless hand-off.

I believe it was intentional to hurt him but not that anything dirty happened on that play.

 

Umm that is exactly what he said you read it again.

 

Either way I saw Daniel Thomas burn Revis out of his shoes with his cut.
Revis island is out for 2012. Well worth it.
Reggie will be back.

 

Thomas is now worth all those picks we used on him!

 

Did anyone catch this movie reference?

And the answer is "Snatch". Fantastic movie, but they were talking about backroom boxing...

 

I just watched Snatch not long ago, but I didn't catch the reference. I agree, great movie though. Guy Ritchie has 3 of those British gangster type movies that are all great IMO.

Was that a Bricktop line about the tickling competition? Sounds like something he'd have said.

 

Correct!

It was Turkish talking to Tommy. Turkish has some of the best lines. I love when he busts Tommy's balls about the gun he bought from Boris. I also like the guy from New York. I forget the character's name. "Check inside him" referring to the dog. So classic. Bricktop. "In the words of the Virgin Mary. Come again." Lol

Point of clarification. There is no connection whatsoever between whether the Jets were trying to take Reggie out and whether they suck. All defenses want to knock the best offensive player out of the game. The Saints were trying to do that and they don't suck. The Jets suck totally independently of this or anything else.

All I know is that if Reggie is in the game, he gets Carpenter closer and we win.

 

Mike Florio is suggesting it so it must be true

 

Landry clapping after the play looked weird in real time, but it wasn't a dirty hit.

Calvin Pace is an idiot who says dumb ****.

 

You hit Reggie Bush enough times, he will eventually injure something. It's not like you have to try to hurt him.

Kind of like Revis and not getting hit. If you don't hit him enough times, bam! No more knee!

 

I think Reggie has more of an injury history than Revis. But I could be wrong.

 

Not this year!

 

Thats probably the opposite of what is true. Reggie Bush was basically a special teams player in New Orleans with some 3rd down work mixed in and 2x hurt his knee. I believe LCL and PCL were the issues. He plays a full season with a career high in touches by far and stayed healthy pretty much all year. He was averaging I think 26 touches through 2 games and was on pace to blow away last years totals until his injury. So I think with Reggie it can be said that he probably tried to do too much when he got less touches which lead to more injuries.

 

Fair point. Bottom line is that RB's have short careers for a reason. They get the snot knocked out of them. They all get dinged up. To think that the Jets were actually trying to injure him is ridiculous. They hit him no harder than any other RB they face. No one put a helmet directly on his knee. From what I saw, Landry hit him high and slid down....on the opposite knee that was injured. This entire thread seems more like an excuse to say, "Ha ha Revis. Payback is a *****." Yet no one touched him either. It's football. Players get injured all the time. And other than your QB, a good team should be able to survive the loss of one player. I guess you could make a case for a top 3 RB as well.
