Yes, I remember when Brady first came back after his ACL/MCL injury, and IIRC, there was some talk about going after him and trying to hurt him by different players in the league.
Well those guys were pieces of shit too. But regarding Brady....as a Seahawk fan it's not Brady I am concerned with...well I mean you are always concerned about a great quarterback...but Brady is not my main concern. Seattle's defense has faced many quarterbacks just as good and arguably better the last couple years and they have beat them with alarming consistency. The concern is Gronkowski.
Now Seattle fans have heard in big games against top tight ends "how are you going to deal with ______?" Whether that's Vernon Davis, Julius Thomas, Jimmy Graham whoever; and here's how it usually goes. Those players come out and catch a ball or two and then Kam Chancellor gets the right opportunity and the right angle on them and completely blows them up. And then those players, for the most part, vanish from the game. We see it every time Seattle has to play one of those players and it happens over and over and over.
Vernon Davis is 6'3", 250#, Julius Thomas is 6'5", 250#.....Gronk is 6'6", 265#. Chancellor is 6'3, 232# which for a safety is a giant of a man. Still, blowing up Vernon Davis is one thing....blowing up Gronk is a bit different. Now I will point out that Jimmy Graham is actually bigger at 6'7", 265# and against Seattle Graham went for 3 receptions on 9 targets for 46 yards and a TD in their first game and in the playoffs he got 1 grab on four targets for 8 yards. Chancellor intimidated Graham in those games, the second one especially.
So here's the deal....early in this game if Chancellor get's the right angle and the right approach, meaning he can accelerate to full speed and hit at an angle that will maximize his impact force, it will probably set a tone where Gronkowski is going to start looking over his shoulder a bit more. If Chancellor can do it twice early, Gronk is probably a non-factor from that point on. I don't know if either of them will back down, but I do know that Chancellor won't back down. The guy thrives on contact and as an offensive player Gronk doesn't, so if anyone does back down it will be Gronkowsi.
Now if Gronk takes that hit from Chancellor and doesn't go down, now as a Seahawk fan I am going to get concerned. I think each will win a battle here and there but if I had to pick one of them to win the war I would bet on Chancellor IF he gets the opportunity he needs to establish a powerful physical presence.
Absolutely true. I'm still pissed that we/Chancellor couldn't get a bead on that TE in San Diego. That son of a bitch caught three TDs on us.

Well, honestly, I don't think most of the guys on the Patriots will be looking to hurt your player. Of course, there are always going to be a few assholes on every team who like to talk.

Do you really think, with all of what has happened lately, that the Patriots are going to go out and intentionally try to hurt a player. Yes, some player might have made some asinine comment, but he is not the coach of the team. The Patriots are going to listen to the Belichick, and he is not a stupid man.

On "The Herd" this morning a Carolina player was say Seattle,is known for getting in an extra jab, hit and so on. They are very physical and they try to inflict bodily harm on every hit. Now, I know many NFL star that will tell you that while,they don't want to hurt someone, they want to inflict as much pain, so you think about them every time you touch the football. Football is a very tough and dangerous sport.
I saw the interviews this morning. Sherman laughed about it. The bottom line was yes, they do think that way. But no, it's not cool to talk about it in public.

Dude.....I am so pissed. My brother (my other brother, not the physicist) does business with the NFL and they gave him a gift. Two tickets in the NFL executive suite for the Super Bowl.....and the prick is taking my Dad!!!! At least both of them are 12's so they will help represent but I am oozing jealously.
I didn't. "They" means NFL players. Probably high school and college too.Please, don't try and make it look as if it's only a Patriots player who has EVER said such things. There are such players on pretty much every team.I saw the interviews this morning. Sherman laughed about it. The bottom line was yes, they do think that way. But no, it's not cool to talk about it in public.
You'll need the drinkiepoos to ease your pain.I am going to go out and get tons of snacks and have a couple of friends over. I think I want to have hot wings and super nachos. Maybe I'll even have drinks! Who knows?

How much pain are you in, just think three more and you got your 3peat.
