  1. Late hit.

  1. 'Cause it's not like we should block the 330 pound defensive tackle or anything.

    Who was responsible for this? What lineman was thinking "Aww, it's only a preseason game."

    The O-line needs to step it up this season. No more NFL Today segments of them shooting arrows. Do your damn job.

  1. He definitely drove him into the ground. There was no let up after the ball was released. I don’t know if that a penalty, but it was definitely a cheap shot, especially in a preseason game!

  1. I'm not so sure Brady is Ok, I think he really got injured on that hit. And it was a clean play, imo.

    Season could be over before it even starts.

  1. it looked like haynesworth "drove" him into the ground a little bit, which I thought was illegal

  1. Mike hasn't said it, not even in his Twitter remark breaking down
    the play. But I have read a couple of stories where Galloway was
    quoted that he missed Haynesworth.

    Your thoughts, Mike? Was Joey responsible?

  1. "late hit"????? Are you for real? That was an excellent hit. The guy was double teamed, beat 'em both (they did give up at the end too), and planted the QB. That's football. If your upset because pretty boy millionaire got hurt, blame 72 and 70, they were about as mobile on that play as an oak tree.

  1. Haynesworth is a clean player...because he doesn't need to play dirty. He is just that good...people get hurt when they play football...I hope Brady is OK so there are no excuses when the fish take the division!

  1. This is par for the course for Fat Al. He did the exact same thing to Matt Schaub on multiple occasions, but nobody outside the Texans fanbase said a word about it except to say that Schaub's injury prone.

    Get ready, Tony Romo, Eli Manning, and Donovan McNabb. Albert Haynesworth eagerly awaits the moment he gets to drive you into the ground with his immense wait and then say "Hey, that's football!"

  1. the o-line is an issue...no one is saying it but going cheap on the oline for years while spending money elsewhere may be catching up with the pats...walter is solid if need be for a few games. Brady is so tough, the line needs to take the holding flag occasionally to ensure he doesn't get wacked montana/marshall style.

  1. Er, um, weight, of course. Not wait.
