Savage Beatings Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Darius is going to get fined big time by the NFL for that move. Hope Ferguson is alright! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skrappy1 Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 His legs were flailing about right after it happened (maybe involuntarily if he was unconscious), but I would think his spine is ok if that was happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ursa Majoris Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Haven't seen a clothesline for many, many years. Darius is going to be way poorer by the end of the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolverines Fan Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 They show Del Rio on the sidelines laughing. Pretty classless. 621237[/snapback] Saw the whole thing. That hit was nasty. For a few minutes there, I was wondering if Ferguson had a broken neck and was paralyzed. Del Rio is a big walking male genital for standing there laughing about whatever. He is a former player, too. I would think he of all people could understand the seriousness of what happened! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think he of all people could understand the seriousness of what happened! 621366[/snapback] I did notice his smirk and thought that it was pretty classless myself. But then after awhile I just assumed that he couldn't possibly be laughing at Ferguson laying on the ground. But now hearing everyone else's opinon I'm now thinking that he really was laughing at that..... Reminds me of when the Philly fans cheered when Michael Irvin was laying on the turf at Veteran's.....

Link for the update on the Packers' site.. Update On Robert Ferguson posted 12/19/2004 Robert Ferguson : Packers-Jaguars Game Center Green Bay Packers wide receiver Robert Ferguson suffered a sprained neck with 4:41 remaining in Sunday's game vs. Jacksonville. He will be kept at Bellin Hospital in Green Bay overnight for observation and further evaluation.

A Little Bit Special Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 (edited) Darius said he's seen players stay in the game for hits worse than his. "It was not intentional, I was just trying to make a play," he said. "I've done that in the past when I know I couldn't get an interception, I swung up, trying to get the ball. That's a technique." What an ass EDIT to add: Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio said he was looking at the pass rush and didn't see the hit, so he declined comment. I'll give Del Rio the benefit of the doubt since he was not aware of how bad the hit was.

BIG A Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Football is a contact sport. Anyone that decides to make a living playing football should consider that. Butkus, Lambert, Tatum, etc... clothes lined and punched people in the face every Sunday. Dan Dierdorf made it seem like he chopped Ferguson's head off with a machette. He is ok and Darius deserves a fine, but should not be labeled a dirty player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Darius was 6" lower and hit him in the chest he would have been on everyone's plays of the week. I am not saying he shouldn't be fined, but this a a full contact sport and nasty things are going to happen when two grown, athletic men throw their bodies at each other.

I am sure all you Viking fans would be screaming suspension if that was Randy Moss on the receiving end of this obvious intentional hit.
