Ifedi At It Again...

[impacthawk]

Every thing in the NFL is done with a purpose. Nothing is left for chance. The coaches know exactly what they are doing here. Think about how insignificant practice skirmishes are in the overall scheme of things. But think about how important it is for the guys to set the tone, and have an identity. This is Cables guy, and he let him know early that this could (and should be) Ifedi's line. We want to be tough, and mean and we wont back down to anybody. That does not start on the first snap of the first regular season game! It starts NOW! This will pay off in a big way by the end of the season. Remember, this is the exact reason that we drafted him. Plays with a mean streak. Let him play.

Are you saying that what this team needs is some more....
















Dirtbags?

I don't mind an attitude but shoving someone in the back is like the worse thing you can do in sports besides kicking someone in the groin or in the side of the knee. Not impressed.

Puhhlllleeeeaaase. He didn't punch him.

He's actually got a point. You can't completely prepare yourself for a shove in the back, and we just got over a scary moment of uncertainty about Reed because of...TADAAA, a 'shove in the back' from Pericek. He can shove opposing-team players in the back if he chooses to assert 'dominance' in that way; don't put your teammates at risk. To me, cheating doesn't show dominance; you have to have been beat in the first place to be in position to do that.

That and the back is highly complex with many parts. From small muscles to large ones to spinal and neck problems. An injury to the back is very easily career threatening and possibly the hardest to heal from. I'd rather be punched ANY day.

It's time for the boys to hit someone wearing different laundry.

Cheating?...His shoving in the back might have been in retaliation to something shitty that was said or done to him, and unless you were there to witness what actually transpired, it's a little quick to be criticizing, eh?

Over-exaggerate much?....It was said that he SHOVED him in the back, not a drop kick, punch, or roundhouse for crying out loud.

I don't mind the fiery attitude, in fact I kinda like it in linemen. As long as it doesn't translate into stupid penalties or injuries at practices, I'm fine with it.

Although, a well timed penalty here and there wouldn't be entirely bad. Send a message that they aren't the push overs the league thinks they are gonna be. Get a nasty attitude. I love it.

And I am saying that's worse than any of those that you are listing off. When you're not prepared and someone pushes you in the back, it is 100% worse than being prepared and taking a "drop kick, punch, or roundhouse". Even if you're not prepared, those actions will only cause a severe bruise. Capitalizing "Shoved" does nothing for your case, that's the worst case scenario.

 

[theENGLISHseahawk]

This is great news.

Ifedi isn't an idiot. He's not a hot head. There were no issues at A&M with this.

He's standing up to the best defense in the league in preparation for the real stuff happening. Good for him.

:roll: And, unless you were there, you still have NOTHING.
You have NO knowledge of how hard he actually did shove him, I'm pretty sure that if he had pushed him hard enough to cause your "make believe" injury, there would have been a big to-do written about it....In other words,,,it's A NON- story.

Agreed, I don't know, but neither do you.

And to be clear, I just said I wasn't impressed. Not trying to make a story of it but it's not as impressive to me as it is to some of you. I'm allowed to my opinion, right man? Nothing you can say will change my mind on pushing someone in the back in any degree. But feel free to be impressed, I don't care.

I'm pretty sure that a roundhouse kick to the head is worse than a shove in the back, but it's a non-issue either way.
I'm just hoping that Ifedi is not only mean, but technically proficient. Neither Giacomini or Sweezy were close to being that.

I said nothing about being impressed, nor did I claim that I knew what had transpired, but I do know that we need OFFENSIVE linemen that won't wus out.
Couple Years back, there was a clamoring for some "Dirt Bag" Offensive Linemen, and now that we have a guy that refuses to take any shit, is setting the tone to matching the attacks by opposing Defenses that are COMING, some of Y'all are unimpressed? :roll:

Ifedi is no Chuck Norris. That's both good and bad.

This. We've missed fire from the line since the big Russian days.

Who's a big Russian?

He's referencing Breno Giacomini who is actually of Brazilian heritage and who is now with the Jets.

If anyone has to explain the whole Lynch, Brino, Russian thing, I will be disappoint.

Haha!

Guess we're getting the Ifedi fan club all upset. Sorry, Scutter, not pissing in your Wheaties, but how about more of us being a fan of the whole team, and its well being, rather than worshipping one or two players. If he wants to shove somebody in the back, do it to an opposing team...I'm all for that. I wholeheartedly agree with everyone who said the team needs to line up against actual opponents. Thank goodness that is already happening. :2thumbs:
