Wilfork Cheap Shot

[DynaPaul]

After seeing this video it definitely looks like a lot of you were right about it being a cheap shot. He definitely kicks his elbow way out there.

Wilfork whacks Losman's knee

I disagree.

The guy is what, 300+ lbs? He come in with full steam and gets pushed from behind. He sticks his arm out, yes. But with that speed he had no other choice. It was a fluke the elbow hit Losman's knee.

I don't think it was dirty.

It's something to talk about, anyway.

he had both arms around Wilfork. You might be the one blind. The center pushing the DT towards the qb. That's great technique. NO! LT's and RT push DE's outside not center.

instead of going down, he took an extra step or two towards Losman before going down- it wasn't the block that pushed him into Losman, it was his own effort. Also, his arm was extended too far to do much good as far as shielding his body from the fall- he would have fallen on his ribs and likely messed up his shoulder with his arm that far out. He had a target.

He got beat, tried to hold, fell, and while falling, slid down Wilfork, which pushed him forward. Into Losman.

Re: Wilfork Cheap Shot

That was some ****ty blocking from the center and there were definite bad intentions with that elbow. He may have not meant to hit him in his knee like that but he was most definitely trying to get a last hit in before his big ass hit the turf.

look at the video , do you even know the difference bettween holding and pushing? He had his arms WRAPPED around. You're blind.

Re: Wilfork Cheap Shot

I'm not even looking at the holding or pushing. We all know our center blows. It's just that he whipped his elbow out at the end. Generally when you fall you kick your elbows out a LITTLE BIT to brace for the impact while maintaining enough leverage. The way that right elbow was out he'd have landed on his torso.

Re: Wilfork Cheap Shot

Most defenders trying to get at the qb try to wrap him up. I would take him falling on losmans legs if he was trying to GRAB his legs. I dont care if he was held or pushed. He had clear intent of, "if im going down, im taking him out, not taking him down." I have NEVER seen any player going down on a tackle get into the forearm shiver position, either to break a fall or tackle.

Re: Wilfork Cheap Shot

I definilty think it was a cheapshot. If he was intending to tackle Losman, he would have extended his entire arm out in an attmept to grab him. He was throwing his elbow outward.

Re: Wilfork Cheap Shot

The 2nd angle in that video says it all.

Re: Wilfork Cheap Shot

After watching it again it just reinforces my opinion. IT was ****ing DIRTY and if you cant see that your ****ing blind
