On NFL live, they were doing the same thing. Mark Schlereth was apoplectic that Justin Tuck had been fined for his tackle. On Mike and Mike, Golic was the same way. It was a great tackle, it just happened to be against a quarterback right after he’d thrown the ball.

What they should have done is compare and contrast the two hits. It’s one thing to make a form tackle. it’s another thing to go after a QB’s knees. Hell, it’s bad going after any NFL player’s knees. I know we’re supposed to be a ZBS team, which involves cut blocking, but it’s one thing to go after a D-lineman’s knees when he’s looking at you, and he knows its coming compared to what happened to Schaub.

I definitely like the attitude that Winston and Pitts seem to have. I don’t think that Kubes will knowingly let retaliations like that happen though. I think it’s a good thing to have a coach who’s going to try and beat the other team without stooping to their level. If Pitts and Winston are going to get revenge whenever Schaub gets injured though, they’re going to need to do it on their own, without waiting for Kubiak to confirm three days later that, yes, the hit was a cheap shot.
