Maybe the HC would like to teach those apologizing players that they are expected to play hard on every play.

i think that if the players themselves apologized.....that's the end of the argument. sounds like Schiano already lost his team if they know they did something they normally arent supposed to
LAWYERED!!!!
Its pretty sad that Eli threw for friggin 500 yards and the only thing the media can talk about is the last play.
MH, go look at the redskins vsstlou game and the sanfran vs lions game. NO ONE touches each other in the redskin game. NOT ONE! Its an unspoken rule. Just saw the replay again and they go right for the giants legs, hard. TC has every right to say its bushleague and be outraged and so should you. We have no more linemen.
Its not about going after legs to me. If guys do that and are trying to hurt guys, I have a huge problem with that. And I promise that just a few seconds after the play, TC didn't know what tactics they used. All he was responding to was that he call a kneel down play and they are always uneventful. This time his guy was on his *** and he took exception to it because in his mind thats not supposed to happen. But thats BS! A team has a right and obligation to try to stop a play that will end the game in their defeat. In this case, they have a right and obligation to try to hit Eli before he has a chance to kneel down and try to get the ball out. And they did knock him down. I'm not sure if he even got his knee down. It was too hard to tell. He could have definitely fumbled going down. It was a good play.
I wish we had tried that with Romo last week. Its not bush. Its not unsportsmanlike. At least not the basic notion of trying to stop a kneel down play and get the football.
You can argue about the tactics, but the basic premise to me is go make the play and keep the game alive.
I'm fine with that. And none of TC's false outrage will change it.
