I think we should've waited on D-coordinator and brought Gregg Back.

Mannign doesn't take hits. When his spidersense tingles, he goes down.

Irn-Bru wrote:Peyton will pick these guys apart. The Jets have one of the best pass defenses in the league and were helpless once the Colts made their initial adjustments. The Colts defense is good enough to keep the Saints in check. I don't think this Superbowl will be a very close game.

During their march through the playoffs, the New Orleans Saints have battered and bruised (and nearly broken) two future Hall of Fame quarterbacks -- Kurt Warner of the Cardinals and Brett Favre of the Vikings.

They're now setting their sights on a third man whose oversized forehead eventually will be memorialized in bronze.

Defensive coordinator Gregg Williams recently told a Nashville radio station that the Saints plan to rattle Colts quarterback Peyton Manning by hitting him whenever they can, and that the goal is to knock him out of the game.

"This guy's got a great clock in his head," Williams told 104.5 The Zone, via ESPN.com. "The big thing is that he throws the ball so early that we're going to have to do a good job of finding ways to get to him and when we do get to him we're going to have to make sure he gets a couple 'remember me' shots when we get there."

The Saints applied several "remember me" shots to Favre on Sunday, prompting many a Vikings fan to utter a phrase that for broadcast television purposes would be edited to sound like "forget you." One such hit to Favre's legs didn't draw a flag, even though NFL V.P. of officiating Mike Pereira admitted last night that a roughing the passer penalty should have been called.

And Williams won't be reeling in his troops for the Super Bowl. Instead, it sounds like he's willing to risk a few 15-yard walk-offs if it means that Manning eventually will be carted off the field.

"When you put too much of that type of worry on a warrior's mind, he doesn't play all out," Williams said. "If it happens, it happens. And the only thing you'd like for me to say is that if it happens you hope he doesn't get back up and play again."

You hope he doesn't get back up and play again. (We wonder what Archie thinks about his former team's objectives?)

In other words, "We'll gladly trade a penalty or two if it means that we get to see Curtis Painter instead of Peyton Manning."

In other words, the NFL should consider fining not only the players when dirty hits are applied to quarterbacks, but also their coaches.

Dude is NASTY!

Williams ought to be fined for even talking like that .. advocating hurting another player ... hoping he doesn't "get up".

And it was clear that the Saints employed that type of strategy against Favre, with some of the cheap shots they dished out. Favre played tough, and I was sorry to see the Saints win ... I started out rooting for the Saints, but not anymore.

I'll enjoy watching Payton tear their butts up.

There is no place in professional sports for intentionally trying to hurt a player .... disgusts me. Knock the heck out of them and make them fumble, YES, but not try to injure them.

Williams Sucks, and I'm glad his fat rear end is gone.
