Would you send in a player in to intentionally hurt Tom Brady?

If you where coaching against the Pats and Belichick had him in the game still throwing the ball trying to run up the score with the Pats already up by 21 or more in the 4th quarter?
I would.
I would.

Going on it on 4th down with a 40+ point lead in the 4th is running up the score.
you dont stop until the game is over, no matter what the score
intentionally hurting someone is bad sportsmanship no matter the reason
This is true... I don't have a problem with the Pats actually scoring that many points (and keep scoring after the game is well decided), but when you are going for it on 4th down and keeping your starters in at that point, then don't be surprised if someone takes a cheap shot at someone.
You would think that they'd want to get Cassel some meaningful reps incase something would happen to Brady... that is a great team with depth just about anywhere, but if Brady went down, they can kiss their season goodbye. That's why keeping him in in the 4th quarter up by 40 points is the stupidest, most arrogant thing that you can do.

So is leaving in your starters and going for it on 4th down when you are up 40.
Steve Young was actually saying the Pats were running up the score on the pregame a few weeks ago. He thought it was wrong for the NFL
I guess his memory is real bad.
That doen't negate the fact that the starters wher STILL IN THE GAME
I disagree with that-perhaps at the pop warner and high school level its unsportsmanlike, but not in the college or the pros.
I would say its bad coaching though, why risk injury to a starter.
But that brings me back to my original point, you dont stop until the game is over.

Alright what did you want him to do kick a field goal???
Punt when they were on 7 yard line???
Go to a knee with 11 minutes to go in the game???
take a knee when up by 5-6 touchdowns
BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA!
Who's gonna get through that line?
Ahead of the line of scrimmage, hit him like you would hit a running back.
I didn't like Joe Montana all that much, but I still can see that Giants lineman (Leonard Marshall) putting his helmet into the middle of Joe's back at full power. Joe came back eventually but that dirty hit ended his "legendary" days.
I know a lot of folks don't like Brady for one reason or another, but once you start hinting at personal injury as a punishment for a personal insult, you need to check yourself into the local psychiatry clinic.
I'd send some over-weight scrub off the end of the bench and give him a cheap shot after the play is over. Roll over his knees.
If you are in a position on the field where a punt is not an option, you go for it and give the opposing D the opportunity to stop you.
Every, yes every, football coach, even the clueless Eric Mangini knows and understands this. Gibbs did not complain about what transpired, just some media folk who dislike Bill Belichick because he is not a warm fuzzy interview, and has snubbed many media members in the past.
Have you ever seen a game where anyone takes a knee with 11 minutes to go?
I haven't and I have been watching football for over 30 years.
I don't see kicking a field goal as running up the score... they were in field goal range on 4th down, just kick the ball and go about your business.
I don't think they should kneel 3 times and punt the entire 4th quarter, but to go for it on 4th down, just so you can try to score a touchdown is low class in my opinion.

no but we might see a game where someone takes brady's knee and crushes it lol
If that guy doesn't cross the street faster I am speeding up to hit him.
My last sentence makes as much sense as your "I would".
"lying sideways atop crumpled sheets and no covers

No, that's when you run the ball. Going down field when you're up buy 30 with ten minutes to go, is not a good idea. 1, you could throw a pick, 2, the clock doesn't keep running, 3, it's in poor taste.
Might be this Sunday against the Biils, they owe NE one anyway.
That is the way it is in coaching circles. It amazes me that so many of the "experts" in the media and on ESPN are so clueless and up in arms still about this 3 weeks later.
