Catchy title I know. I felt the need to weigh in on the 'dirty hit' in yesterday's Jets game. I didn't see it until on replay this morning but I don't think it was malicious. Look at it again if you can (try espn.com). The first guy hits Boldin from behind when the second guy launches himself toward Boldin's downfield shoulder (where the ball was). Because of the hit, Boldin is propelled forward and that's when the helmet to helmet contact occurs.
I'm not going to defend the Jet DBs decision to launch himself. That was just a bad idea from jump street. (I learned that from 'Playmakers'.) But he did try to put himself on Boldin's outside shoulder and break up the catch. So let's not all rush to judgement that this is the new Kermit Washington. This was a guy who was playing hard trying to play through the final whistle. He was a tad miguided in his efforts.
Get well AB...
