Swearinger cheap shot
Aug 18, 2013, 6:40 PM

Just saw his hit on receiver. Just like a ####. Cheap, dirty hit. Says he went low to avoid fine.

You saw the video and think it a cheap shot? It was a normal low lunging tackle. It sucks the receiver got hurt, but that was not a cheap shot at all.

If anyone else made that hit it wouldn't be assumed to be dirty. He lunged for a tackle on a receiver and hit him low. It sucks the guy got hurt, but that wasn't a dirty hit.

Said it in the other thread, but i didn't care for his

reaction. Most decent DBs would check to see if the guy was OK or wave for a trainer. Swearinger walked right over him beating his chest and crap.
The hit might not have been dirty, but Swearinger is still a thug. I know a guy from another message board that had a son in law on SCs team (punter i think), and even he talked about what an a-hole Swearinger was/is.

No, he didn't.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending his character. But he doesn't "walk over him." He stands up, claps three times, and is excited for the pass breakup. This wasn't the case of him standing over the player, or mocking/taunting him.
Now it looks bad, because he's celebrating a hit that caused an injury. But, we see those sorts of celebrations constantly on all levels of football. This wasn't taunting or poor sportsmanship (unless you think all such antics rise to that level).
It was a low lunging tackle that made contact to the knee of a moving receiver. It sucks it happened, but it wasn't dirty.

BTW I'm not saying he was taunting, just celebrating

his own play when someone else is clearly injured which i don't care for. And you can't tell me Swearinger didn't know he was hurt. It was immediately evident even without being able to hear him.

Cool.

Though I I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt only because as soon as he turns back around and sees the player still down he stops immediately and walks off the field.
I can easily see a scenario where he had no idea the dude was injured. It was evident to us because we had a wide angle TV view, from the angle of the hit who knows what was evident.

OK, he did a gesture with his hands

Didn't see that on the other angle, but honestly, that wasn't any more taunting then the thousand of other gestures done by any other football player on every level.
Again, he may be a monumental jerk, I don't know. I'm not defending his character. But I see nothing dirty about that play, and nothing beyond the norm for celebrating afterward.
The reason it is getting billed here as dirty and taunting is because of who he is, not because of the play itself.
But to each their own.

did you read what he said afterwards? he hit him low because he was trying to "stop what he was doing" - as in he wanted to stop getting fined/suspended for hitting high.

OK.

If it is your assertion that a tackle to moving player that hits the knee is by definition targeting the knee and dirty, then we simply disagree.

If anyone else in the NFL makes this tackle then this isnt even a thread on tigernet. Swearinger is a hard hitting safety and an emotional player but would never intentionally hurt someone. Some of yall need to #### and stop being butt hurt because he taunted Ellington. He was dumb for doing that as it could have cost us, but by no means does this makes him dirty.
