I have to wonder if the Williamsburg coaches read this site.

Not the worst I have seen but very bad and ejection worthy. I will also say it is a gutless move by the kid. It really shows how "tough" you are when you get a running start and unload on a defenseless KICKER...the KICKER?!?!?, C'mon man!

 

Glad the coach went out and immediately talked to him.

Ok, I'm going to play the role of unpopular devil's advocate. If you have an opponent that is mercilessly running up a score , and both you and your opponent know you you don't have the skill to stop them, is there any point at which a "cheap shot" becomes appropriate? I say if your opponent is overtly looking to humiliate you, I say yes there is!

No, there is not a point where it is OK to put a player's safety at risk to avenge a scoreboard issue.

Definatly cheap shot. I'm glad the coach talked to the kid, but if he returned to the field then the coach is wrong.

No. It's NEVER OK to try to hurt another player, especially with a blatant cheap shot.

The answer is no. First of all, the "kicker" did not make the decision to run up the score. Cheap shotting him is totally unacceptable. Second, up three scores with 3 minutes to go is a comfortable lead but not insurmountable. There have been some crazy endings to games this year in the playoffs. Third, whether you lose by 21 or 28, who cares? Now if it is a running clock game with one team up 50 and the team is still throwing deep, I understand being mad but not cheap shotting the other team...now if you get a clean legal shot on a guy and decide to hit him hard, go for it.

It was 3rd and 15 going in from the 21 and they needed a first down to ice the game. No pass plays had occurred prior to the TD catch during that drive.

 

Actually, it was a great throw and catch.

I was not thinking of this particular circumstance. Clearly, intentionally roughing a kicker is blatant, and uncalled for. How about when you are the victim of multiple cheap shots, and the officiating does not share your perspective?

You said blatantly running up the score before, motif about enduring cheap shots yourself. Which is it?

 

The answer to either situation is no. It is never the correct code of action to intentionally injure an opponent or to instruct your players to do so. If your players are in danger and the officials won't do anything about it then pull them off the field.

So if your QB just got laid out on a late, cheap hit, you are going to respond by taking him out of the game and telling your players not to respond?

Yes. That's exactly what you do.

I hope your screen name is just a moniker you chose and you are not actually a Coach. Can't believe anyone would believe the way you do, nevertheless a coach!

Yes, because that's what mature, reasonable good coaches do.

Unsportsmanlike play from the WBurg coaching staff that led to a dirty play by an individual player that led to him getting berated by a coaching staff.

 

Kid should have been ejected.

 

Think the Raceland staff handled it correctly.

 

Williamsburg staff should have also got a tongue lashing for not acting like they have been there before.
