Default Sav Rocca - What a hit!

Did anyone see the hit that Sav Rocca copped in his first practice game in the NFL yesterday?

I didn't think that anyone could take out a kicker!

Give me your take on this one as it looked like the biggest hit big Sav ever had.

Yeah I saw it, a bad cheap shot. Sav will bounce back but I doubt he'll make it as the first punter, he'll be as a backup for now till he gets his consistency up.

Thanks Plugg3r,

That really was a very very cheap shot.

If that was in the AFL, players would have come from everywhere!!!

You have no idea jas, just no idea. You seem to by a typical Australian Sports supporter. You think AFL is the be all and end all, that no other sports are as good etc and that AFL is toughest, fasted blah blah. Educate yourself.

Brades u argue for the sake of it..... If a hit like that happened in the afl.... and you know you have seen it happen, they don't just dust themselves off like Sav did.... they don't get up....
