1) get an unsportmanlike penalty and get penalized 15 yards 2) risk getting tossed out of the game and 3) probably get fined by the league for removing his helmet.
That type of behavior is no longer accepted by the league. Keith did not go to the Pro Bowl because the team had a bad year. He is a Pro Bowl caliber linebacker, period.

titan west said:the reason he never gets a chance to lay wood is because the other teams are always going away from his side, don't you ever notice that.
CriticalTheory said:Even Jeff Fisher knows that is
Straight BS that has nothing to do with not laying wood.
If that was the case then how come Ray Lewis was laying people down all over the field???
With that logic Jamie Sharper and Peter Boulware should have been the ones on sportscenter or the ones with all the big hits.
I've seen Arrington, Brooks, Peterson, Williams, Seau (prime) all lay wood on dudes when the play wasn't ran to their side. They flew down the line and layed them down or they ran across the field and layed them fools down.
Name one great LB who wasn't laying fools down sideline to sideline?
You must not have played football or at least at the LB position to make a comment like that.
What were
Butkus
Singletary
Taylor
Seau
Lanier
Bell
Nitschke
Thomas
Lewis
Huff
etc
all doing you think they just made big hits when the play was directed at them???
KamikaZ said:The problem isn't Bulluck; it's no secret that he's a coverage LB and is more similar to Derrick Brooks than anyone on your list. Your criticism should be directed to players like Sirmon, Boiman, and Kassell who simpily don't have the speed or athetism to be even starting LBs.
A big hit LB is not always the best LB. We have many problems on this defense; Bulluck is not one of them. :sad2:

Vigsted said:... I feel Kassell is fine, as I've stated before he's a bit in the Zach Thomas mold (though of course not as good), not the ideal linebacker but you can't argue with his ability to knock people around, which is what you'd want in the middle.....
