Ryan Clarks knock out blow to Willis McGahee.

The question in everyones mind is where does the fine line between helmet to helmet and a hit that lead to the helmets to connect. Last nite the world witnessed one of the biggest hits probably this season. Both Ryan Clark and Willis McGahee collided after Willis McGahee caught a pass and meet Ryan Clark in the middle of the field. Both players at one point leaded motionless. Clark later rose to his feet after laying on the ground for a couple of minutes and being checked by doctors. McGahee layed motionless for a long time after the vicious hit. Both teams surrounded the fallen teammate and respected opponent. McGahee was later carted off the field and was showing signs of movement. Now where i want to really look at is how people are callin Clark a dirty player. I see it this way, he had three possible options on how to hit McGahee. 1) Dive at McGahees knees (one already fucked up) and possibly break his legs. 2) Aim for McGahees midsection and possible break his ribs or anything in that general area and possibly hurt himself in the process. 3) Hit em like he did wit the intent wit hitting McGahee wit his shoulder and their heads connecting because of the momentum of their bodies stopping that quickly. Clark was just doing his job as a safety and a defensive player in the NFL. We watch Brian Dawkins every week take broader line late hits on the ball carrier and noone is callin him a dirty player so callin Clark a dirty player isn't right. I don't like seeing players get hurt in any level of this great sport but its part of the game and yes there should be rules enforcing safety but there is only so much control a person has on their body.
