NFL news: Warner things he’s being picked on
Kurt Warner’s rumoured (imminent?) retirement has been a hot topic this season and, not coincidentally, so has his concussion trouble. Warner missed Week 12 with concussion-like symptoms and has taken more than his share of blows to the noggin during his great career.
He has also been very public about his fear of taking another serious headshot; that’s a big reason why he’s leaning toward retirement.
Now, his concerns have reached a new level. He told a Phoenix radio station this week that he believes opposing defenders are taking more cracks at his head than normal of late. He didn’t blatantly accuse anyone of deliberately doing it, however. I wonder if this is Warner’s way of (a) getting defenders to hesitate before they hit him and (b) getting refs’ attention before the game so that they’re extra strict on any high hits. Is it slimy?
Maybe. But it’s a smart strategy.
Preparation for next season continues among the non-playoff teams. Interim Bills head coach Perry Fewell is off to the Meadowlands to become the Giants’ next defensive co-ordinator. With a Bills team missing a boatload of starters, Fewell led a group that at least defended the pass pretty well.
The Giants allowed 31 touchdown passes this year whereas the Bills allowed 14. Congrats, Mr. Fewell – not for the job, but for escaping Buffalo.

One reply on “NFL Headlines: Kurt Warner Update”
Kurt may have taken one too many shots to the head if he is focused on someone taking a cheap shot at him. Getting hit is part of the game, so if that is his biggest concern he should get out.
