Now that punishments
have been handed out to those involved in the
New Orleans Saints’ bounty program, you can expect audio tapes, like the
following one, to begin to surface over the next couple of months.
This one was recorded prior to the Saints’ Divisional Round playoff match-up
against the San Francisco 49ers this past season, and it features specific
instructions from Gregg Williams to injure several of the
49ers’ players, including Alex Smith, Frank
Gore and Vernon Davis. Here are a few notable
comments made by the former Saints defensive coordinator to his defensive
players:

“We don’t f*ckin’ apologize for how we’re going to play.”


“Kill the head and the body will die.”


“We’ve got to do everything in the world to make sure we kill Frank
Gore’s head.”
“Little 32 (Kendall Hunter), we want to knock the f*ck out of
him.”
“We hit f*ckin’ Smith right there (while pointing at Smith’s
chin).”
“Every single one of you, before you get off the pile, affect the head.
Early affect the head. Continue, touch and hit the head.”
And that was only the beginning, as he also instructed his players to test
Kyle Williams’ concussion, aim for Michael
Crabtree’s ACL, and attempt to injure Vernon Davis’ ankle by
bull-rushing him into a pile of players.
I’m going to go out on a limb here and assume that this can’t be good for
Sean Payton’s upcoming appeal, or Gregg Williams’ chances of
coaching in the NFL again anytime soon.

this may be NSFW.
