Honestly, just a beautiful hit from Zach Thomas his rookie year. :D

ZT was a BaddAss

Still one of my favorite Dolphins players to date. He and Danny are the biggest reasons why I became a Dolphins fan.

For sure. The announcer says it was helmet to helmet. Watch it closely looks like he hit him below the helmet to me, just hit him like a missile.

I heard the announcer say shoulder to shoulder.

I heard the announcer say shoulder to shoulder.

Phil Simms says helmet to helmet at about the :47 second mark. Paul Maguire does say shoulder to shoulder prior to that however.

 

[Zounds]

ZT highlights never get old. He was one of a kind

 

[Dthrill_08]

Great and legal hit!

 

[Mr. Day]

I miss watching that dude play football. They should play videos of him every night for Koa Misi.

Legal or not... Hed definitely get fined in todays league. Absolutely no doubt about it.

Yeah right. Zach earholed that guy. He'd get fined for that hit today.

Zach was too short to intentionally go helmet to helmet. It was classic Zach Thomas, it was clean. It shouldn't be a flag he is just trying to run through his guy. It's what the game is suppose to be. I despise people intentionally trying to cause an injury but in many of these cases it's just football or what I think football is. Better than a career ending shot on a guy's knee. Today I don't know, it was close to what they'd throw a flag on. Factor in it's the Patriots increases the odds of a flag.

It shouldn't be a flag but even it's two other random teams (not the NFL's favorite Pats) they might throw the flag today.

before I even opened the thread, I knew it would be THAT hit against the Pats. Just awesome!

 

[Buff]

As good as hit it was, today, it would be illegal. 100% helmet to helmet. You can hear the helmets collide. That would 15 yards, 25k.
