I personally think that line is huge if you arent a dumbass. Browner for the patriots said yesterday he is going to tell his teammates to abuse Shermans arm and hope he gets knocked out the game.... Thats football. Twisting an ankle or stomping on an ankle isnt. That is a very clear line

To me it is a clear line between exploiting and cheap shots. But I still think all fall under the "intentional injury" category. Back in the day I wouldn't think as much of it, but it's a new world now.

Whether intentionally trying to take someone out of the game by causing a physical impairment is part of football is an open question.
