I'm all for standing up for the QB and would have liked to see more of a reaction, but I don't want to see us get any penalties over it either. If one of our lineman had gone all Kyle Turley on Al and gotten thrown out of the game and suspended people would be bitching about that too.
What if Travis Johnson was exercising a little payback for a cheap shot that the cameras didn't catch when he got called for a personal foul for a late hit on Peyton? What would people's reaction be then?
At the end of the day as long as Schaub feels like the lineman have his back it doesn't matter if we perceive it as otherwise.

well, i think that COULD be a way to get back at some players haha....ouch. but really, how many times is a cb going to be a) in a pile/out of plain sight b) near you c) for long enough to perform said action? it's a lot less frequent than baseball's revenge frequency. every pitch could have bad intentions behind it. maybe there are subtle ways of payback in football, but none of them seem as easy as huck a ball at this guy's back.
if i remember right, the personal flag on tj's hit to peyton was a "oh my god, that's peyton manning" call...
bolded for truth
