Go to the Ravens media center on baltimoreravens.com and click on the radio tab then exclusive audio, then find Bart Scott on their. He sounds mad as hell at Reggie Bush, says something about him taking a cheap shot at Scott and Bart doesn't know what kind of LBs Bush has been playing against. Good stuff.

omg, haha, I just went back and they took it down and put up a different interview with him. Basically he said that Bush tried some high school cheap shot on him.

Larry: You were one on one with Reggie a bunch of times what's the coaching technique or assignment alignment that you're doing to keep him in front of you, How do you play him?

Bart Scott: Listen I don't know what type of Linebackers he's been going against but he's got it twisted, this ain't your average linebacker core, he can juke do whatever he want, he is still going on the ground. He tried it twice and hit the ground twice and hes sitting on the bench drinking some gatorade.

Larry: And that's the way he plays, I mean he's going to do the spin move. He's going to

Bart Scott: He can do whatever he want, he took a school yard, junior high cheap shot at me and he.....

I love Bart Scott. You can tell he doesn't like these high brow, Heismann Trophy types who think they know it all. Bart Scott is a street smart, lunch pail guy who had to scrape and craw his way to first string.

Welcome to the NFL, Reggie Bush!!

Preston's comments were bs as usual. Bart can say what he wants. He was playing. But for Preston to say Bush quit is nonsense. I did not see the game, but the only proof he gives is Bush hitting the deck before his head got taken off. Good for him.

Maybe those of you (I trust) think Reggie quit, if so, then I'll consider it.- But coming from Mike I find that hard to believe. After watching Reggie for years, I don't think I've ever seen him quit.

Reggie was scared. You could see in his eyes that he had never seen anything like this defense before in his life. It was similar to how Gradowski looked when he came into the Tampa game. Both rookies were just amazed at the speed of the guys.

Reggie will be fine. He is still going to be a very good to great playmaker. But as for yesterday, he found out what its like to play a great NFL defense.

Bart Scott had Bush' number the whole day,as did the rest of the defense.

RavenDavey

I also disagree Bert, Reggie Bush looked like he tried to hit the schoolyard bully, but got knocked on his ass. All of a sudden he's fair catching punts and sitting on the bench with 16 yards rushing.

He played like he didn't really want to get hit yesterday.

Bush was beyond intimidated yesterday. The entire Saints offense played scared and it shows in the amount of offensive penalties, especially the false starts at home. Bush and Brees knew what was coming their way yesterday, but our presence was in their heads before the game even started and the rookie couldn't handle it!:eek:

Ravens0587

10-30-2006, 09:52 AM

I agree the whole offense played scared, but more then anyone bush was a pussy on the field. He ran like he was afraid to get hit. He didn't want to be out there.

Well I don't know about the whole Saints offense being scared, but Reggie Bush was scared for sure. At some point after the fumble and the int. he threw, he acted like what he is: a rookie facing a fear-inspiring Baltimore Ravens defense. This pretty much captures it: :179421:

I didn't hear the sound clip from the Ravens site, but here's the quote from Preston's column: "The media darling, aka the golden boy of the NFL, tried to take a cheap shot at me, so I told him I was going to put some extra on it," Scott said. "He must be used to playing against these guys in practice. He can do all those shakes he wants, but I wasn't going anywhere. I put a little hot sauce on that ankle."

The announcers said at some point during the game that Bart's nickname on the team is "The Mad 'Backer" so it's really no wonder to me that he scared the rook!

"I put a little hot sauce on that ankle."

I suppose I'll be in the minority here, but if Bart is bragging about causing an injury, or worse yet, if he's suggesting that he tried to hurt him on purpose, I don't think that's too cool.

Did you watch the play? It was as clean a tackle as you can get. Bush tried to do his spin-juke move, and Scott tackled him by his legs (as you should do). There was no foul or "trying to hurt on purpose". Hell, any player could get injured on any given tackle - it's a rough sport.

Bush is a crybaby, and Scott was just talking smack.

I guess Scott should be fined because he didn't get the memo about how important this game was to the beleaguered fans of New Orleans.

I saw the play, thanks for asking. I didn't notice anything dirty, but on watching the replays, Bart did seem to give him an extra twist after tackling him. I probably wouldn't have even noticed it if he hadn't bragged about it after the game.

Don't get me wrong, I like Bart Scott a lot, but if he decided to cheap shot some guy because he's jealous that that guy was a top draft pick and a media darling and Scott didn't get drafted at all (I don't know if that's true or not, I just heard some speculation to that effect this morning), then no, I don't like it.

Would you like someone to cheap shot Ray Lewis just because he's a star?

I agree Highwater. I like Scott also but why can't he just play and shut the hell up. These guys always have to be running their mouths. :(

No, but I didn't see a cheap shot. Not even Bush is saying Scott cheap-shotted him, so where is the controversy? Scott is talking smack. It's part of the game. Chad Johnson does it every week and everyone loves him.

I didn't say there was a controversy, and saying that everyone loves Chad Johnson is a real stretch, because I for one don't love him.

On the play where Bush hurt his ankle, Scott made the tackle by wrapping up Bush's ankles.

Bush was hurt during the play which wasn't dirty at all.

As Scott got up, he still had Bush's legs and sorta of threw them in a bit of disgust.

It wasn't really "dirty" IMO, but it also wasn't necessary.

That's the "sauce" that Bart is referring to.

Bart's comments are getting a lot of play today -- it was a topic on Cold Pizza this morning, and they are talking about it on Dan Patrick's radio show this afternoon. In fact, they interviewed Bart on Dan Patrick's show, and he came out of that pretty well, I thought. He said his "hot sauce on the ankle" comment was New Orleans related, which is probably not true but kind of funny.

I would hope this kind of stuff doesn't earn the Ravens a rep as a "dirty" team (like Denver with their blocking schemes) or it could come back to haunt us. It would just be so much easier if these guys would learn to shut the hell up. Scott's play is all the advertisement he needs he doesn't need to run his mouth.

I think it is a bit premature to be labeling Bush as a "coward". He's a rookie, he hasn't had time to fully adapt to the pro game. That judgement can wait for at least a couple years.

Ravens0587

10-31-2006, 07:36 PM

Did you watch him play? Maybe he is not a full blown coward but he was against us

corvuscorax

10-31-2006, 07:58 PM

I don't think he's a coward, I think he's a rookie. :eek:
Again, from the fat man's column I linked earlier:

"Scott said Bush tried to cheap-shot him on an interception return in the first half, and you could tell there was something personal between the two."

I'd love to see the Int. and the supposed "cheap-shot," but I haven't (no tivo and worked since 6 this morning, if they replayed it anywhere).
But if Bart Scott perceived that Bush had taken a cheap shot, I'm not gonna blame the "Mad 'Backer" for wanting to teach "golden boy" a lesson.

Bart didn't really hurt Reggie, and IMO, he never intended to. I think it was just a "welcome to the NFL" moment. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

I agree with Raven Davey. The Saints O looked cowed the first 40 minutes or so of the game. yes, they got two tds in garbage time. whatever. Their line got called for, what, 4 false starts in the first half, and our line--and I've been among their critics--had none. in THEIR house. Their o was rattled; ours was confident. that hb option was one of the stupidest plays I've ever seen, both the call (you want a rookie to do that against this D?) and the execution (if it's not there throw it away--but remember, he's a rookie). this ranks right up there with Schottenheimer's backward lateral in the Chargers game. they say, good teams don't beat themselves.
bottom line; their whole Offense was dazed, and RBush especially so.
I did see BScott give that ankle a little twist, but not enough to hurt it.
Maybe somebody with stats can look this up; how much are the Saints paying for 1st rounder Bush, and how much are the Ravens paying for (undrafted) R Prude, who has scored as many NFL tds (one) as Bush.
I'm sure he'll have a good NFL career, but, like most rooks, he has some growing to do.

to go off on a slight tangent, Dan Patrick annoys me. He went RIGHT after Bart for the comments, making it seem like Bart was such an evil, dirty player.

I somewhat agree, but Bart brought that onto himself by making that comment that made it seem like he injured Bush on purpose. I don't think it was a cheap shot but his post-game bragging about it is the only reason it became a story. I'm actually glad he had the chance to clarify things on Dan Patrick's show and with whoever else called him about it.

I generally like listening to him, but there are times when Patrick will pick out an "issue" and talk about it ad nauseam to the point that you want to reach inside the radio and slap him. The most blantant example of this I can think of was when he literally spent about three straight months talking about steroids every single day. He tried to pick up on the Scott "cheap shot" in this regard, but it didn't work, because no one, not even Olbermann thought it was much of an issue.

highwater

11-02-2006, 01:16 PM

I like listening to Patrick and Olberman together, but the rest of Patrick's show is pretty redundant. Without Dibble as a foil or partner, he just delivers monologues and he does the same ones over and over. I have the same problem with Mike and Mike in the morning -- I used to listen to that show all the time, but I recently gave up on it. It's basically a one hour show that they repeat over and over. And besides that, Greenberg is an idiot that I just can't put up with anymore.

Getting back to Bart Scott, I think he made a mistake with his post-game comments, but did pretty good damage control on Patrick's radio show.

HDDream

11-02-2006, 10:26 PM

I agree that not having a sidekick (and Showkiller doesn't quite measure up) has hurt Patrick's show. Besides the Big Show, I listen mostly for his interviews with the various ESPN reporters and analysts. When he's not doing that, it's hard to listen.

Oh, and I agree about both Greenberg and Bart Scott.

Ever since Rob Dibble left the show sucks for 2/3 of it.

I love listening to Colin Cowherd from 10-1. The man is pure genius.

to go off on a slight tangent, Dan Patrick annoys me. He went RIGHT after Bart for the comments, making it seem like Bart was such an evil, dirty player. He was talking to Ron Jaworski, who says those kind of things happen ALL the time, and you could hear Dan Patrick just trying to find any hole in his logic so he could convict Bart of being a horrible guy who should be suspended or something.
Just as bad, or worse, Tony Kornheiser, on PTI, said Who is this guy? I never heard of Bart Scott. Bart Simpson yes, but not Scott! I love TK, but I believe, if he's gonna stay on MNF, he better learn who Bart Scott is!!!!:rolleyes:
