#98QBKiller Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 This is interesting. When I first heard about Manning's neck surgery this is exactly the game/play I remembered (I'm looking for a video of the play right now but can't seem to find one). I think McIntosh and another defender sandwiched him and he had to sit out for a few plays. Tony Dungy seems to think this is where his neck issues began: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2011/writers/peter_king/09/11/week.1/1.html Tony Dungy had an excellent observation on our Saturday night NFL special on NBC. He said Manning's neck history dates to Oct. 22, 2006, when his neck got wrenched and his helmet ripped off on a hit by two Washington defenders. We showed the highlight on our Saturday show, and Manning, after being hit and crumbling to the ground awkwardly, lay there for a second, and when he rose, he stretched his neck and shook his right arm for a second, as if trying to get the feeling back in it. "Earlier in the game,'' Dungy told me, "I'm outraged that there was a flag for roughing-the-passer on Dwight Freeney for just grazing the quarterback's helmet. So I'm yelling at the ref [scott Green], 'Where's the flag! Where's the flag!' And I don't yell much, but I did then. So I didn't notice Peyton calling timeout and being shaken up. Peyton came to the sideline and said to [backup] Jim Sorgi, 'Jim, start warming up.' As the timeout went on, he said to us, 'I can stay in, but we need to run the ball here.' '' Which the Colts did, settling for a field goal deep in Washington territory. "Then we sort of forgot about it at halftime, and Peyton seemed fine," said Dungy. "He lit it up in the second half. He was on fire [throwing for 244 yards and three touchdowns]. But that's the year we started cutting back on his throws at practice. I'm not putting two plus two together. I just figure he's getting older and he needs some time off, he's made enough throws. But now, as I look back on it, there's no doubt in my mind that this was the start of his neck problems.''

DieHard86 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I remember that play--it was amazing to see anyone, especially the 2006 skins defense, hit Manning that violently. And it wasn't a dirty play/penalty, as Dungy suggested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky21 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 That was one of the hardest most awkward hits I've ever seen a QB take. They bent that dude backwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#98QBKiller Posted September 12, 2011 Author Share Posted September 12, 2011 If anyone could find a clip of the hit I'd appreciate it. I looked on youtube and NBC's sports page since he said they showed it on Saturday, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Lloyd Christmas Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 i remember that. i remember manning playing pretty sub par before that hit, then he got decked, and its like it jarred his inner beast loose and he proceeded to embarrass us the rest of the way.

Skinz4Life12 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 i remember the hit like it was yesterday. i'm almost 100% sure phillip daniels clothes-lined him and someone hit him low and bent him backwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

21HailStorm Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Looks like it was PD 93 & AC.... Still searching for the vid. Can you imagine what it feels like to be twisted by these two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeSkins Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Looks like it was PD 93 & AC.... Still searching for the vid.Can you imagine what it feels like to be twisted by these two? I can't imagine Manning could breath very well with PD93's giant biceps crushing his windpipe, either. Not a position I'd like to be in. I don't remember the play as clearly as some here, but I remember being thankful that there was no penalty called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redskins55 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Ya know.. When I heard Manning was having neck surgery I immediately thought back to that hit. It looked like a wrestling move by Phillip Daniels. There was alot of emotion because the Redskins prided themselves on their defense.And this version of the Redskins defense had never faced Manning so they were hype. TI believe that hit ignited their offense though..lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bliz Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 IIRC the general consensus was that this hit made Manning very, very angry. You wouldn't like him when he's angry As he proceeded to torch us in the 2nd half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justice98 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 He went 5 years before needing surgery. I wonder what he was doing in the interim. Like what were his doctors saying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bang Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I was amazed he didn't even miss a single play. No matter what anyone thinks about Manning, he's one of the toughest guys to ever play the game. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrypticVillain Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Oh my goodness, that tackle was ridiculous. :no: Not saying it is dirty, I just can't believe he actually got bent like that. Manning needs to retire. You have three neck surgeries in 19 months, you need to quit while you are ahead. He is going to mess around and leave the field on a stretcher if he keeps on playing. The all white jersey is still a good look :2cents: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scruffylookin Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 What I remember about this game is the Colts trashing us and Brunell "led" us to some cosmetic scores/yards late and Gibbs cited Brunell's performance in the postgame, I wanted to throw my remote through the damn window listening to that.

TradeTheBeal! Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Recall this vividly. It was a brutal hit and I was shocked that Manning stayed in the game. On a side note, I can trace Kordell Stewart's downfall to being annihilated by Lavar Arrington on a naked bootleg in the first quarter of a preseason game. Anyone remember that?
