Disturbing Audio from Saints Bounty Scandal

The main defense for anyone trying to defend the bounty system run by the Saints is that "everybody does it" and that the bounties were for hard, legal hits, not for intentionally injuring someone...well that defense might be as bad as the Saints D this coming year.

New audio/video has risen which finds Greg Williams giving specific instructions to hit players in the head and making dollars sign motions with his hands. At one point, he refers to a player with a history of concussions saying
"We need to find out in the first two series of the game, the little wide receiver, No. 10, about his concussion," Williams said. "We need to [expletive] put a lick on him, move him to decide. He needs to decide."
and
We're gonna swarm. We're gonna dominate the line of scrimmage. And we're gonna kill the [expletive] head. Every single one of you, before you get off the pile, affect the head … continue to touch and affect the head." 
So that whole "they weren't intentionally hurting people" defense seems out...and I would be extremely surprised to see as many, if any, players coming out to defend this type of bounty system.

and a longer story with more quotes including
He becomes human when we f------ take out that outside ACL.
in regards to Micheal Crabtee...
