Looking at his NFL stats over 49 games, he was doing fine. If you release a guy on one bad day, what does that tell the rest of the team? If any readers want to see an Aussie rules site by and for Americans, stop by afana.com We're happy to answer questions. The game is not as violent as everyone thinks. In fact, the injury rate is very low by NFL standards. Something about 350 lb guys wearing 40 lbs of pads running headlong into each other. You don't see that in the Australian football league. Collisions yes, but rarely deliberate line up and hit 'em stuff. It'll get you suspended. I’m not sure I would describe Ben Graham as a “legend” but he was very good in Australia.
