Mark Chmura Says the Packers Should Try to Hurt Brock Purdy

What a brilliant suggestion.

This is dumb.

Former Packers tight end Mark Chmura went on ESPN Milwaukee recently and revealed his blueprint for shutting down 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy, and it's this: Hit him illegally and take a 15-yard penalty.

What a brilliant suggestion.

Here's exactly what Chmura said:

CHMURA: "The reason we won in '95 when no one gave us a chance with San Francisco is because we intimidated them. That's why -- you guys are going to think I'm crazy -- a 15-yard penalty, and I don't condone this, but I kind of do in the playoffs, a 15-yard penalty for a late hit on Brock Purdy is not a bad thing as long as it's worth it. This is the mindset you go into when it's battle. It's kind of the reverse of hockey. What don't they do in hockey in the playoffs? They don't fight. In football, sometimes a 15-yard penalty is worth it early in the game if you knock the living crap out of the guy, and then he might hear ghosts."

First, Chmura should apologize immediately for this disgusting comment. It only reflects poorly on him and ESPN Milwaukee. Illegally hitting a player and potentially injuring him is not a winner's strategy, it's a loser's strategy. It's something Cobra Kai would do, if you catch my drift.

What's more, if the 49ers were to use this strategy against Packers quarterback Jordan Love and knock him out of the game, I'm sure Chmura would be irate and cry foul play. Which would mean he's just a fan with no convictions.

Someone mute his microphone.
