Packers offensive line coach Larry Beightol agreed that Warren Sapp did not break any NFL rules with his hit on Chad Clifton on Sunday. Beightol, however, was livid about the hit and believes it was unnecessary.

	“	When we see him again, we'll see how that dog fares. We'll cut him every single time. I want him to know that. ”

And Beightol went a step further, saying that when the Packers play the Buccaneers again, they will retaliate against Sapp -- in a legal manner.

Sapp made an aggressive -- and legal -- hit on Clifton during an interception return in Sunday's game. Clifton, a standout left tackle, will miss the rest of the season and may have spinal damage. The NFL declined to discipline Sapp, ruling the hit was within the rules. After the game, Packers coach Mike Sherman confronted Sapp about the hit, and the two had to be separated. The Bucs won the game 21-7.

Beightol says he called Bucs defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin to let him know how upset he was -- and still is -- with Sapp's hit.

"It's not a cheap shot, but there has to be something where these players look out for each other," Beightol told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on Monday. "There will be other games. There will be other times. Like the saying goes, every dog has his day. We'll see about him.

"Everyone is fair game. When we see him again, we'll see how that dog fares. We'll cut him every single time. I want him to know that."

Beightol said in the past he told his linemen to block Sapp up high and avoid high-risk cut blocks that could lead to injury. He said that went out the window when Sapp hit Clifton in what he considered an unnecessary play.

"There's no need for that," Beightol told the newspaper. "If he's a big, tough, hard-nosed guy, then mix it up in the trenches. I told Monte that we didn't cut him because we didn't want to ruin their season. If we play them again, he's fair game. Somewhere we'll see him."

The Packers and Bucs are not scheduled to meet again during the regular season. However, they may very well square off in the playoffs.
