Yeah, unless he can somehow disconnect his own head before he tackled him, there is literally nothing else physically that could possibly done differently. That rule is so stupid.
Agree. But, I think they are just trying to send a message to players everywhere nowadays. No neck or head area. Just have to be a smarter tackler nowadays. Isn't easy...but it is what it is.
Nothing. Well he could have gone more towards the midsection I guess but I don’t think it is reasonable to ask a defender to make that decision split second
Yes or Bourguet
Come on. Split second? He had plenty of time to make a decision to go lower IMHO. He chose not to.
I am saying that more broadly versus that play specifically but feel free to overreact
No one's overreacting. Just being logical. Likewise, I would say let's not be too emotional in these situations...even as fans.
I think it was @PDXChris who asked about review and I think that is the solution. Independent review after the game to make sure we are all in agreement
Actually off the edge. But, yes, untouched and had plenty of time to decide on how to make that tackle.
Absolutely needs to happen!
Yeah he has to drop down and put his shoulder in that guys stomach. Silly penalty
Yeah, I was wondering about that, too. But then remembered they had mentioned earlier that the broadcast guys are old buddies with his dad. Not too much favoritism there.
The minute QBs started getting overprotected the minute hard hits turn them into martyrs
They have nothing else to talk about since this hasn't been a game since the 2nd quarter.
