Running at full speed toward a person running at full speed with the ball in air and you want him to wrap up?Agreed its gotten to soft in the NFL, but they know the rules, Wrap him up.
That db had the perfect angle to wrap him up. I know it's a lost art but Christ stop leaving your feet.Running at full speed toward a person running at full speed with the ball in air and you want him to wrap up?
Stop posting you fucktard.
Did you not watch the slow mow? His shoulder hits him right in the shoulder/chest. Was pretty clean just looked bad at full speed and the way his neck snapped back.Speaking of should be penalties, that was an illegal hit too despite wrapping up.
Even some helmet to helmets are tough. How many times have you seen a player duck in to one. Really is tough to watch.The state of pass interference and WR/DB contact in general is a hot mess. It's incredibly subjective and unevenly applied from refereeing crew to crew...and when you're dealing with a spot foul or 1-yard-line penalty it can really fuck up games.
I really like what the league has done with helmet to helmet hits and horse collar tackles, but if those aren't happening I fully believe they need to let these guys play ball more than they currently are.
Agreed that was a text book tackle.Did you not watch the slow mow? His shoulder hits him right in the shoulder/chest. Was pretty clean just looked bad at full speed and the way his neck snapped back.
On slow mo it looked like his helmet hit the other guys faceguard. Not saying it was a bad hit, was definitely borderline, but you don't call borderline against the Patriots. I actually think it looked clean at full speed and bad in slow moDid you not watch the slow mow? His shoulder hits him right in the shoulder/chest.

It looked like the crown of his helmet went right into the chin of Pitta which is an illegal hit, and frankly, way more dangerous than the hit on Welker.Did you not watch the slow mow?

This is what needs to be done. They changed it in the 70's because of Mel Blount, needs to go back to contact past 5 yards to level the playing field.They should allow more contact by DBs but they won't because offense is more exciting.
