So if Kerby takes out two more ACL's this week with the same knee-targeting technique, you still wouldn't blame him, right?
Just because it’s not in the rule book, doesn’t mean we have to like it. It doesn’t mean that we cannot have an opinion that it’s not okay.
Well said, Elm.
Nope I wouldn't it's within the rules. They better hope so because this is just gonna continue to happen if they don't.
Lmao I don't think I ever ran from that but ok.
Lol their you go again putting words in my mouth. I never said if you don't agree with me that yall are dumb. I did say if you don't understand why this is happening they yea...yall are dumb.
The horsecollar tackle was once legal. You once could dive at a QB's knees. Anyone remember Andre "Dirty" Waters?
The nick scott hit was perfection. But answer me this you think he makes that same tackle 10 times in a row without drawing a flag or a fine? If the answer Isn't yes than that's the point I'm making. Why risk either when they can go low and be safe from both?
Hitting with your head down is not safe fir either player.
No it doesn't and I've acknowledged that somewhere in this thread. I'm just saying some if not most defenders are gonna go low so they don't get fined or flagged.
Low is hitting him in the thighs above the knee. This is dangerous for the same reason I mentioned above and I don't see this type of hit that often.
Idk what to tell you but I see that same hit at least 3x a gm either attempted or landed and I don't just watch lions and rams gms. Hitting players above the knee doesn't always work. Deebo is a perfect example of this and you can't just ban all below the knee shots because chop blocks are still a thing. It's at the point where the gm is so heavily favored for the offenses that if you take something away they'll have to take something from the offense as well.
Cool at least someone watched that.
It does to me because if he gets a knee to his face through the face mask he is probably going to have second thoughts about going for the knee with a broken nose.
Actually it does. If he is head up tackling, he is not driving all his momentum into that knee. It's simple physics. By launching with his head down, he is driving full force into the knee rather than spreading his momentum out. If he had his head up, I doubt anyone here would have had a problem with it because it wouldn't have meant pin pointed pressure directly to the side of the knee.
Same thing.
