Injuries are a reality in football, no doubt. But you can't let players intentionally try to hurt other players as a means to an end. |

The last thing we need is another 15 yard penalty with a first down for the refs to use to control the outcome of the game. Last edited by BIG_DADDY; 03-21-2024 at 08:08 AM.. |

You have to go out of your way to tackle someone like that. Just like any penalty, there will be some questionable calls. But that tackle is totally unnecessary. It's a dirty play. If you can't beat them, injure them.

This is my thinking. The first time I remember ever seeing it was when it happened to Mahomes in the Jags game. It's a very unnatural way to try and get somebody on the ground. You have to be making an effort to do that weird shit, which means some asshole coach/coaches caught on to the fact that it leads to injury and started coaching players to do it. **** that and **** them. Make it illegal and start throwing flags on the newest dirty shit that people have discovered.

Whatever. The same method of tackling that has been taught at the youth level for decades is still completely legal and works. This flag football crying bullshit is over-the-top.

That's not accurate. There are plenty of clean ways to tackle. Just look at how elite our defensive backs are when it comes to tackling. No need to employ a tackling technique that seems dubious and less efficient unless the goal is to injure.
