It's dangerous for both the tackler and the opponent to look down before the hit and lead with the crown of your helmet. That's not physics, it's poor tackling.
If you watch it in slo-mo, he went in with his helmet, but the HIT itself was from his chest/shoulder. Because immediately his head right back up....and if he really "lead with his helmet", he would've went thru Shcaub.
at what point did he lead with the crown of his head...replay that video second by second and figure that one out
this is what I'm talking about....its like y'all speak without using any kind of definitive measurement
its always "he lead with his head"....NO every tackle is made with you leading your head....you don't say "FINE THAT CORNERBACK BECAUSE HE JUST MADE A SHOELACE TACKLE BY LEADING WITH HIS HEAD"....no you shrug it off and say good tackle....but that tackle is THE DEFINITION of leading with your head (don't worry I'll wait as you ignore this)
it should be determined based upon the angle of the tacklers head with respect to the field
The rule should never have been "if you lead with your head." It should be "once the defender drops their head and the opposing player is no longer in their direct field of view."
You don't think the linebacker coming at an angle, making a tackle on a sweep leads with his head? Aren't we taught the best way to stop a defender on an angle is to put your shoulder into their hip and your head in front of their body? How in the world can I put my shoulder into somebody's hip without leading with my head.
The only time ppl
is when its a HUGE hit or helmet to helmet hit. Which makes the ruling hypocritical, because all it takes is a small change in direction to make a normal hit and huge collision.
how can y'all complain about arm tackles one game
then complain about leading with your helmet the next
what football are you dudes playing???
the fukkn oklahoma drill is the most dangerous drill in the fukkn game but its practiced routinely....its like y'all totally throw angles away from this entire discussion and just focus on the impact of the hit
that drill is 2 ppl running STRAIGHT toward each other...can we do some math here please
1) rule in football is to be the lowest man
2) the person with the ball is not going run at an angle because it makes em vulnerable to the defender
3) the person with the ball is going to try to steam roll the guy in front of him (but here again we totally ignore that in order to run someone over you have to lead with your head)
4) what is the defender left to do??? you ever try getting lower than a muhfukka trying to get lower than you...how do you tackle that man without leading with your head
then complain about leading with your helmet the next
