some teams clearly have been coached to avoid hits like this, some have not. its a dirty hit, most teams arent blasting sliding players like this
He slid too late, defenders can't undo there momentum when they are trying to destroy an active running qb

You don’t tackle leading with your forearm unless you are trying to knock someone’s head off.

Also when the qb is running straight at you, you know they are going to slide. You only dive to try and hit them some on the way down.
Ehh.... I've seen guys like Brian Dawkins, earl thomas, polomalu, etc lead directly with forearm shots to the chest/waist on a consistent basis. It's generally safer than leading with your helmet right?

Breh this is not the start of his slide, he is already sliding at this point and look where dude is. He saw an opportunity to take Lawrence out and took it. There was more than enough time to avoid Lawrence and certainly enough time to not bow him in the head. The Texans bench not clearing to come help their boy tells me everything I need to know.

:why: The concussion came from his head slamming into the ground. Nobody in the league is getting up from that



And before you try to shıt on the old school, that's two of the toughest, strongest, baddest mofos who ever laced up the cleats who would have been intimidating forces in any era.

As I said. Some guys get put to sleep due to taking an outrageously hard hit, and some guys get put to sleep due to having glass jaws. Tolerance for abuse varies between everyone, it's simply nature. It's no different than boxing.

And no, I'm not calling Lawrence soft if that's what you think I'm insinuating.
