I can’t stand this late slide bullshyt. QBs go down at the very last second and the defender is expected to react with robot speed. Josh Allen is notorious for this shyt, fake slides, sliding sideways and all kinds of BS.
The concussion came from his head slamming into the ground. Nobody in the league is getting up from thatSometimes concussions happen due to a massive hit to the head.
Sometimes it happens because the recipient has a glass jaw.
This instance seems like the latter.
He slid too late, defenders can't undo there momentum when they are trying to destroy an active running qbsome 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
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?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.
That exact slide is made 30 times on sundays and defenders in the same position never blow up a QBs head with their forearm. Stop excusing stupidity.He slid too late, defenders can't undo there momentum when they are trying to destroy an active running qb
its 2024, thats a dirty hit today. most defenders have figured out how to avoid this, there is no reason to excuse it and blame the slideHe slid too late, defenders can't undo there momentum when they are trying to destroy an active running qb
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.its football wasn't even a dirty hit to me , was going to tackle at the same time trevor was going to slide it was like bang bang
