If those are their best examples, this rule is going to be a clusterfudge (as if we didn't already know).

When a runner gets lower, obviously the defender has to get lower to make proper contact. That's dang near impossible to do without your head going along with your shoulders. They're kind of attached that way.

Oh it's absolutely gonna be a clusterfuck. It cracks me up the more and more technical they try to get with these tackling rules. The NFL game is unbelievably fast, which makes it hard for the players to react in proper tackling form and also for the ref to make the right call. This rule will basically make it so that a foul can be called on most plays. It won't obviously, but it's application will be completely arbitrary and lead to a bunch of extra replays. This is an unbelievably dumb rule that can never be properly officiated in reality.

How are this years Longhorn freeagents doing? who is on a roster? who isnt?

Last I checked...

Jason Hall is on the Falcons.

Naashon Hughes is on the Packers.

Warren is on the Raiders.

Poona is on the Seahawks and is a good bet to make the 53.

Holton Hill is on the Vikings and also should make the final cut.

Antwaun Davis and A. Foreman are FAs.

Turns out Antwaun Davis is on the Lions right now. Hopefully he sticks and gets at least a practice squad spot.
