"tackle" football

[Zavala 1384]

Explain how you tackle a guy without targeting him? How are you supposed to know the guy is going to slide a half second before you make the tackle?

Both our linebackers get tossed for HITTING THE GUY WITH THE BALL.

Dude, that was a stupid defender mistake, QB was clearly sliding, you don't go head and shoulder first into that play especially today.....

th QB was sliding leg first, which makes the whole thing even more stupid that 33 hit him. 

then he continued to lead and spear with crown of the helmet. this was a PF way before all this silly targeting shit

i sure hope this is sarcasm

Come on, if that's not targeting, what do you think is?

[Zavala 1384]

Maybe I need to watch the super slo-mo, but fullspeed, you see the QB running strait up, you go to make a dive tackle. 

The dude slide AS he was getting tackled, causing his head to be at the level where the hit was coming from.

Either way, I don't think QBs should be invincible running the ball, that is fucking stupid.

You don’t make ‘dive tackles’ on QB’s

Right so the qb is invincible. Thanks for clarifying. Im sure when Sam runs out of the pocket and takes a helmet to helmet they will throw the other guy out of the game.

Ill stop bitching, but damn football is going to die a sad, slow death if we keep throwing out players for tackling.

Seriously, stop.

Johnson was already going down to hit the guy, he slid at the last possible second, damn near unavoidable targeting.

He slid a good bit before the last second IMO

It was an obvious targeting penalty. The players know the rules and how the game is called.
