An offensive player should be considered down when they are wrapped up just like a QB in the grasp. If that sounds ridiculous then so is this rule.
@RSherman_25 Love you Sherm, but this type of tackling is dirty and you know it. Risk of injury to ball carrier is so high. You use to talk about player safety. Not a concern anymore?
@RSherman_25 Defenders can still blast their helmet into the knee of an offensive player who isn’t looking (see: Kerby Joseph), but it’s illegal for an offensive player to do that to a defender.
@RSherman_25 What if all defensive players went on strike. How are they supposed to do their jobs?
@RSherman_25 It is silly that the hip drag is illegal but once wrapped up the entire o-line can carry the pile to the end zone.
@RSherman_25 Oh stop it. You just whining to whine at this point.
@RSherman_25 Let's just go two hand touch all around. It's good for player safety.
