Why has this not been seen in the playoffs?

Why hasn't anyone tried the short safety's equalizer? When a taller, leaping WR goes up for a "jumpball" down-field, stop trying to out leap him for the ball! You're toast. What you should do is take advantage of his air. Plant a driving shoulder into the hamstrings. Result? Sore hammies, and you turn that WR a reverse somersault, likely resulting in a shoulder-first crash to the ground. If he holds on to the ball, at least you've made him earn it! I have grown weary of seeing 5' 10" safeties/corners trying to play jump ball with 6' 3" and above receivers. Cut him a flip!! These are the type of bonecrushing tackles that scare the wits out of receivers, whether they'll admit it or not!

:D

It's football, people, a CONTACT sport. Besides, it is a LEGAL hit. As for the basketball remark...in basketball, the move would be a flagrant foul, and rightly so...football is a different beast altogether...shoot! maybe I'm too old. I still remember watching games with bloody noses, torn uniforms, broken bones, knocked out teeth... I guess I'll have to get used to watching the new "civilized" game, custom-tailored to appeal to all the metrosexuals out there. Chai tea anyone?

It was just some good nature joking.....hell I appreciate Albert Haynesworth's stomp on any Cowboy's face.!! Make the leaping wideout think twice when jumping for that pass.

    • Well, the whole rationale used  for the high IQ point guard is it would allow us to spend our resources elsewhere….instead it’s all our first rounders ever since to support the bad pick.  Reality is our front office is just bad.  If you wanted Bryce Young you were going to need to do something unique and special for him.  Instead we just insert a QB with traditional tools into old NFL concepts that pair with traditional talent and our pass game is whack
    • Good to see some other folks are speaking the same language on this. It's simple common sense. But it seems like there's a disconnect due to the misplaced value the team has put on Thielen because he was the only vaguely good veteran WR willing to sign with the Panthers after we traded away DJ Moore. That time has come and gone. We have two first round WR's on the roster now.
    • Yeah I’m turning this into a Bryce can’t play QB thread. Just stating that offense was a poo show two years ago. No QB is succeeding in that, much less a rookie. I feel like it’s become a common debate strategy on here to just jump down the rabbit hole of saying he is just bad in so many ways when any certain point gets countered. If that doesn’t work we can deflect to how poorly this team has been ran. In regards to the actual point we are debating, the OL was struggling, half of the skill players aren’t on a roster, Mingo has done nothing with his new team and the staff are either not coaching or on their 3rd team in 3 years, aside from McCown (I liked McCown too). Honestly about as bad as it gets. No need to try to state how good of an offense it was billed it because that has been proven false at this point.
