I see it all the time when ball carriers make cuts. NFL players don't just hurl their bodies from 5 yards away with no control.
All this talk about "going for the knees" is just BS that proves Burfict doesn't get it. I'll eat my hat if he starts playing pass defense by hurling himself at a receivers knees from 5 yards away.
there are NFL coaches on the rules committee. If it was really impossible for an NFL player to make any body adjustments from 5 yards away the coaches would be raising hell about these rules.
I didnt realize that was the rule. Every time any receiver catches the ball the defender is automatically 5 yards away and can make a perfect form tackle ensuring he thinks about both he and the receivers long term health before initiating contact. Just like the rules committee drew it up.
The same rules committee that has Shaziers hit legal.
Never any bang bang plays in the NFL that draw flags apparently........
Please tell me with every ounce of a players body leaning forward starting the process of the tackle how much of an adjustment they can make?
