Or he could have wound up getting trucked by a power runner like when the SC QB squared up with our db that one play for the first down and ran him over for the first. I don't knock the db on this play at all. It was the smart play, tragic ending for our guy, but not dirty at all.Kwade23 said:
Eh. I disagree here. Could've stayed high and pushed him Ob easily. If tackles like this (diving at knee level from the side) were a common thing in CFB/NFL, there would be a lot more careers cut early.
Do I think it was intentional? no. Do I think it was poor fundamentals and laziness (head down and diving instead of staying on your feet) that ultimately led to the Moss injury? Yes.
Those are different scenarios. Their QB was 5 yards from the sideline and Moss was tight roping it. Moss ended up out of bounds after the hit. You stay high, Moss still ends up out of bounds. Go look at what happened to Nick Chubb last year (our maybe it was the year before?), every commentator agrees it was a dirty hit and it was the EXACT same style of tackle.ccolley68 said:Or he could have wound up getting trucked by a power runner like when the SC QB squared up with our db that one play for the first down and ran him over for the first.

If A&M had tried to tackle the SC quarterback like that they'd probably have had a sack.
If he stays high, Moss trucks the **** out himKwade23 said:

Rules to protect the QB, can't go low on the QB. However, take away the targeting BS and maybe that guy tackles Moss a higher up.czar_iv said:
I don't understand how this defender can hit Moss in the knee but when Shemar Turners hits their QB in the knee, it is a penalty.
Moss went low, the defender went lower. There was nothing more he could have done. This is football. Hate that Moss got injured. Like I said, he should have just ducked out of bounds and we wouldn't be having this conversation unfortunately.czar_iv said:

The most basic tackle known to man. Only someone who didn't play football would suggest that's not a normal tackle. LolHearne_Ag said:
