If a player is up in the air, they have little to no control over their body. When someone comes flying in full speed like a missile and leads with their head (like Collins did), there's a damn good chance to seriously injure someone.

A proper tackle requires the defender to wrap the ballcarrier up and drive through them. To many defenders today go straight for the big hit and don't tackle. Running full speed into and launching yourself into someone who has no control in your body will get someone hurt, or even worse killed.

I don't have a problem with the NFL protecting players, its how their enforcing these rules. They're not consistant at all.
Collins led with his shoulder.... aimed for his back. Roy was falling backwards. Do you really think that guys have the reflexes, state of mind, and body control to barrel roll before they make a hit on the sideline?

Wrapping up doesn't knock the ball loose.

You realize the only team that will be talked about this week has three total wins

This.

Not looking forward to the Favre cock slobber.

We'll also hear about the Cowboys sucking.

6-3 Packers? WHO CARES.

I disagree. They needed to take our Rodgers five minutes ago.
:lol Those things aren't of my concern. As long as Dallas gets beat down, they can have Flynn in there for all I care.

God damnit, Collinsworth! Aaron Rodgers is not elite. Just stop this nonsense.

He's certainly on his way though. Only a moron would say otherwise.

he did 'kinda' lead with his head, but it wasn't a malicious hit or anything like that. i don't get how people think that helmets aren't supposed to be used when one of the first things kids learn in pop warner is to put your helmet on the ball when you're tackling. then they tell you to lower your pads as an offensive player. the whole culture is built around lowering your head/shoulders and delivering a hit with your body weight behind it...

a wr coming down on the sideline? knock him the fuck out at all costs. don't go and ray lewis the guy, that shit ain't cool, but by all means deliver the biggest hit possible. 'wrapping up' isn't gonna knock that ball loose.


That's absolutely correct. I still remember doing Oklahoma drills when I was 10 and hearing the coach scream to "put your facemask through his chest, wrap with your arms and bring him down".....

It was at that point I said fuck this, I'm going to play roller hockey at the JCC.
 
Collingworth really mention Capers as a head coach candidate??:lol

Some guys are born to be co-ordinators (Capers, Kubiak, Philips,etc...) and some may become good head coaches.

Not that I'm saying Capers would be/was a good HC, but is judging him as an epansion team HC really fair?

That said I hope he doesnt leave this team. Love me some Dom Capers
