Body slam

[sphincter]

Yep that’s the play I was thinking of.

NFL Fans: The NFL has pussified itself into irrelevance!

Same Fans: That guy tackled him too hard!

It's not about that. It's about inconsistencies in the officiating.

It's not about that. It's about inconsistencies in the officiating.

Had the whistle blown? If not, last time I checked there was no roughing the running back penalty.

Any Miami dolphins defender slams the other teams player its a penalty maybe even a fine...but it's ok to body slam Achane?

If its the video thats posted about 6 posts down, then thats nothing. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that tackle.

 

[Buff]

I think he was talking about how they lifted him off the ground, when he wouldn't go down and then they slammed him down. It was on his 20 yard run, I believe.

Edit 2: And yes, that Murray guy did slam him, with help from a teammate.

Nothing wrong with that tackle either. aggressive - yes. Thats about it.

That was no slam. A little aggressive yes but this is a man's sport last time I looked.

You must of been in a coma since last time you looked? They throw flags over anything these days…it was a man’s sports before the millennium

No sh.t, right?

 

[Jamesw]

That wasn’t a slam. Not even close.

 

[BenchFiedler]

Achane is too small for the NFL 1st of many injurries for him.

You must be fun at parties

This was the one I felt was unnecessary. Stopping the player's forward momentum therefore completing a legal tackle. Then proceeded to lift and power slam Achane into the turf. IDK, normally a power slam consists of the shoulders and head being the target. With so much emphasis on concussions I would think this would be a rule which should be created.

There is a difference in playing hard and playing ugly thug like. Tua was aggressively pushed down after the whistle and play were over in Buffalo and Body Slammed in Cincinnati after his momentum was stopped. Both creating potential concussions and or symptoms, and time off. I prefer tacking like Zach Thomas, aggressive, hard, without the majority of people questioning the validity of it. His tackles were violent, with some being considered too close to the chin. But his play ceased when stopping the play was obtained and or whistled dead.

 

[Dolfan Dave]

I don't believe either of those plays were it. This happened later in the game.

 

[EasyRider]

unfortunately this will happen often with Achane. He’s a hard runner but small. He doesn’t give up on plays and bigger DTs will lift him up drop him to cease his prowess.
