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.

    • Because Young is so historically bad that it just skews too far outside the normal deviations that perspective is easily lost. That or they just don't want to believe it.  The struggles last year would have been more about the infighting and poor roster building or idiot owner's hiring practices than with Stroud. He wouldn't have been as good but he wouldn't have been ruined here and the pressure was not Carr-esk if you take out the Young created portion from his playing style.  Dude is a young guy on a team coached by a Defensive guy building a good D but not building up the O in year 2 of his HC 1st time gig. Seems familiar... Go look at his output this year and not just some crappy Thursday night implosion game, I would take that in a second and never ever look back every time without a shred of doubt while eating 4 of those games a year with a giant smile on my face. 
    • There is zero reason to sit him if he is ready to go.  Putting him on a shelf and attempting to protect does him no favors. 
    • Stroud us nit the first QB thus franchise has missed on. He also won't be the last.
