Message: [QUOTE="tbonezone, post: 3959245, member: 1028"] i have seen several calls where the tackle itself seemed legit and/or the offensive player led with their helmet or changed planes on a slide whatever. the intent was to get defenders to learn to tackle differently than they did in the old school jack tatum "assassin" past. hitting and crippling defenseless players. do i agree with all the ejections ? no. do i think we've made the game a bit safer for everybody ? yes. perhaps a distant post mortem review of egregiousness could be conducted to decide whether a player should be allowed to return next quarter. but for now i'm cool with erring on the side of safety.
