If offensive players don't want a 2nd or 3rd player to join in tackling them, stop trying to break tackles and get more yards. Seriously. If the offensive player is struggling to break free and maybe even get a TD, then expect others to hit you.

Finally, some of you may remember that in 2005 Big Ben suffered a meniscus injury when the San Diego player went low on him as he delivered a strike that led to the game-winning field goal. Nobody said a ******* word about the defender going at Ben's knees. Literally, not one ******* syllable said, not one word written in angst.

Tammy gets hit on the knee in the 2008 opener and the media cry like a 1st grade class told Santa Claus crashed into Disneyland, killing him and starting a fire that burned the place down.

New rule for 2026: Only one defensive player may attempt to tackle the offensive ball carrier. Any attempt to become a secondary or assisting tackler, while tackler number one is still in contact with the ball carrier, will result in a 15-yard unsportsmanlike penalty against the defense.

Addendum to that:
Defenses are only allowed to put ONE person on the field.

So long as that player is not named "Watt," "Heyward," or "Fitzpatrick."

I'd have to retire from watching football for good. They already ruined much of what I loved about football. Seeing people get smashed,run over and battered into submission.

Hayward will be gone by ‘26. Brother will still be here but doesn’t have the pounds to convert to DT.

Fitz got paid and is now going to coast to the end of his career and avoid getting hurt.

Sick of looking at him since he's not hungry anymore.

Pretty hard to keep up to that type of wit Blitz. ‍

I find this witty banter quite droll.

If any of you think that this type of tackling is a result of the helmet to helmet rules then you obviously haven't watched football that long. These type of tackles have been a part of the game since the 90's when I first started to notice them ala Deion Sanders and others who simply can't tackle. Yes football is a violent game but this is a dirty play and I don't care what you think. Taking out any players knees to take him down is garbage if you ask me and I can't stand seeing it happen on my team or any other team for that matter.

by the current standards the hit was legal and fine but this type of tackling technique should have been eliminated a LOOOOOOOOOOONG time ago on all Levels of play. I would rather see the runner score than his career ended by a tackle that he had no defense for. I don't post anymore and im sure I will get roasted for what I said but it was a bull **** tackle and it should be outlawed. PERIOD!

If a tackle can potentially end a players career in one fell swoop then I think it should be considered dangerous and illegal. There are enough ways to get injured in football and eliminating this type of tackle is a long time coming. Just my .02!

In all seriousness..
Man do we need this guy to start making plays..
This Sunday would be a great time to start!

 

[stillwright]

Wow....we were all told that Fitzpatrick was the bestest. That his subpar play last season was because he was playing out of position. What gives?
