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.

Addendum to the addendum:

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.
