That is the tackle the NFL wants them to make.
 
Swear to God the NFL will use this and hits like it to institute a "legal strike/hit zone". Can only hit receivers and QBs from the shoulders to the hips (making it impossible to tackle them if they do something like duck). smh.
 
If his leg wasn't planted, no injury at all and he gets spun like a top. Now players have to worry about losing their knees because the D has to over react to the rules that keep going against them. Let them brain each other again so they can at least walk off the field...

Sadly, there is nothing in that play that broke a rule. Just broke an ACL/MCL/and possible meniscus...
 
Joseph went head hunting on Justin Jefferson in the 2nd tweet. allegedly, this is his modus operandi.
 
The NFL only cares about outcomes of hits. I've seen at least 10 hits more ill intended without injury since Kazee
More importantly the NFL only cares about perception of doing something about head injuries. So no Goodell will do nothing. To be fair that was largely like Minkah on Chub.

Although, many receivers are pretty much defenseless when they're about to make a catch as was the case in this hit. I don't agree that he should have been penalized, I'm just wondering if it's only hits to the shoulder/head or everywhere. Like other rules, it seems so arbitrary and this is what drives me crazy concerning Kazee and other calls or non calls. Just look at some of the roughing the passer calls or ones that weren't during this weekend.

Then the obligatory make up call that the refs make within two or three plays afterwards, offensive or defensive holding or interference. You know it's coming, I can sit through most games without getting too worked up except when the referee's are inconsistent.
 
and again, this wasnt about THAT hit on Higbee. That's just one of the many that he's done - allegedly. He went after TJ Hockensen, too. dude has a proven history of this. Just as they said about Kazee.
