I bet his knee is sore this morning. That shot looked like it hurt.

Problem is majority of players in NFL have been taught to tackle this way in high school and college.

Tebow plays with his poop

Clearly a dirty hit. Watch the slow-mo, even though he went low he clearly aims his forearm into Decker’s knee, looked like he had intent to injure.

Reports now say its a sprained MCL.
Confirm your facts before you report them.

Hitting people in the knees is cheap if the shot comes from behind. Since you arent allowed to go near anyones head you will probably see alot more of these. I dont think the hit was dirty.

No one seems to complain when its a TE like Antonio Gates running down the field and a CB dives right for his legs right?

People should give Harrison a break, it was one of the few good plays he made all day. He had a bad day… Tebow kept making him look silly. Actually, worse than silly, Tebow made him look slow, unathletic, and soft! He should have spent more time practicing to stop the option!

Bart Scott’s hit on Davonne Bess’ knee last week thinks the Harrison/Decker hit was perfectly clean.

allisab says: Why is it so hard for Harrison to hit a guy between the numbers? Was that a legal hit? Yes. But it was still a dirty hit.

I’m so confused by some of you–when Harrison was hitting players helmet-to-helmet, you called him dirty and demanded he start tackling players legally.

So what does he do? He hits a player legally and some of you still aren’t satisfied. You still call him dirty for something the league allows.

That was a good hit. Get over it.

The hit by definition was legal and thus he most likely won’t get fined for it. However its one of those unwritten rules not to go against. A grey area if you will

Why is it so hard for Harrison to hit a guy between the numbers? Was that a legal hit? Yes. But it was still a dirty hit. He tries to injure his opponents instead of going for the clean, safe tackle. Karma will catch up with him.

I do think Harrison makes dirty hits, but if you can’t hit high without a fine where are you supposed to hit? Geezz it’s freaking football….

When isn’t a ACL injury (torn) not significant?

Harrison injures another player. Shocker! Too bad he’ll be sitting home polishing his pistol (that’s no metaphor, he was on the over of a magazine with a gun, wasn’t he?). At least we’ll have a better chance of teams surviving with their injury diminished rosters largely intact. Buh bye, James.

Just awful to see Decker go out like that. I don’t think Harrison was trying to take him out but he’s gonna catch hell for it anyway. Hope he recovers quick.

OK Mr. Commissioner, you convinced Harrison not to hit high. Happy now?

That’s a shame for the Broncos. As much hate as Harrison gets on here, that was not an illegal or dirty hit.
