Name two players, other then T Owens who was injured by a “horse collar” tackle?
Cant be done. The “horse collar” tackle rule is silly. If Im chasing a RB whos running down field for a TD and the back is all I can get, then Ill tackle anyway I can. stupid, stupid rule.

attention Bills fans please stop crying – both clean hits and guys go on the IR from your team from playing rock scissors paper

i swear his hit on fred jackson was intentional. Nobody else in the league goes down low on every hit like he does. Its like hes looking to cause harm. i’d hate to play against this guy

Sean Taylor wannabe minus the speed, agility and talent. His career might have been different had he played next to Taylor for 10 years.

Everytime I read or hear about this guy, I just think of Brandon Jacobs plowing him over and I smile ear to ear.

Ahh …so now people are starting to see the real LaRoid that Redskins fans have been complaining about for years. The guy isn’t good at all at this point in his career. He’s a walking penalty flag, blows coverages and takes poor angles on tackles. Other teams know this and constantly attack him on 3rd downs which are converted at a pretty good percentage.

Landry got exposed last week and his penalties compounded the Jets problems.

Someone should tell this guy penalties in fact hurt your team and could very well cost you the game .. imagine that

Did he flex for the camera after tackling a guy on a 20 yard gain and first down?

Try telling David Nelson and Freddy Jackson that he’s a clean hitter. Landry injured both their knees in one game!!

No one is asking you to slow down, eight ball.
Play by the rules or hopefully someone another team will take you out, jerk

I never get why players that get fined have to go into bravado-mode with publicly asserted comments like: “That all comes with my style of play … I won’t slow down … All the penalties, all the fines, I’m not really worried about…”

The message that sends to the Commish, who is empowered to levy fines, suspensions, etc. – is one of defiance and insubordination of sorts. By virtue thereof, it a message that virtually begs for a STEEP escalation of penalties on the next go-round.

If the player doesn’t wish to modify his behavior and fines of this magnitude have no effect —> the Commish will escalate the penalties to a much more severe level, up to and including suspension.

My point is, by voicing how little you give a damn about a fine of $15K+ — is likely hurting your team, your fans, your ownership group and YOU.

A better approach might be to keep one’s mouth shut and keep moving. And if one does feel the need to say something, a more contrite message of sorts would seem to be less harmful than a defiant tone.

He’ll slow down the next time he’s hurt….. some jets just don’t get it.

He is a dirtbag. 90% of his tackles are out of bounds. I dont think a flag was thrown on the horse collar. I know he was flagged for his third late hit. Dont recall a horse collar. Could be wrong though.

Looks like Tarzan plays like Jane. Coverage is non existent and acts like a child when he makes a tackle 15 yards down field.

Not a good football player.

If your horse collaring doesn’t that mean you to slow to make a good tackle?

If he wasn’t always injured, maybe he wouldn’t be behind receivers so much.

By: logicalthinkersays

Yeah…he only slows down when, you know, it’s time to cover someone. Out of the league in two years.
