is there a weight differential in rugby like in football? some of these rbs have like fifty pounds on dbs. it hurts less to go really low on guys like that, which is part of the reason i assume they do it.Elephanthead posted:Why don't the offensive guys slide before contact? this is really the only surefire safe way to play the game.

don't go too low, you might hurt somebody don't go too high, you might hurt somebody great, now everyone is safe  just hit him in the belt buckle

the picture is meant to illustrate a common habit for ballcarriers, there's a bunch of them every game. it's not like the gronk situation, true, but gronk could certainly do some damage to a 160-180 pound DB running in the open field at full speed. aiming for the center of mass would only make it worse. it's already ludicrous enough that an offensive player lowering his helmet into a defender is a 15 yard personal foul on the defender in the name of safety. (except for a small portion of the field technically but it's never been enforced.)

idk if you're going deep you're gonna need speed and if the offense has speed the defense is going to need speed. unless maybe we can allow contact after 5 yards.

safety still has to be pretty fast to cover half the field after he identifies the target reciever, the gronk hit was from a safety after all. i do agree something needs to change and more man on man deep coverage would be more interesting SlipUp fucked around with this message at 07:24 on Dec 3, 2015 |
