I have. And in rugby no less. Head/body position + technique trump size every day of the week. .


I think Atwater would disagree with both of you. It just takes pure awesome to tackle.

Surprisingly, Atwater used pretty damn good technique, the only thing he didn't do was wrap the tackle


And yeah, I loved watching him when I was growing up. Him and Ronnie Lott were what made me become a Safety in my HS playing days

Hmm.. thanks to the TNF football result I stand a chance at slipping past Kronk and his team of death, problem being I need to decide who to start at RB (Jackson, Peterson, Bush or Ellington)
Spoiler:
The result also means the first barrier of my accumulator fell
San Diego @ 15/4
Bengals @ 20/29
Ravens @ 23/10
Patriots @ 5/6
Redskins @ 9/4

Peterson is "questionable".

Jackson vs. the woefully horrible Redskins seems like a good matchup, in my opinion.

Jacksonville, which is a better match up than the Lions and Ravens.
Plus, Bush has been kept out of the last 3 games for various reasons. They did allow him to practice on Friday.

Of all the races of the universe the Squats have the longest memories and the shortest tempers. They are uncouth, unpredictably violent, and frequently drunk. Overall, I'm glad they're on our side!

Damn what a heartbreaker the pats vs dolphins was. That's probably our only chance at the #1 and now were more likely to have the 3 if Cincinnati doesn't lose. Without a bye/some home field this pats teams is gonna have a super hard road ahead.

It's sadly looking to be the case with the Saints now that the regular season is winding down. I hope they have their crap back together for the Panthers game coming up.

Also it's crazy that with 2 weeks left in the regular season only 1 NFC team has clinched a playoff spot....

On an Express Elevator to Hell!!

Ah.. so Peterson gets hurt by his heel, the only place where he has a weakness! Was amazed the Vikings won without him actually, although no doubt it was helped by there being no Ponder and the Eagles seemed a bit lacklustre.

But.. does no-one want to win the NFC East this year? That Cowboys-Packers game was the biggest case of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory that I have ever seen. I can't understand why they backed off of Flynn, the guy seems eminently sackable, but it allowed him to find his rhythm and get into the game. I'm guessing there were a lot of questions asked in Dallas about what happened in that game, the play calling seemed really poor.

What about the game this weekend between Saints and Panthers? What the hell happened with the Saints last weekend, was it just them being bad on the road?

Hey I would rather the Eagles have a bad game like last week than have one vs Dallas.... or Chicago. They seem to have the ability to bounce back after such a loss.

I think Dallas loses the battle of the imploding teams. Washington is looking to shop Cousins, so maybe they pull out the stops.
