billsFORlife50 Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Best hit I have seen in a long time and looked perfectly clean to me. Can't stand that a player will be punished for this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpEzLr7wJeY&feature=youtube_gdata_player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have u ever been on a football field ? It's just another play........ anyone in Tate's position does the same. I don't think Tate's in any danger there at all.

billsFORlife50 Posted September 20, 2012 Author Share Posted September 20, 2012 This hit just brings back memories of an old NFL films with Steve Tasker and how he would always be trying to get "Wooooo!!" hit haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Tate's in any danger there at all. I have and it's called spearing. It's dangerous. That clip could be shown to every HS kid in America as "what to never do."

marauderswr80 Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Led with his head.... Should have led with shoulder.... I dont think it was his intent to hit like that. Remember these guys work more on route running and catching balls then learning how to hit correctly in open field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BetterNextYearRight? Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 (edited) It was really clean, anyone who played football knows you gotta watch out for blockers, you never lock in just the ballcarrier that's how you get taken out. The block was textbook, it wasnt a spear you are taught from day one of football that the best way to block is to get low and use your hips and full body and jack up thereby knocking down a defender who is too high. A spear is LEADING with your hea,d you can see him roll his hips and jack up. Looks slightly the same but very different Sean Lee was running straight up, that's another no no. That is just not being football aware we hear it alot but it is for a reason. KEEP YOUR HEAD ON A SWIVEL. A football play to block for a QB. Plus you have to square up with somebody to properly throw a block. Hitting with your shoulder is a CHIP, and defenders are taught to slide right off of those Edited September 20, 2012 by ChandlerBing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Tate's in any danger there at all. You can't launch into another player and use your head as a weapon. End of story. You might think of these guys as otherwise useless meatsacks put on this earth for no other reason than to entertain you with their eminent brain trauma, but the NFL has decided that your position is ugly and meritless, and have thankfully chosen a rule set that treats their players like human beings, and recognises the fragility of the human brain. If you don't like it, turn off your TV. Edited September 20, 2012 by TakeYouToTasker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he meant to do anything bad, and nothing bad happened, but what you see in that clip is a spear. Plain and simple. He put everything into it yes...but that doesn't change the fact the top of his helmet is what all the energy came out of. Anyone who watches can see that...it was not a good hit and it's the kind of hit football at all levels needs to get rid of.

BetterNextYearRight? Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 how was it a launch? watch his feet leave the ground after initial contact, the same time of the defenders feet. That's happens alot because of the force of impact, the head was not lead with. was it directly in front of the body? no, maybe ever so slightly.

From day one you are taught to hit with your eyes up, not with the crown of your head as Tate did, and to get your head across the body hitting with the front of the shoulder pads, not to spear a player on the chin with your helmet.
