I'm with you.
I like seeing a good, hard hit on a player, I DON'T like seeing a little extra pressure put on a player when he's down, like for a tackle to use a guy's knee for leverage to get up off the ground, the leg twisting, etc.
You remember the grabbing of the throat that Ohio State guy did to the Wisconsin QB ? I also remember Oklahoma's Rocky Calmus twisting the crap out of Eric Crouch's leg when he was down and in a pile of players about 3 years ago, blatant as hell, nothing done. That kind of stuff we can all do without, College or Pros.
I know what you mean about Tatum. Gosh, anymore, if you also judge players by what they do OFF the field as well, then there is only about 20% of the players to judge as great, and 80% have multiple arrests or suspensions. |
