If only we had a good defensive tackle that could take advantage of this.
5th overall pick. Hopefully he may have escaped a major injury.
Is it legal?Just my opinion, but there's nothing dirty about this at all.
It sucks that Thibodeaux may have gotten hurt, but the blocker was literally right in front of him and executed a common and legal cut block.
Thibodeaux with more awareness could have side stepped it or jumped over it and been unfettered into the backfield. If anything he made it worse on himself by turtling up inward and allowing his knee to be buckled.
i guess i dont know these exact rules off the top of my head, but that was a super dirty hit. It wasnt even a side hit, he basically him from the back.Is it legal?
I thought all cut blocks have to be initiated from the front of the players' legs. This looks to be the side.
On my phone and haven't looked at those rules since they were changed, so I might be wrong.
