I miss the old days when that Packer would have had his teeth rattling for a week by not looking around him for a possible blocker. The old “head on a swivel” warning.

The league is so soft.

He didn’t really do anything but just become a wall that they other dude bounced off of.

He really is extraordinarily good. I remember people thought it was overdrafting to take a guard that high.

I think a pancake block is when the blocker runs over the man being blocked while the person being blocked falls on his back. Number 55 is a laughingstock for going down backwards so easy. Writer of report never played football.
The league now is just about “influence” blocking...i.e. getting in the way of the tackler.
Most tackles from defensive backs don’t “wrap up” the target..they just glance off the runner...thats why so many plays keep going. Crummy tackling. 3rd string stuff....
BTW...why do college players no longer wear knee or significant thigh or hip pads...why do their pant legs stop above the knee? They look like they are wearing cut-off “tights”. Some one called the game “basketball on grass”..Their shoulder pads are reminiscent of the “shoulder pad” look in womens blouses in the late 80’s.
