See post number 177.

That's silly (I'm not calling you silly, just that as a definition). So a tackler is not allowed to ignore a blocker and try to tackle the ball carrier around the legs? I didn't know they were playing 2 hand touch.

I did not videotape the game.

A QB will usually go down with his back, helmet or shoulders to avoid the lower arm contact.

H went down like that, I believe, in front of the blocker to get through to the ball carrier.

You CAN'T DO THAT! Too many injuries come out of that kind of busting through a blocker.

Rules are to protect players from injuries. H would not have been injured, but the blocker certainly can be because he is NOT EXPECTING that.
