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.

I've since seen it played on the local news, and he didn't go through a blocker to get to the tackle, so it was a bogus call. The guy that jumped over him was actually BEHIND the ball carrier.
