So yeah, they have unwritten rules, but those weren't it. We can pull up the film from the players of your time. Those head hunting hits were applauded. They're on highlight reels. How do you feel about Deacon Jones and the way he played, because if I'm not mistaken isn't he in the HOF?

The head and feet can fake you out, the numbers never lie. If the numbers move left HE is moving left, always put your face mask in the numbers, wrap, drive, and try to strip. It's called fundamental football. Hollywood players like yourself missed a lot of tackles going for the head.... Caused a lot of points in open field situations. Such a paradox.... The Saints couldn't tackle but we condone aiming for the head. It's like a one handed pop fly catch... Why, what is the point? You have another hand Hollywood, use it and don't risk dropping the ball. Why risk missing the tackles, go for the numbers. I don't know or care who you were coached by buy bad form is bad form and it leads to bad injuries. |
