Wrap or grab... No need to go club arming people. Had brooks let his arm hit Drews chest at the speed he was running then wrap or hang on he would have still gone down and there would have been no penalty. We are not zombies... no need to start beating people with arms. |

In this case, it happened to be above the shoulders but any other situation dlineman/linebackers are being taught to "swat" or "swing" at the qb's chest and arms to try to cause a sack fumble. Once again, I'm not saying the brooks hit was legal but swinging at a player to try to dislodge the ball is not against the rules. You just have to be aware of the consequences if you miss and hit too high.
