Watching Julian Edelman talk about how easy it was to play against a Mike Tomlin defense really makes my skin crawl. I’m getting angry all over again just re-posting this.
Besides keeping his head up (which he absolutely should do, to protect himself), how would you propose he tackle a TE running full speed at him?
Shoulder is directly in thigh board.
Football is a violent game.
Not every hit is malicious.
(Also, don’t watch film of a cut block)
