RC, you know I love you like a brother so I mean this with all due respect… You are wrong on this one fam. The reason there is outrage about that hit on Chubb isn’t about the game or it’s fans getting soft. The problem is Minkah who is a veteran DB torpedoed at Chubbs leg while he was already being taken down by a defender.
If your response is:
“He didn’t know Chubb was already being tackled. ”
• Well, pick your head up!
“He didn’t want to go high.”
•Well, aim for the multiple areas above the knee & below the head like hip, ribs or shoulder.
“Chubb is a power back so it takes multiple guys to bring him down.”
• Fine, but let’s apply the same chop block rules like we do in the trenches.
For me it’s 1 of 2 things… Malicious or a weak attempt at tackling someone. I don’t know Minkah well enough to call him dirty so I won’t.
I’ll leave all defensive players with this… Would you hit your own teammate like that in a live scrimmage? That’s a rhetorical question because the answer should be NO, so keep that in mind the next time you think about aiming at someone’s knees on during a game.

I am aware of the speculation surrounding my name connected to other vacant coaching positions and appreciate all of the support, but right now my heart is at Ohio State and I do not have any plans to go anywhere else.
