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)
This is unbelievable. Dobbs on this play was playing running back. The TE was under center, snapped the ball and tossed it back to Dobbs who isn’t defenseless. On a 3rd and 1, where you’re fighting for every yard, how are we supposed to stop a runner from falling forward?
