I don’t even understand why a defensive player allows a stiff arm to happen when you can just go low and wrap up the legs. I was a fullback so never been stiff armed, never been dunked on either but did get badly “packed” I don’t remember the word we use to use back in the day, trying to get a layup and got denied We still won so frick it

I mean it's not quite that simple. That's a very good way to get a mouth full of grass. You almost have to tackle the arm if a guy has a really good one.

It's all or nothing if you do that. If you miss then he's gone (depending on where other defenders are).

Because you’d basically have to dive at the guys lower body outside of arm reach. Your more likely to completely miss and end up looking like a chicken and a fool.
