So you're acknowledging it's part of the NFL? Right or wrong, I'm only saying it's there.
It's it's a brutal part of the NFL.
These guys are faster, stronger and you see these collisions more in the NFL.
And I promise rookies come in and it's eye opening

Dude, you are a dumbass. He was knocked out because a shithead hit him with the crown of his helmet into his head. This would have knocked his arse out in high school too.

This had nothing to do with it being the NFL. It had to do with being an illegal dirty hit, which is arround in all levels of football

If his helmet blew his knee out you wouldn't have heard anything.
It would have been "just part of the game".
As I said majority of tackles behind the box are made in this manner. And at times helmets collide

I don't think he was saying it was slow. He was just saying that he heard everyone saying how fast it is. You have it in your mind, then when you see the real thing, it doesn't live up to what people were saying.


I'd like to hear the original question.

Like you mentioned, he said it's slower than he thought, not that it's slow.

Was a good hit that Dupre didn't see coming. He also went to wrap up the ball carrier as he made contact. He aimed for his center mass
Great football

A) Leading with your head down is not taught at any level of football. In no way is it great football.

B) Hits like that aren't exclusive to the NFL.

I predict he'll get injured this season, and that (or his O-line) will be his excuse for underperforming.

Wait, are you saying poor O-line play isnt a valid reason for a running back not being successful?

He was. Just pointing out helmet-to-helmet hits aren't some NFL exclusive.

Nope. I'm saying that LF always gets a pass and always has people making excuses for him.
