I'm all for real football, but with the way they have protected qb's over the last 6 years or so, how can that be deemed legal? At the very least it looks like he "launched" into foles. #92's feet almost come of the ground (lot of effort for a man his size).

He led with his shoulder, hit below the neck, and his left foot never left the ground.

difference is that he wasnt in the pocket. he was chasing down a guy that picked him off. so its fair game

after an int or fumble, the QB is no longer a QB but a defender that is attempting to tackle the ball carrier.

taking a defender out of the play ensures that he will not bring down your ball carrier.
