Low blow


If this is a low blow then how the frick are you supposed to tackle anybody? You can't go high and if you go low you are considered a dirty player. The same people bitching about cheap shots are going to be bitching when the game of football looks like this one day.

Exactly! This is the byproduct of the concussion litigation facing football. If the defender goes "high" he risks a penalty for targeting or hitting a defenseless receiver. If he goes "low", he's dirty for risking serious injury to the receiver's legs. Essentially, the NFL is asking defenders to make split second decisions at great speed ensuring that they only strike an offensive player in about a 1.5 foot radius.
