GAME #19 Penn St. @ #12 Wisconsin | Fox 11AM

His head was up. His head was literally at regular juman height. At the other guys head level. Which is the dangerous thing.
Literally nothing he can do to avoid the penalty if the runner decides to put his head at the same level.
Stay up like he did: penalty.
form tackle and runner crouches: penalty
He hit with his crown. Head is down. You can keep your face up. A form tackle is not with your crown of your head.
 
100% agree with that. Most of the time it’s unintentional and just bad form. They don’t eject players for roughing the passer or chop blocks. Why this is any different is dumb

It's had major ramifications in games gone by. Like when Wade got ejected in a fucking playoff game. Like come on man.
 
Well that was ugly
 
Mertz needs to stop reading his press clippings and get his ass to work

The crown? Lmao. The eyebrow of his helmet is the crown? Dude. Stop writing. You’re just an idiot.
the crown is what happens on form tackles … which is the thing you said he should do. “Wrap up”
Stop writing.
literally nothing a tackler can do to avoid penalty if the runner decides to move his head where the defenders head is.
nothing.

nothing.
Above the face is the crown yes. Are you fucking serious right now? Nothing else he could do? Come on. Get real. I’m not saying it’s easy. Its a fast game and sometimes it’s hard to be perfect in your tackles. Which is why it’s completely dumb that it’s an ejection. But gtfo saying that there’s only one way to tackle a guy. Apparently with the top of your head.

Show a form tackle where the head doesn’t go first? Use the other thread. Pages of examples: all tackles lead with the head. This PSU tackler didn’t even lower his head and expose the actual TOP, as you say.
In fact, he did his best to go shoulder first, and still the head hit.
 
Dan fuq? This game is awesome. If you gotta have each team scoring 30-40 pts a game, go watch only the Big12.

It got a lot better in the second half. First half was dull.
 
wow big penalty

The major issue is that DBs shoulder bump tackle. Wrap your arms at the ribs or chest.
 
Penn State just let them walk into their territory
 
Really bad holding there by Wisconsin.
 
Wow Mertz misses open receiver for TD
