BUt I have seen him make that type of tackle many times. He isn't the tallest guy, maybe he accelerates low and and has gotten used to reaching up cause you really can't grab jersey from behind, they are all so tight these days.

Why doesn't he try and go for the legs? Pro Football players at WR and RB get out of that type of tackle half of the time.

If you are reading numbers - behind the ball carrier - you need to be sure cause you only have one chance.
you might be right. You are a more reasonable man than i am. The thing is i think it is clear this is the way he knows how to tackle from behind, it is his style. I doubt he used to do it just to injure players but only to tackle them the best way he knows how. Now that it is a rule he might not be able to change up his style but the thing is i heard an interview with him and he said he didn't care about the rule and he would tackle basically whatever way he wants to. Maybe this is the best way he knows how to tackle and doesn't know anyother way, that is what i mean by just because he doesn't know how to tackle it doesn't give him the right to injure players-but i guess that is a prettier picture than him intentionally doing it-
