That rule actually makes sense because of the leg twisting back. Guys were getting their knees/ ankles blown out. I have no issue with that rule.

Yeah, the horse collar rule has an obvious safety component built in and thus is a good one.

So does not hitting a QB in the knees but there seems to alot of complaning about that rule and Brady.There is still plenty of turning and twisting when tackeling and there weren't that many injuries from it.(yes some,not alot)I'd like to see a study and compare the horse collar to the new field turf and the knee and ankel injuries from that.

My only complain about the Brady rule, is that it happened to Carlson Palmer in a BIG WAY before it happened to Brady and nothing was done. Palmer was taken out in the playoffs by a Steeler d-lineman and I believe they lost that game.

Meanwhile, as soon as it happened to Brady, they basically implemented that rule the next offseason.

The horse collar rule seems to me like one that got it right. It's a bad tackling practice that can do severe damage to a runner's knees and legs. I refuse to thank JJ, but if he's responsible, it's something I wont use against him.

How so? The rule was due to one of JJ's players (S-Roy Williams) injuring several players via the horse collar. The biggest one of the bunch happened to Terrell Owens when he played with the Eagles. If anything, we can thank Andy Reid for that rule.

Why should we thank JJ?
