[QUOTE="FrankRizzo, post: 529329, member: 2232"] I think the picture lies then...... see above. Gronk is 6'7".... he's not Darren Sproles. TJ Ward went way too low. Look at that picture. And natural grass doesn't prevent ACL injuries. Ask Robert Brooks, Al Harris, Aaron Kampman. All 3 of those guys tore their ACLs on non-contact injuries. Better traction does sometimes lead to the foot sticking instead of slipping. Yeah this is football and it's violent. But it is irresponsible, lazy, and ignorant to not try and eliminate as many serious injuries as possible. If not, then we would be allowed to spear, to facemask, to clothesline, to horse-collar, to drill guys in the head. You know what, most of ^ those methods USED TO be LEGAL. Now they are not. Why are they not? Injuries. Hits like these have caused more ACL injuries this year then last year and the year before. Probably about 20% of the torn ACLs are from cheap hits. And here's how you know they are dirty: Sure, they are within the (current) rules. But 10 years ago Roy Williams od Dallas used to tackle everyone by the horse-collar. Then he got flagged after guys got injured, including Terrell Owens breaking his foot on a horse collar from Williams. If you had 22 sons, and you taught them the game, 11 of them playing offense, 11 defense. These are your kids you love. You would teach them to TACKLE, not dive into knees like this. Respect the game, respect the knees. [/QUOTE]
