And the full speed linebacker should have let up on that play just as they are required by league rules to let up on punters after a kick, or defenseless receivers if they don’t catch the pass, or on quarterbacks that are in the pocket. The entire stance you’re basing your argument on is provably false by countless plays involving defenseless players in which defenders let up or change directions while going “full speed”. I’m sorry, there’s just no such thing in real life as “maximum overdrive”, these guys can let up on a hit if they want - Barr didn’t want to.If you don’t like today’s NFL, there is plenty of film on games in the 90s and earlier where targeting players was encouraged.</blockquote>
