However, what I remember from the game was that Manning subsequently arched his back and drove his shoulder and weight into Quinn's body. Five years ago that was acceptable in the NFL. Now they throw flags. Had Manning continued his picture-perfect hit as shown above by letting go and merely knocking Quinn down, the penalty could have been averted. The problem is that Manning left his feet to finish the tackle, but he didn't need to do that. That's my opinion.Textbook hit? Yes.Textbook quaterback tackle? No.Counter arguments...</blockquote>
