He tackles like a complete coward and I hope a Raider WR jumps right over him when he does it and scores a touchdown.
He tackles logically. I wouldn't take Gronk around the waist at 200lbs. That's suicide. We have seen guys wrap Gronk around the legs and be dragged for five yards!!
I watched a lot of condensed games from this week and people go low all the time. Ward was as much a danger to himself...that's a neck breaker in every sense of the word the way he went in...and he does that quite a lot FYI. He's not a great form tackler..but there are plenty like it. Watch every game condensed and count the number of times someone chops a guys legs out from underneath him because of a size mismatch. Most games you need two hands.
You'd also need a couple to count the number of cut blocks that occur. They are equally as dangerous to a D Lineman as a low hit on a bigger player but it is legal and a widely taught technique.
It was dangerous to both him and Gronk but I don't think he is going out to injure. He's going out to get the man down and in as quick and efficient way as possible. For someone of his size going against a 270lb Gronk, logically you would aim fo the legs.
Coaches absolutely coach their players to take the legs out from under a player. It isn't with intent to injure. It's called playing smart. If you were a 200lb safety and had Gronk coming at you, you'd be stupid to go gny higher than the thigh and, with the speed this game is played at, you just get as low as you can as quickly as you can.
Plenty of Pats players go low. People are just to naive to see it.
I hope that, during the Donkeys next game, Ward is hurt so badly that his career is over immediately.
That's not even funny.
Wishing injury on someone is pathetic and classless. I don't know you, but that provides me with a pretty good summary of what kind of person you are.
