Mangold was out of line.
Per NFL rules you cannot hit below the waist on a change of possession. For him to say that he could never play defense because hes a poor at tackling is laughable. Smith threw 3 INTS in that game and Sanchez has been a leader in coughing the football up. Mangold has had plenty of practice.
Isn't the hit below the waist rule only for blocks? I am pretty sure you can still tackle low on a change of possession. Just as you can tackle low on a punt or kick off, but not block low.
