Central Arkansas tackling

Post by Armchair QB »

Re-watching the game and realizing we’re fortunate we don’t have more knee injuries coming out of that game. You can tell they’ve been coached to tackle at the knees.

and twisting legs after the tackle was apparent to me!

Look at the size difference between Mizzou and Central Arkansas players. Tackling at the knees is a sound tactical decision, not an attempt to injure.

Not saying they’re taught to injure. Just pointing out they attack the knees and we came away with 2 costly injuries and it could have been more. Pribula had a few awkward tackles that he fortunately let his legs go as he was tackled. Feet stay planted and he might have been carted off.
