That just seems like a perfect tackle to me that they teach in football. Hit the middle of the body, head off to the side. A guy that size and that speed just can't stop on a dime.

I wonder if teams will start teaching pass rushers to just go for the arm. Especially with quarterbacks getting so good at scrambling. Just make the aim turnovers instead of sacks where you might get 3 a game but also get 3 roughing the passer penalties to negate it.

And sooner or later a defender will break his collarbone, arm, wrist or something in putt8ng his arm out to take the force and roll away from the QB.
