Tackling is not always about size either. That's why John Lynch, Roy Williams and Brian Dawkins are perhaps the hardest hitters in the league. The thump of a tackle is predicated upon the velocity of the defender vs the velocity of the ball carrier. That's why a guy like Bdawk can tear a HB's head off WITHOUT help when he's coming free on a blitz in real life. By the time he crosses the line he's at full speed. The RB is just getting the ball. BDAWK is going to kill him EVERY time. In fact Stephen Davis knows this all too well as he got his neck snapped back on a hit by Dawkins. What developers need to take a look at is velocity of defender vs velocity of offensive player + the situation. Weight and all that stuff is secondary.

momentum = velocity * mass


So the size or mass and the speed matter.
