One of the most brutal hits you’ll ever see.

There were two penalties on this play, facemask and targeting. I agree with facemask but not targeting. The second guy performed a perfect tackle. Hit him in the chest, wrap your arms and drive your legs. It’s the way I was taught.

... And I was taught that a perfect tackle is contact on the ball
with yer leg --- and if the players falls - it's tough beans!

But, to each his own, I reckon.

It looks worse than it is due to the helmet flying off.

As far as the tackle I wouldn't call it perfect. To me you hit with your shoulder, not facemask.

We were taught to shoot for the chest, wrap your arms and drive your legs. But lots have changed since the 70’s and early & 80’s. The second guy didn’t go helmet to helmet. He was in the chest area and thumped him. Hard.
