yeah, you are definitely not the only one. I personally hate hate hate the way he tackles. I think it’s against the rules for a reason. As much as I hate to see him lower his head/shoulder to hit someone, I hated watching him attempt to use his arms and hands to do useful things even more. Watching him attempt to wrap guys up was sad, you could actually see him thinking to himself, “crap… I forgot to use my arms again” (as he is lowering his head) “I better stick my arms out to make it look like I’m not breaking the rules.”
Then there is the whole, he could literally ruin someone’s life tackling that way thing. That is the worst part of it IMO. Football is almost unwatchable sometimes with the amount of injuries that happen in games. I still vividly remember that Pharaoh guy getting his leg broken in half against us… and the safety from BYU a few years back whos leg snapped for no apparent reason when he was reacting to a Ute offensive player… and those injuries weren’t really even the result of big hits, nobody even touched the BYU guy. Watching dudes get knocked unconscious from head to head blows makes me sick to my stomach. Hitting like that is inexcusable in my opinion. Being the big tough guy, or watching that guy do stuff, just isn’t appealing to me, not even a little bit.
He has a TON of potential at safety, but he isn’t very good at it right now. He doesn’t know how to be a safety yet, not to his full potential anyways. He sucked in coverage, and he never learned how to tackle as a linebacker because it was just his job to knock the crap out of the QB when he wasn’t looking prior to coming to Utah.
