[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 459432, member: 265"] What I can't understand is why our D players often don't wrap up. Back in the Dark Ages when I played one of the things I used to look forward too in every game was to get pass the first line of blockers and suddenly find myself face to face with an RB or QB. I would draw a bead on their chest - looking at their eyes or shoulders was a no-no - slow down slightly and hit them full in the body. If I was lucky, I could then pick them up slightly, wrap my arms around them, leave my feet, and crush their chest under my weight. Again, if I was lucky, I'd get a slight moan from them when they hit the ground. I [I]loved[/I] that. I [I]lived[/I] for it. It's the dream of every D player to get a hit like that. And you don't get it by [I]not wrapping up[/I]. Too often players these days try to hit O players hard enough to knock them off their feet. I can see that, but getting that perfect hit is so much better. Ok, enough with the sadistic memories. Let's hope the guys start to do this more soon. [/QUOTE]
