[QUOTE="forensicbuzz, post: 75733, member: 198"] Whether the DB saw him or not is really irrelevant. This isn't even close to targeting. The guys is essentially running directly towards AM. The AB is running up the line directly behind AM and for the DB to make the tackle, he'd have to have run straight through AM. This wasn't close to a crack-back block or targeting. You tell me that if a guy is running directly at you full steam, you wouldn't lower your shoulder and brace yourself for impact. Personally, I think crack-back blocks are dangerous and should not be allowed. There are ways to block a guy tracking the runner without laying him out, blind-sided. My point is that this was a full-head-on collision and the DB should have seen AM. If he didn't, that's his fault. [/QUOTE]
