[QUOTE="GTpdm, post: 75842, member: 1451"] Angle has nothing to do with the magnitude of the force that's involved. What it affects is torque--the more you "lean in" to contact with another player, the less tendency there is for the contact to rotate your body. That's actually one of the things that impressed me in the video; the fact that Messick did not appreciably bow backwards during the contact says to me that he has some serious lower body strength, to be able to handle the lateral strain that resulted from a ground force at his feet and an opposing collision force at his shoulder. [Sorry Bennett; football [U]is[/U] physics, to an extent...] [/QUOTE]
