    Wasn't king the last one with the ball when Kelvin Sheppard blew up that reverse? Maybe it was 11.

    No, only against the rules if he touches the QB. Welcome to the pussification of America.

    Great picture. It's worth a thousand words, you know.

    That might have done it.

    I cant make a judgement if it does or doesn't warrant a flag form the still photo. It looks brutal in the picture, but there's things a photo can't show. It could be that Alem was making a legitimate clean tackle below the shoulders and the other Tiger tackling low pushed King's head into the direct line of Alem's helmet when he didn't intend to head hunt or spear him; it kind of looks that way to me.

    In any case, I hate to see any player on any team get injured, but unfortunately it happens.

    Yeah, was it legal or not wasn't the purpose of my response. Mine was just to point out that the Qbs now have 2 hand touch rules, which is ridiculous. NFL is by far worse though.
