These large, crazy fast athletes can't always significantly change their body alignment when running full speed to make a tackle.....especially when the offensive player/ballcarrier adjusts their body at the last second to brace for contact. Just watching "The Audibles" on ESPN and Herm Edwards, Keyshawn Johnson and Trent Dilfer said the same thing. Only Steve Young begged to differ.
And Harrison's reaction was emotional and "bitch-like" but I would refer to him as a "drama queen" rather than a "bitch." Why you ask? Admittedly, some of my own personal bias and the fact that he's a bad motherfucker. If HE is a bitch....then what does that make the guys he's laying out?
I copletely agree Killer. I think these hits are ridiculous to be put at the feet of defenders. It is not logical to ask them to alter their direction and what have you. The ONLY problem I have with the hit is the fact it wasnt flagged. I WOULD LOVE IT if we got that type of player on Cleveland/Indianapolis. As a Browns fan, TJ Ward could be that guy and for Indy we had Bobby Sanders but he doesnt count anymore lol.
Drama queen is probably the better word, but I call everyone who complains like Harrison is a bitch. It isnt a personal thing against him being from Pittsburgh, just that his reaction has been that of a little bitch. I would not say he is a bitch in terms of how tough he is. I think Willis is probably the only better LB in the league. But his reaction to these new punishments was definitely bitchy.
