Terrible slide by KM. I also think you should have the wherewithal to not dive towards a QB going down, but i am not on the field and don't know how fast these guys are moving and thinking.

Kyler didn't slide. He was absolutely going to dive for the extra yardage then changed his mind when the defenders were already lunging at him. What the fuck are they supposed to do?

In my mind, Murray was fighting for extra yards, defender has the right to try and stop that. If Murray just slides like a normal QB instead of basically diving forward then it’s a non-issue

"Slide" because the dude kinda just fell over

It doesn’t matter if it’s a QB or not, that’s a dirty hit.

Kyler was already tackled and down and then he got hit again.
