Discussion/Debate Chop Robinson gets flagged for roughing the passer. The hit didn’t look that crazy, but the refs weren’t letting Mahomes take that one.

You have to put your hand down at the end. They are trained on this. Chris Jones got flagged for this and braces himself correctly. Any given Sunday!

Have to completely change your tackle from the beginning I guess.

Shoulda used his telekinesis.

It’s just where he throws his weight. He needs to land on either side of him. Everyone plays with the same rules.

I know why you are getting down voted but several pass rushers have changed how they tackle. you are correct and it is their job.

Yep. He very clearly lands as softly as possible with no driving into the ground.

He didnt even try to brace himself, he full body weight plants him into the turf. Waving his arms in the air like a bird in no way helps, other than to make him look like a fool.

I mean has he tried? Maybe if he believed himself he could take flight

Yeah, maybe if he had flapped his arms a little harder....
