I thought the argument was over the voracity of each tackle and why shazier wasn't penelized? any tackle at full speed has potential for injury. obviously leading with your head down is not bright no matter who u are, that being said you can be seriously injured by having your head up too. I've had my share of stingers and they aren't a lot of fun. but being an ankle biter lessened my potential for a spinal injury. the pictures you posted don't show the full story. watch both at full speed athat's what the refs see. they don't get to take a picture and look at the tacklers form. at any rate shazier does appear to lead with his crown, which is im not denying is dangerous for him as a tackler BUT look at geo Bernard. two steps after making the catch head up field and he is braced for impact. the worst he will get is a broken jaw or maybe bite his tongue. maybe concussed? when I played they called it getting your bell rung. now look at Antonio brown. he has his head down and is just in the precess of making the catch, he doesn't know the impact is about to happen and cant brace himself for impact. burfict is leading with HIS helmet INTO the crown of browns helmet which by looking at your picture looks like brown is the one who could be seriously injured in this play. AND He was concussed. look at the video, he was clearly knocked unconscious as he fell to the ground. so that is why they put more emphasis on defenseless players.</blockquote>
