The rule in this case is to protect the tackler. He was the one at risk for having a serious , life changing neck or spinal injury. They were teaching tacklers to keep their head up 40 years ago for that same reason.I know the rule. I’m saying the rule is BS. Learn what people mean before trying to be cute.
You always keep your head up and look at the ball carrier. You don’t hit him looking directly at the ground. That’s how organized football has always been taught.When a defender goes low to deliver a hit where do you think their head is gonna be? It's not like you can drop low and leave you're head somewhere else!
