I hate the Steelers and I hate them even more for what I just saw.
Bo Scafe just caught a little swing pass and Harrison went straight for his knee.
BTW, guess who players for the Steelers now?
I would be irate at my players if they didn’t attempt to tackle legs.
That’s how you stop a runner by yourself.
The ball-carrier knows that you are coming.
Only a staionary QB is generally defensless with the football.
I find nothing dirty about tackling legs, only blocking them.

There is a difference when you put your helmet into there knee and wrapping up around the legs.

Had he driven and gotten the legs immediately, he probably keeps Miller short of the first down, there.
If you are the ball-carrier in the open field, then beware of defenders.
Probably just not gonna agree on this one.
Guess to me it all depends on which way you go for the legs, if you are heading right at the player … might be construed as dirty if your going at them from behind or the side and you wrap and not drive through … that is the best way to tackle. The key is to not hit the leg where you know it isnt going to be able to bend the right direction or get out of the way.
