Re: Roy Williams = dirty tackler
Whether you drag a guy down right away or not shouldn't matter IMO. If you're grabbing a guy from behind by the collar and using your weight to pull him down in the opposite direction that he's going, it should be a penalty. There's an increased risk of injury being brought down like that.
Yes it's football and it's supposed to be a rough sport, but there's also limits. That's why head slaps were outlawed and that's why facemasks draw a penalty. It's because of the increased risk of injury associated with those types of things.
