Skins fan 44, I am with you on the whole "horse collar" thing. The rules committee or where ever this thing is discussed , really need to better define what a horse collar IS and IS NOT. I think I saw a lot of it last year and it was never called. It seems like a new way to tackle that I dont' ever remember seeing that much in the past. It seems like every defender who gets beat these days goes for the back of the shoulder pads on a tackle from behind. I think the Skins were really lucky a lot last year that Portis did not miss significant time due to injury from several horse collars that brought him down last year. It is an injury waiting to happen!
