[over the mountain]

im surprised more players do not get their hands stepped on after they are tackled. every time i see a player do one of those moves where they jump over the pile or a down player, i just watch and wait to see if they ever come down, spikes first on a guys hand.

they never do. not once. the play probably happens 15 times a game, thats roughly 120 opportunities per NFL week. in the 20 or so years of watching the NFL, out of literally thousands of chances, i have never once see a guy get his hand stepped on by a cleat.
