DawgTracker Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 IMHO we have lost some games because of the inability to tackle Ben R. To his credit Ben is a big guy who doesn't go down easy, he isn't playing touch football. The question is what will the league consider a penalty when tackling him and what will be considered legal. I think it is a mistake to try and tackle him high, especially from behind, I think you need to aim for his waistline instead of his shoulders. You also cannot hit him and expect him to drop, you need to keep pushing until he is on the ground. But, will the refs allow us to do this? Any thoughts?

DawgTracker Posted May 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 I didn't use the word 'gay' when I posted this, evidently it must be an automatic thing the board does when someone types in Big Gay Ben It does happen when you type in Ben Big in reverse, definitely funny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tobalaz Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 I blame in part the rule change where is a qb is wrapped up outside the pocket the ref can whistle a play dead to fault. It's a sport for sissies and qbs should be wearing flags if Ben can break a big one because the guy tackling him unwraps and puts his hands in the air after thinking he heard a whistle. It's total bullshit and ruining the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HowieDawg Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 I enjoyed that, well done childish mods. Getting back to the topic. You're right, the big lumbering gay fella is pretty good at staying on his feet and sadly making a good pass at the end of the tap dance with the defense. I think our chances this year come from a much improved inside pass rush and strong side pressure to assist. Hit early, hit middle, hit hard.

ndneighbor Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Big Ben does have a hell of a talent for keeping a play going. Lotsa sacks though. At least 40 three years in a row. Maybe the browns can add to the sack total with the new faces that have been added on defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any thoughts? he still fights you off when you try to tackle him at the waist and can "hip-out and sprawl". it's gotta be a huge hit or at the ankle. twist that foot--not only will it throw his balance off when he gets rid of the ball going down but it might hurt his mobility for the rest of the game and beyond. ankle ankle ankle ankle ankle.....i just like saying it.

Maybe the browns can add to the sack total with the new faces that have been added on defense. I did find this on Foxsports regarding Pittsburgh: http://msn.foxsports.com/fantasy/football/story/9460410 Offensive line remains a big need for this team. Roethlisberger has been sacked 46 or more times in each of his last three seasons, and eventually, he's going to suffer a serious injury blow because of it. They paid him a truckload of money, so now it's time to start worrying about his protection. Glad I checked. Maybe Big Ben deserves a bit more credit than even the Steelers fans have given him. It could be argued that he's been carrying his o-line the last three seasons and they still won a SuperBowl. IIRC Detroit gave up 52 sacks last season. EDIT: Seriously, if the dude would just get rid of the ball like his coaches have probably told him many times, he'd probably cut the sack totals in half. But he loves to force the issue.

ITHIKA Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 And to answer the question, I don't think Willie Mcginest had a problem tackling Big Gay Ben as this video shows evident! You just follow his guideline except with a little more enthusiasm. I think the whole defense should be shown this video and told that "this is the way we tackle Big Gay Ben".
