I'm into results. If we see other team on ground quickly all is fine. If not, then Diaz has to go and go quickly. Personally, I want defense to deliver pain. That pain has huge benefits in 4th quarter.
There is a lot more slamming, or so it looks like, with the hawk tackle technique. I'm sure (if it works) the new technique will pay-off in the 4th quarter too.
Also, yeah safer, true. As a spectator who has no chance of suffering a concussion while watching the game, I LOVE that sound of someone just getting WRECKED (but not injured). I hope we still get some of that.
I know football is dangerous but the strangest thing is that I played football, baseball, basketball and tennis. The only one I never got hurt in was football. Loss teeth in basketball, spiked and fractured breastplate in baseball, wrecked both knees and an ankle playing tennis for exercise -- maybe a couple bruises in football. Of course I played Dline long ago when the rules favored it more, so I was more likely to have caused injuries.
I hate seeing players hurt; well maybe not so much if they are gators, noles, irish or bucknuts, but in general. However, I love old Canes football and hope these news guys bring us something that reminds us of those days. I just can't take anymore of what we have been seeing.
