can you inflict damage on a QB ?
Can't touch anything under the waist.
Have to hug him to the ground, like you would protect a woman.
Hug him after he throws the ball, and you roughed the passer.
Sorry that you were already in-train, doesn't matter.
So next time you hear everyone AMAZED Tom Brady can play QB over 40,
even to 45 ("OH MY GAWD, HE"S THE BEST EVARR) - realize that none of
the other greats got any of the protection he's enjoyed, they got manhandled,
beat up, thrown down, knee-whacked, and piled on like dogs.
