re: What are your thoughts on the LaMichael Fanning tackle? (Video)

It's a legal tackle (i.e., there is no specific rule disallowing this kind of tackle). Actually surprised the ref threw a flag for unnecessary roughness, but that should definitely be the extent of it. It was pretty intense, but that's football. I have seen this kind of tackle multiple times before with no flag and no conversation.

I think Fanning was just overestimating the abilities of this Missouri running back. Probably didn't expect to be able to throw him around like a rag doll so easily.

With Alabama there isn't much else to talk about right now as they continue to systematically beat down the next team on the schedule, so I can understand why this is getting more attention than it probably deserves.
