re: My plea for a factual explanation of how TM7 hit on Dre was Dirty/Flagrant

quote:

---

While undoing his chin strap? Right after that, his right arm moves a little as he walks but that couldn't possibly indicate anything. Not chest, head, or anything. What are you seeing?

he and Miles both talked about it after the game. It's a technique they teach for when the gunner beats the blocker long... you give him a nice hit in the chest and it slows the gunner down and/or knocks him off balance. But Matthieu got beat a little too badly by Dre, and was too far behind when trying to utilize the technique... and that's why it looked so bad and why he ended up holding him and twisting him around.
