Your guy made a tackle out of bounds on Amari Cooper. What about that was incorrect?
He started the tackle on the edge of in-bounds and continuation took it out of bounds.
Even Uncle Verne took a look at the replay and fell silent.

That's not the way it happened. If he had left his feet while Amari was still attempting to gain yards - then maybe. Amari was stepping out of bounds before your guy attempted to make a tackle - and then had a chance to "stop" the tackle, but instead drug Amari to the ground like 4 yards out of bounds.

He didn't even touch Cooper til he was out of bounds and then he tackled him after holding onto him for 5 yards.

I would not have thrown that flag. I don't think the player intended to tackle out of bounds, and to me this particularly penalty should be reserved for clear and intentional late hits.
That being said, I do agree with the referees that this was not a continuation of a tackle that started in bounds. After trying to tackle him, falling to the ground, and continuing on well outside the sideline, the Missouri player initiated another attempt to grab the Bama player and bring him down. That was not a continuation. It made the call legit, despite a grey area.

You think this helps your argument?
