I was in the stadium so I still haven't seen the replay, but from reading about the play he tried this but hit him in the neck. We teach the technique, but you are supposed to hit his chest plate, not his neck.



Here's the replay if you're still interested:

I watched it several times and it looked like he hit him in the shoulder, the injury occurred because Dre's head bounced off the turf...from what I could tell

TM7_Era Tyrann Mathieu S/0 to Dre didn't mean to do what I did but it's a technique that we practice, you were just tall as hell and fast as you kno what! Goodluck


While the technique he is talking about is a legit technique there are two HUGE flaws in his claim. The technique can ONLY be pulled off when you are still close enough to the other player for the strike to reach the center of the cheast plate. TM7 was already beaten too badly to execute the technique. At that point the swinging of a clenched fist becomes the same thing as striking the other player (just as hitting with a clenched fist in a fight)

The second issue, his claim that DK21 was tall, causing him to miss his mark. Tall means he would more likely have hit low rather than high. So again, he was beat and he did something he should not have done to try to limit the damage of his mistake.

I do not think he was "trying" to be dirty any more than the Arky player was trying to be dirty when his execution of an illegal hit was off by timing rather than by location of the hit. TM7 striking DK21 with the wrong timing and in the wrong location does make it a dirty hit and the result of the dirty hit was an injury.

Look, LSU beat Bama fair and square. LSU is the best team. But if you can't concede that it was a dirty play you're full of shite.

I was at the game and missed the hit. I just saw the replay for the first time, and it's obvious he hit him exactly where he meant to hit him.

They had been going at it all night and 7 just got a little frustrated.

Good luck to LSU the rest of the way


ETA - T Ray this wasn't aimed at you, but the thread in general.

he apologized because the guy he was covering got hurt. if he wanted to hurt him he wouldn't give a frick and wouldn't apologize. he knows he screwed up on whatever technique, but damn he didn't give him a concussion by hitting him in the shoulder.

<serious>I think what happened is that he caught Dre flat footed and slammed into him well above his center of gravity and just toppled him over.</serious>

Oh, wait. This is a flame thread now? I'll just watch from over here.

no its totally justifiable because TM7 was just giving 110% and if youre doing that then there are no cheap shots in football. pussification of football continues

Our player's questionable foul is clean and your player's questionable foul is a POS thug move.

I have no idea why that happened.

TM7 has a rough 3 weeks....

He should apologize with no "Buts" or excuses.

Having said that, I can't understand why Dre was hurt so bad....It was just a strange play...It's not like The badger speared him with his helmet....It was a swipe from his harm from behind meant to hit the shoulder (I guess to keep Dre going down feild in the direction the return was going )

How much power can you swing at a guy when you are running full speed.
