This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Some posters called that a pancake block. I'm curious how by notra_dahm
that negates the grab by the OL. The DL got leverage, and had his right arm and shoulder under the OL's right arm, who held up the DL's advance using only his arm (I assume his right hand has a fistful of jersey). The DL gets bent back, and was spun to the ground, with the OL on top of him.
Labelling that a "pancake" doesn't even work. The fact that the OL ended up on top of the guy doesn't make that a "pancake". A "pancake block" is when the blocker leaves the defender flat on his back. That didn't even happen - he just rolled over sideways as he spun out of the hold.
