Shafer hit vs Harper hit

I didn’t realize you played rugby as well, or that your daughter does too — that’s actually pretty cool that you share that.

You’re right, I never played past high school. I was a mediocre athlete who worked hard but was never a standout. Most of my takes come from observation and logic more than my limited playing experience.

That said, one thing I’ve noticed — especially with DBs — is that they’re often great in coverage but not always textbook tacklers. Their job is speed, leverage, and reaction, not form tackling like linebackers.

You’ve got 20+ years between football and rugby, so you’re clearly more of a subject-matter expert than I am. I’m happy to learn from that perspective — and yeah, sorry I was smart ass earlier.
I agree. I played rugby from age 18-51. Have played in 8 countries. My daughter was the captain at Dartmouth. Played in a Club national championship with CA team. Played 3 summer seasons with Ilana Maher. My Ranger son has played over 30 years. I got him and his high school buddies to play with my Great Falls team.
