No, it's not really.  You can't pick up a QB and body slam him into the ground.  That's pretty blatantly excessive.  Nothing Clay did is considered excessive.

No, there's a new rule this season, which is why he was flagged. They're getting Clay on the new "body weight on top of the quarterback" thing, and that's often just a normal tackle. You see the same sort of thing happen in other games, and it isn't flagged. The refs just don't know how to call it. It's a pretty goofy rule, as it stands now.

That's a fundamentally broken rule, because by definition of tackling you're going to land on the player you're tackling with your body weight.  It's the excessiveness that is the issue, not the fact that you're landing on the QB or whatever.

But anybody can create a rule and throw flags for violating it. I can come up with dozens. The problem is creating a rule that still allows for natural gameplay physics to happen.

Jalen Mils is the worst CB in the NFL

Change my mind

Y'all not gonna start pulling this out. Everyone talking about "Insert player on my team is the worst at their position in the league." Like, y'all know there are starters out there who never had a good game ever? Or that there are some QBs out there throwing 6 and 5 TDs in a game against some of these garbage DBs?
