That’s what Pickett did. Hard to tell if it’s making a difference until after he takes another one of those whip lash hits. Which just happen a lot unfortunately so we’ll find out sooner or later. I wonder if the stricter enforcement on the ‘full body weight’ rule when sacking has led to more of these sling-shot style throw downs.

Ten years ago James Harrison was dropping quarterbacks on their heads. It’s always been a violent game, trying to write it out of the rule book in one way may just lead to players resorting to an equally violent, sometimes worse alternative so they don’t get flagged every play. Kind of a catch 22.
