To clarify that the horse collar rule has nothing to do with this.
"The horse-collar tackle is an American football tackle in which a defender grabs the back inside of an opponent's shoulder pads and yanks the ball-carrier downwards, a technique which has been used for decades."
From wikipedia. The rule (and nothing I've read anywhere) mentions anything about hair.
but that rule does not require the grabbing of an opponents shoulder pads anymore, if you grab his jersey, by that area, its illegal as well.
as happened in the NOLA game to reggie bush.
i think you're wrong.
i think i watched the NOLA game today where the announcers SPECIFICALLY talked about the jersey grabbing.
wtf is nola? just say saints or something... it's either no or saints.
anyways, the rule is that you can't grab the jersey or horsecollar and immediately pull the player down. i'm pretty sure (as it was explained on the fox nfl postgame show) that if you grab the jersey and THEN grab the horsecollar it's legal because you're not pulling down immediately.
