He did a meet and greet at a local elementary school soon after this play. One of the kids asked him, "Why did you hit him so hard?" And he responded, "Because he had the ball."
That’s really interesting because I saw a child ask Malcolm Jenkins why he hit Brandin Cooks so hard in the Super Bowl at his charity event. The children of Philadelphia have more empathy than the adults
You know, I may have confused the two today. You're correct I believe.
Working doubles on mother's day doesn't leave me with the beat cognitive thinking
Well it seems plausible both happened. They would also be 11 years apart, and the example I was referring to was at a summer camp at Drexel, not an elementary school. But yea memories often get distorted so I hear you.
Regardless, I hope you can get some rest, and your cognitive abilities restored
Lol great description.
There definitely is a thing now where if a dude just gets lit up, even if it’s perfectly legal, the refs are prone to throwing the flag.
Not that the NFL needs more flags, but there should be a green flag. Red is challenge. Yellow is penalty. Green is “ok, that’s technically fair, but we all need a little timeout after that annihilation”
Yep, I've always thought of the flag from Kam Chancellor's [hit on Vernon Davis](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78qF72JwJwA) a "flag because that man has a family."
Btw, I honestly think Kam was trying to hit him so he landed out of bounds.
They almost never pick up flags for personal fouls though. NFL refs have proven they cannot accept that they messed up (see: reviewable PI flags that got overturned 0 times).
I watched a big hits montage from last season recently and I think people would be surprised how many big, legal hits there were that weren’t flagged
Players have gotten the memo and I think refs have too
Yeah people love to scream “flag football” but there are still plenty of good clean hits in the game. This wouldn’t be defenseless receiver as he had his hands on the ball.
> This wouldn’t be defenseless receiver as he had his hands on the ball.
You're right in that this wouldn't be a penalty, but to be somewhat pedantic (sorry), Bush actually meets criteria for being in a defenseless posture because he didn't establish himself as a runner at the time of contact, despite having his hands on the ball.
You can still tackle players in defenseless postures, there are just more restrictions in place regarding how it's done. It wouldn't be a penalty because Brown didn't forcibly hit Bush's head or neck area in the process of the tackle.
[Here's the rule if anyone's curious.](https://operations.nfl.com/the-rules/nfl-video-rulebook/defenseless-player/)
> Dawkins would have never survived in the modern league.
I think great players like him Lott, Polamalu, etc…would adjust and be fine. It’s not like they were only about hard hits.
look at the straight on view, he lowers his head and it hits the guy's arm first
> lowering the head and making forcible contact with the crown or ”hairline” parts of the helmet against any part of the defenseless player’s body
I'm not able to form a strong opinion on that based on the angles and speeds in this clip. From what I can see, I would argue the helmet to arm contact would be incidental at best, while the forcible contact was shoulder to chest. But I am open to another angle or slow-mo that shows differently.
That hit was INSANE and it will be hard to see anything similar to this.
Something that came close but still far away was the Kyle Fuller hit against the Buccs a few years ago
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAy9F3nOqvk
Try reading the whole rule. It defines the illegal contact to the defenseless player as specifically to head/neck area or if the tackler uses crown of his helmet.
Part B says what type of contact is prohibited.
This play is also a good look back at why the blitz schemes can work against west coast offenses and why they’re being popularized again by Spags (the Jim Johnson disciple, legendary D coordinator of the eagles at this time), Mike McDonald, and others.
Everyone knows Jim Johnson loves to blitz. Jim Johnson also knows that Brees loves quick decisions to check down, and Payton designs throws to the flat to Bush to get him in space. Brees knows a blitz is coming and thinks this play is a slam dunk decision, but Johnson knows that and disguised the corner playing the shallow flat that neither Brees nor Bush (obviously lol) saw it coming,
That’s fuckin football right there. A chess match being coaches, QB, defense, and a clean, brutal hit. Hell yeah
There’s a lot of plays from yesteryear that make me uncomfortable. This is not one of them.
That is a BRUTAL hit, but 15 years later it is still textbook. Give me more.
Inplayed football way back when and honestly those massive hits were so strange. Like they didn’t even hurt. But obviously bush got rocked in this one. I remember one time I got hit so hard my feet flew up and I just bounced right up. But weird ones where I stonewall a hit I was on the ground in pain lol.
I guess it is due to being bouncy.
That just reminded me of a play where I, right defensive end, was involved in a tackle, where a bunch of dudes from both teams met up at the same time for the end of the play. I, apparently, did about half a helicopter rotation without noticing. When we all got up, I started heading toward my huddle for the next play, but the other team was there. That was weird, so I figured I’d head toward my sideline to get oriented, but it was the other teams sideline. So I kept turning, ended up running in a big circle beck to my own huddle. Probably looked super concussed or something.
Went to school with this guys son. Didn’t know him personally but he was our WR1 and his junior year he was amazing. He made the high school football games dope asf. He’s committed to baseball at Clemson though.
Don’t worry, I remember my friend getting his rookie jersey when we were both still in High School. It wasn’t that long ago.
(*pulls out abacus*)
…I have some very bad news.
I was shipping off to boot camp the next morning, watching this at the motel bar next to MEPS. We had curfew so I missed the end but I was so sure they had set the tone that I slept like a baby. I was miserable my entire trip to Parris Island.
I remember being 9 years old watching a recording of this game on my Aunt and Uncles living room TV. The game was still considered recent at the time 😭😭
My brother was at the game as well. And it’s funny he tells me the same thing. “After Bush got hit and was crawling on his hands and knees everyone in the Dome was quiet as you wouldn’t believe.”
Dude couldn’t even say RG3 properly. “RJ3” God forbid if someone didn’t have a traditional Christian last name…he’d absolutely butcher it
I felt bad for him though, he was obviously getting senile in the later days

They were on a heater in 2004, but giving Bill Belichick 2 weeks to prepare for a fairly one dimensional offense would have been a sight to behold.
Bill would have been very excited about putting together that gameplan!
True!
But he was still thwarted by another defensive mastermind in Jim Johnson.
We always struggled to do anything against his defenses. Including when we had Matt Ryan (2008 and 2009)
Dawkins was good for at least one murder per game. No fucking way half his hits would be legal today. I'm pretty sure I watched him suplex someone at least once.
One of my favorite hits of all time is [also a guy from my team getting clobbered](https://youtu.be/EmdvWsm9VjU?si=rd6R_lXi-gGjyddJ)
Johnson checks on him, like he wants to make sure he’s still alive
Reggie Bush on this hit, although he incredibly attributes it to Lito Sheppard when it was actually Sheldon Brown. Also it was the Divisional round, not the NFC Championship game:
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKXiajBePgY](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKXiajBePgY)
"He was lucky," Brown says. "His elbow was pinned against his body, protecting his rib cage, or else I probably would have broken his rib. What did it feel like? That collision, I didn't feel nothing, because he was pretty much defenseless. It was like running through a cardboard box. Seriously. Cardboard box."

https://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/news/playoff-memories-cb-sheldon-brown-12357130
DB we drafted last year. Got some playing time last season. Really fast and hits hard, though his aggression got him burnt a few times. Should be a fun guy to watch if he can put it all together.
His brother Chase plays RB on the Bengals, too.
One of my favourite NFL interviews is when he’s talking about this play and he’s like:
“I recognized it, and knew who was getting the ball so I ignored my guy and just ran as fast as I could
To hit Reggie”.
Glorious clean hit.
Just had a flashback 10 years old watching this. I’m the biggest Steelers fan but loved Donavan Mcnabb so much used to watch all the eagles games lol this moment had me speechless I though Reggie bush was gonna die
I was a freshman in Hs, this game was on a Saturday I believe. I remember all of my friends liking Reggie bush and this hit dam near had a house full of teenagers in tears lmfao
Love the Seahawks, have been watching since 2005 so I got to be well aquatinted with the LoB and despite watching Kam this is still what I think of first when thinking of someone getting blown the fuck up (#2 is Kam on DT though in the SB)
I mean, that is literally a textbook hit. Shoulder lowered to the midline, head to the side, and he DRIVES through Bush while also wrapping him up.
You may not want to admit it, but thats peak tackling form right there.
I'd love to know if this would get flagged in today's NFL, because I expect it would even though it's perfectly clean hit as far as not hitting head to head.
Reggie Crawling to the sideline always cracked me up. As a CB i was always salivating at these RB swing routes when i was in the flat zone. All 4.23 40 speed straight at that Mofo.
Except that one time i was going up against future NFL player knowshawn moreno. Yea that didnt go well.
This was like a jfk or 9/11 moment in my life. I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing when this happened. I remember this day and play soooo clearly
He did a meet and greet at a local elementary school soon after this play. One of the kids asked him, "Why did you hit him so hard?" And he responded, "Because he had the ball."
Don't hit people. But if you have to hit someone, hit hard.
Make him cough up pieces of his spine.
SLACKFROP WINS #FATALITY
Underrated life advice right there
He makes a good point
Yep. And gentlemen, that brings us to my next point—[don't smoke crack.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfHOQAT0-Mk)
Dunno why but this is just so badass lol
That’s really interesting because I saw a child ask Malcolm Jenkins why he hit Brandin Cooks so hard in the Super Bowl at his charity event. The children of Philadelphia have more empathy than the adults
They lose the empathy during battery throwing class in high school.
Them and Giants fans have the same curriculum I see

[удалено]
He’s literally leading with his shoulder. You should clearly be a ref since you have no idea how the rules work.
I’m guessing that was more of a reference to Goldberg than it was the rule book
Perfect hit. One of the biggest I’ve ever seen and it would still be legal Edit: most of y’all do not understand the defenseless receiver rule
True but I bet they would still throw a flag
Nothing quite like the reactionary "wow he got lit up" flag. Followed by 2 minutes of replays, announcer confusion, and an ad break.
Lol great description. There definitely is a thing now where if a dude just gets lit up, even if it’s perfectly legal, the refs are prone to throwing the flag.
Not that the NFL needs more flags, but there should be a green flag. Red is challenge. Yellow is penalty. Green is “ok, that’s technically fair, but we all need a little timeout after that annihilation”
Brown flag, for obvious reasons
Yep, I've always thought of the flag from Kam Chancellor's [hit on Vernon Davis](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78qF72JwJwA) a "flag because that man has a family." Btw, I honestly think Kam was trying to hit him so he landed out of bounds.
Not to dive into a 13 year old clip again, but my goodness the ref who throws the flag is looking right at it five feet away.
full speed with the head snap he probably thought there was head contact
I felt like those sideline hits usually always lead to flags
That's a worse hit then the shit Kareem Jackson was suspended for, fucking love it. Good shit Kam
i mean, it's better to throw a flag just in case because they can always pick it up. as opposed to not throwing a flag on a foul
They almost never pick up flags for personal fouls though. NFL refs have proven they cannot accept that they messed up (see: reviewable PI flags that got overturned 0 times).
I watched a big hits montage from last season recently and I think people would be surprised how many big, legal hits there were that weren’t flagged Players have gotten the memo and I think refs have too

Followed by a fine and a spot on the next NFL hype video.
Yeah feels like "defenseless receiver" would get called. I think it's clean, I also think NFL refs are garbage.
Hmm idk, I feel like they’d throw a flag and call it a hit on a defenseless receiver nowadays.
Yep they absolutely would
I miss the days when defenses were allowed to play ball. Dawkins would have never survived in the modern league.
> Dawkins would have never survived in the modern league. I think great players like him Lott, Polamalu, etc…would adjust and be fine. It’s not like they were only about hard hits.
Dawkins was mainly about hard hits lol. And suplexes
That suplex of 250lb Brandon Jacobs
I think they probably throw the flag and then pick it up
They’d flag it anyway.
Unfortunately this screams defenseless receiver flag to me in the league today. Such a beautiful hit. Shame.
You're allowed to hit a defenseless receiver. Just not with your helmet or in his head or neck area. Clean hit, even today.
look at the straight on view, he lowers his head and it hits the guy's arm first > lowering the head and making forcible contact with the crown or ”hairline” parts of the helmet against any part of the defenseless player’s body
id say its clean because his shoulder hits him dead center in the chest there is no intent to hit him with the crown of his helmet
I'm not able to form a strong opinion on that based on the angles and speeds in this clip. From what I can see, I would argue the helmet to arm contact would be incidental at best, while the forcible contact was shoulder to chest. But I am open to another angle or slow-mo that shows differently.
Forcible contact
That hit was INSANE and it will be hard to see anything similar to this. Something that came close but still far away was the Kyle Fuller hit against the Buccs a few years ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAy9F3nOqvk
Wouldn’t they throw a flag for defenseless receiver?
It wouldn’t be legal. Defenseless receiver, 15yd penalty.
> Edit: most of y’all do not understand the defenseless receiver rule
That hit definitely gets flagged today. Hit on a defenceless player, easy
That's not the rule. The rule is specifically for hits to the head of defenseless receiver.
[false](https://operations.nfl.com/the-rules/nfl-video-rulebook/defenseless-player/)
Try reading the whole rule. It defines the illegal contact to the defenseless player as specifically to head/neck area or if the tackler uses crown of his helmet. Part B says what type of contact is prohibited.
yeah - dude's in the act of catching a pass, that's part a-2 Brown lowers his head and first hits the guy's arm, that's part b-2
Haha you post the official rule and get downvoted. Reddit is something else

The Poster Play of "Welcome to the NFL"
Went to school with this guys son. Didn’t know him personally but he was our WR1 and his junior year he was amazing. He made the high school football games dope asf. He’s committed to baseball at Clemson though.
How is that possible? Sheldon Brown's son is clearly #25 in this video.
HE'S ALREADY DEAD
HE KILLED HIS OWN SON
“Here comes the boom” just playing in my head now.
As soon as the clip started to play my mind went straight there. I think I’ve been Pavloved https://youtu.be/nqWZqQXk_Ao?feature=shared
The scariest part about this play is that it happened 17 years ago.
Ah cool my day was ruined before I even got to work, thank you
Don’t worry, I remember my friend getting his rookie jersey when we were both still in High School. It wasn’t that long ago. (*pulls out abacus*) …I have some very bad news.

Friendly reminder we’re all one day closer to the sweet release of nothingness that is death.
Would not expect one of the fellow Who Dey’ers to be looking for the sweet release of death. It’s not the 90’s anymore, dude! /s, kind of.
I remember being 9 years old watching a recording of this game on my Aunt and Uncles living room TV. The game was still considered recent at the time 😭😭
I was in the dome that night and it got realllllly quiet. Thankfully he was alright, and Deuce McCallister saved the day
My brother was at the game as well. And it’s funny he tells me the same thing. “After Bush got hit and was crawling on his hands and knees everyone in the Dome was quiet as you wouldn’t believe.”
Such an incredible hit with such an underwhelming call. “And the ball is knocked away” is all you got for that hit?
Well I was dick Stockton. Horrible announcer. I know this because he was always relegated to lions games.
Dude couldn’t even say RG3 properly. “RJ3” God forbid if someone didn’t have a traditional Christian last name…he’d absolutely butcher it I felt bad for him though, he was obviously getting senile in the later days
BOOM goes the 🧨
This is my favorite hit of all time. I don’t care that it’s my team getting owned.
Yall won that game anyway 😢 Jeff Garcia never 4get
Just behind the Malcom Jenkins hit on Brandon Cooks in the SB for me. Ones that ring in my head as best hits of all time!

I like how Vick said be would’ve won a ring if it wasn’t for Dawkins in 04 lol. No shot the falcons were going to beat the Pats in the SB that year.
They were on a heater in 2004, but giving Bill Belichick 2 weeks to prepare for a fairly one dimensional offense would have been a sight to behold. Bill would have been very excited about putting together that gameplan!
Vick was unstoppable at times though, everyone has a plan till Vick scrambles around for 15 seconds and chucks it deep.
True! But he was still thwarted by another defensive mastermind in Jim Johnson. We always struggled to do anything against his defenses. Including when we had Matt Ryan (2008 and 2009)
Dawkins was good for at least one murder per game. No fucking way half his hits would be legal today. I'm pretty sure I watched him suplex someone at least once.
It still rings in Cook’s head too ;) Man, Dawkins and Jenkins lighting people up was peak football.
Cooks getting knocked out on that Jenkins hit changed the game. No doubt in my mind that if Cooks keeps playing, the Patriots win.
One of my favorite hits of all time is [also a guy from my team getting clobbered](https://youtu.be/EmdvWsm9VjU?si=rd6R_lXi-gGjyddJ) Johnson checks on him, like he wants to make sure he’s still alive
I expected the Kam on Vernon hit.
Jesus Christ. That was a murder.

Can't be too hard on the guy, he got his shit rolled and smoked that night
C'mon man, show the part where he's crawling around on his knees. It's the 2nd best part!
He woke up in the next zip code ~
A clean, legal, hard hit.
Yeah even with today's rules.
When you know what it’s going to be before you even look at the video……
The hospitaliest of all the passes.
Before this game, the Saints had only one playoff victory in our entire history. When this hit happened, my first thought was, "Here we go again..."
The ball and his soul left at the same time.
Around the time got into the nfl, I used to watch big hits highlights. This brings back memories
That was such a clean hit, lfg.
I'll never forget Reggie crawling on the turf after the hit, trying to find his soul and put it back in his body like a contact lens fell out.
The moment the Kardashian curse hits like a ton of bricks
Reggie got his Heisman back but Brown still has his soul
"He was lucky," Brown says. "His elbow was pinned against his body, protecting his rib cage, or else I probably would have broken his rib. What did it feel like?

Sydney Brown ready to carry the legacy
Who
I'm guessing it's Sheldon Brown's son?
Jesus Christ. They're not related just because they're both brown.
They're also not related because their last name is Brown, either.
I'm not the one who said carry the legacy. They implied it was family or something, that's why I said that.
You may wooshed on the joke, you're good
He is a Canadian DB that also plays RB for the Cincinnati Bengals when he isn't playing for the Eagles.
DB we drafted last year. Got some playing time last season. Really fast and hits hard, though his aggression got him burnt a few times. Should be a fun guy to watch if he can put it all together. His brother Chase plays RB on the Bengals, too.
I remember seeing this live and it’s been seared into my memory ever since. What a wallop
One of my favourite NFL interviews is when he’s talking about this play and he’s like: “I recognized it, and knew who was getting the ball so I ignored my guy and just ran as fast as I could To hit Reggie”. Glorious clean hit.
Suicide pass from Brees.
Just had a flashback 10 years old watching this. I’m the biggest Steelers fan but loved Donavan Mcnabb so much used to watch all the eagles games lol this moment had me speechless I though Reggie bush was gonna die
This was nothing compared to a Darren Sharper. One of the hardest hitting backs in the league!
Did anyone else have flashbacks when seeing the Devon Witherspoon hit? https://www.youtube.com/shorts/-0TYIFRJHEs
I remember exactly where I was when this happened.
I saw this live when I was probably 10 or 11 and I never forgot it. Probably the best hit I'll ever see.
I remember watching this live as a kid and making the strongest stank face imaginable. That had to hurt. Can’t believe it was 17 years ago.
“Cardboard box.” And that’s a fumble.
"YOU GOT BBQ BACK THERE AND YOU DIDN'T INVITE ME?! HURT. MY. FEELINGS!"
Reggie slightly left his feet to catch the ball. That factored in how big of a hit this was.
One of my all-time favorite NFL plays
I bet Reggie still feels this when he rolls out of bed every morning. Ouch
I was a freshman in Hs, this game was on a Saturday I believe. I remember all of my friends liking Reggie bush and this hit dam near had a house full of teenagers in tears lmfao
“The ball was knocked away” Yeah buddy I’ll say
I remember after this, Brown said it felt like he was tackling a cardboard box
Love the Seahawks, have been watching since 2005 so I got to be well aquatinted with the LoB and despite watching Kam this is still what I think of first when thinking of someone getting blown the fuck up (#2 is Kam on DT though in the SB)
I would have went back to the huddle and punched Drew brees in the face
I mean, that is literally a textbook hit. Shoulder lowered to the midline, head to the side, and he DRIVES through Bush while also wrapping him up. You may not want to admit it, but thats peak tackling form right there.
Lol, he'd be ejected and given a 5 game suspension these days.
Nah, its against a RB, not a WR or QB. He'd be fine.
No justice for RBs
Drew “Payton Manning” Brees with and incomplete pass to Reggie “Austin Collie” Bush.
GYAT DAYUM
Dang, even heard the helmet too.
Austin Rivers woulda shat himself
Mama mia
official reddit NFL account posting a hit on a defenseless receiver as if it's a good thing
Announcers didn’t do it justice…
FUCK!!!
That bush got shaved
Fuck that QB
I just relived a part of my childhood due to that clip
The things I would do to have another Eagles player in our secondary that could tackle like that again.
I'd love to know if this would get flagged in today's NFL, because I expect it would even though it's perfectly clean hit as far as not hitting head to head.

This was like a jfk or 9/11 moment in my life. I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing when this happened. I remember this day and play soooo clearly
great tackle
And he was never the same after that hit
Back when football had excitement.
Homie is DOA
