That’s One Way to Break a Tackle

Published by Dave at 2:01 pm under American Football

If this had been, say, Steve Slaton of the Houston Texans and not Joey Walton of Lewiston High School in Idaho, this play would have been challenged by the opposing coach in a heartbeat, and we would have seen about 5 different angles on this cartwheel in slow-motion instant replay, and maybe one of them would have revealed if his elbow had touched grass, thus rendering the play dead at that spot and nullifying one of the niftiest touchdown runs ever.

Thankfully, though, it’s just high school football, and we can celebrate this kid’s kung fu on YouTube. Sick run, Joey. Bravo.

    …and if Jack Del Rio HAD challenged such a call, it would undoubtedly have been obvious to all on replay that hypothetical Slaton was not down. God, the Jaguars suck. I will go cry now.
