I don't know nfl rules, thank you. Starting to slide means play is stopped? You dont need contact to stop the play? Okay that certainly makes changes context for what i see
I assumed (from 30 year old memory of learning ) was like when i played cfl football when i was very young, if contact isn't made they can keep going and they aren't "down". Is would like to be able to see a better angle and have the ability to pause.
I disagree that too much time happened before the defense started the motion to tackle, i could never stop in the amount of time i see. That's less than half a second to stop what you have already started. And while im nota preofessional or even play sports it seems super human to stop mid action
Now I'll pull out all your pubic haaaaaaiiiiiiiiiir🎶
