Again, like Scandrick told him, STAY OFF THE GROUND unless you have to. This wasn't a situation where he had to. And how in the hell is Mo not going to the ground there leading Dez more succeptble to injury? :huh:

Mo saw the ball, went to make a play. Dez, for some reason, was still looking back at Romo. That's when contact happened. If an injury occurred, that's simply the way the cookie crumbled. Sucks, we all would have been very very upset, but this is football. You give 100% in practice, defenders make plays on the ball. The end.

If you slow it down, Mo is on the ground way before he makes contact with Dez. It was split second, but Dez ran into Mo - Mo didnt go for a hit.

Well agree to disagree sir. I'm of the mindset of minimizing uneccessary risk. You can go hard in practice with diving in a freaking crowd.

Accident or not, if Dez got hurt there, I am pretty sure Claiborne would have been drawn and quartered.

Could have been disastrous but no way I believe that was intentional. Mo needs to listen to OScan and stay off the ground. That will help avoid injuries to him and his teammates.

Happens all the time in practices.

Hard to stop a DB from trying to make a play on the ball.

Dez thought he tried to take out his legs and reacted.

I'm sure that when Dez watched film (or saw that Tweet) he saw that wasn't the case at all.

So I guess you want him taking Romo to the ground, too, on the blitz? And let's practice crackback blocks.

You can practice hard and be smart about it.

There is a difference between intentionally hitting someone and playing the ball, ding dong. Your comparison would only work if Mo intentionally went for Dez's knees. Try and make a decent counter-argument in your lifetime, you've failed up to this point.
