Except that wasn't the crown of the helmet he hit him with. The tackler's facemask was pretty much right in the ball carriers numbers. That was mano on mano football, and the bigger, stronger player won. Coaches should be teaching that tackle.
And whose neck are you referring to getting broken anyway?
