Face Tackling, Spearing or good hit?

That is the only thing, Mike. In my experience guys hate to call SPEARING. It sounds so violent!

I think we've shown you here that most guys don't really give a damn if it's spearing, butt blocking or face tackling. Because to most officials it doesn't matter, it's all the same. I know when I announce the foul it's simply IHC. If, on those rare times when a coach asks my sideline guy exactly what their player did, they get a "coach, he led with his helmet". Amazingly, although they may complain that's not what he did, they've never and I mean never have asked what type of helmet contact it was.
