There was a 15 yeard personal foul called. So, are defenders supposed to get out of the way and let a WR own the middle of the field? Not make the tackle and let the offense get a bigger play? What are a defenders options in that situation? It's absolute horseshit that that is considered a penalty...
You don't get to throw your shoulder at a guy. You just don't get to. You have to play defense in control of your body and hit in a way that isn't going to likely cause an injury. Either wise up or get the **** out of the league.
