Talk:Horse-collar tackle

Picture?

I wrote this whole article, but I don't have a goddamn clue as to why the picture won't show up. Little help, anybody? TheImpossibleMan

Only images uploaded to Wikipedia can be displayed in articles. An image from ESPN.com would certainly by a copyright violation, so I've simply deleted the link. Al 12:29, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

I need to create a redirect page, so that "Horse collar tackle" brings you to this article. However, I'm a frickin' noob, so if someone who knows how to do that could help...? -TheImpossibleMan

Done. To make a redirect page, you just make the page's contents be #REDIRECT [[Page to redirect to]].Tommstein 08:32, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

Notable instances

I think the article would benefit from a list of notable instances of horse-collars in the NFL. Besides the six in 2004, Bo Jackson comes to mind. I've also seen Shawn Merriman's tackle on Priest Holmes in 2005 listed. Do people think this would make a worthwhile addition and be able to add to the list? Torc2 22:27, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

I think the Bo Jackson one would... we already have several modern ones, but one or two more historic examples couldn't hurt.

The Term

Specifically, why is it called a "horse" collar? Seriously, the name doesn't fit other than sounding like a Marvel superhero villain. Just wondering. I see nothing of the tackle that has anything to do with horses. A "shoulderpad tackle" would've been a better term.

Ah, sports terms in general are dumb, anyways. So, never mind. Apple8800 (talk) 02:09, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

Injuries

This page claims that Tyrone Calico had his leg broken. The page for Tyrone Calico claims it was a knee injury. Which one was it? Maheath (talk) 18:50, 27 January 2022 (UTC)

OK, I found an article from The Baltimore Sun that says Calico injured both knees: https://www.baltimoresun.com/news/bs-xpm-2005-05-25-0505250288-story.html Maheath (talk) 18:59, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
