You’re not supposed to mess with Texas. That’s how the saying goes.

Case in point, here’s a story from Houston’s NBC station, explaining how a local mom laid the wood on an alleged perv:

Bam!

Now that is how you tackle. Shades of Patrick Willis at Ole’ Miss. Wrap him up, drive your legs, and win the leverage battle. Get that pad level low to the ground.

This is much better than anything we ever saw from Asante Samuel in his Eagles’ career. He would have dove out of the way to try to avoid the hit, like that Raiders game from back in the day where he totally whiffed and did a front flip.

He also said this a few years ago:

I disagree. We need Texas mom Phyllis Pena. She’s better than any of our current linebackers or DBs.
