Texans punter tries with all his might to make tackle, gets shrugged off like an overzealous puppy
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
Shane Lechler didn’t help the view of punters on Sunday when he tried (and failed) to make this tackle. It’s important to note that he didn’t need to attempt this. Dexter McCluster had stepped out of bounds already, but he wanted to prove himself. This was his chance and, well, it’s all really sad.
You know that thing when you meet a dog that wants to jump all over you? It’s super cute at the beginning, then gets tiresome. Lechler is that dog, and he just got brushed off like it’s nothing.
Important to note: McCluster weighs 170 pounds, and Lechler weighs 237 pounds.
