Ohhh that's a great hit. Buck Pierce gambled and paid for it. He saw the extra blitz man, decided to not motion in a blocker as he thought it was a fake and ouch.
As some who played both American football and Canadian Football, they are hugely different. NFL is like playing in a phone booth with mean angry Gorillas who fight for every inch of that phone booth. Canadian Ball is like playing on a field, with lots of room and smaller people because you get outrun if your a huge gorilla. Both sports are great.
Also as someone who played both Football and Rugby competitively I can say that football is more dangerous. You have to have be tough to play rugby as the rucks are a war and you are much more exposed hits. Football, it doesn't matter how tough or big you are, everyone at some point gets messed up. Completely messed up, hit by a car messed up. Those pads make people think they are invincible and they hit like it.
I mean I was a d-end/guard/fullback (meaning I was never tackled) but I managed to break my hand, all my fingers on both hands but 1, broke ribs from a blindside hit to my side with a facemask, had 2 concussions, have a weird clicky thing with my jaw from a savage helmet slap and a torn something or other rotating joint in my shoulder that gives me a stinger every time I tackle someone remotely hard. Oh and I did that last one breaking a guys femur.
In rugby, I have only ever been messed up once making a tackle and never messed up getting tackled. I only broke my collarbone from a fat guy belly flopping on my while I got up and torn my LCL/meniscus and my calf screwing around in practice.
As well, I've played many more rugby games than Football games and also played at a much higher level than in football.
Rugby is a violent tough contact sport.
Football is a violent tough collision sport.
