i've only been playing for a month but whenever i watch these videos it seems like the whole "spirit of the game" idea just goes out the window. Contact is blatant all the time...
@ghubing im with ghubing...its not like the defender was timing his jump to the offence's jump. he went to make a play to try to get the d even though he was out of position. if you dont even try you're obviously not gonna get it. if you're playing defense expecting the other team to play perfect offense, you might as well not play defense at all. and on top of that if he dropped the disc during that play it would have been a foul for a score. no harm no foul
I'm with illegit -- I think 40 had no biz in there. He's effectively throwing his core mass (hips) at the receiver's head after the play is already done. (Watch the replay.) Then he rides the guy to the ground and almost snaps the guy's neck. 67 otoh sees he has no angle and wisely gets out of the way.
@ghubing If you watch the slo mo, he jumps when the offensive player catches the disc. He had literally no chance. His only chance is if the offense can't make the jump, which means he should stay down and wait for the read on the mac. If no mac, he has the easy grab on a short jump.
Basically, the defender is bad at reading and took it out on the offense. At such a high level it's embarassing. Luckily the way he came down is very likely to break his wrists.

@Zorbingguy Well all three were going for it and then there was contact. It's going to happen every once in awhile.

the slow-mo makes the contact look a lot worse than it really is. great effort by both players and great catch by chase

@illegitimate0 #40 aka Wodarious does suffer from limp wrist syndrome so this is certainly a pastability
