changing direction. Often the defender and the receiver will tangle up a bit, and then the separation happens. Or, like the Ute defender did, just hold onto the receiver and pull him down.

Absolutely nothing cheap about this, and as low an impact engagement with the receiver as there can be. Compare this, even if he tugged on his jersey, with the force of collision happening elsewhere on the field. This was clearly Kuithe planting and blowing his knee. Nothing cheap...at all. No matter how badly we feel for him. Criddle knows best.
