Canadian RB Runs Over Worst Defense of All Time on Way to TD
Was it dominant running? Or just the worst tackling to ever occur on the field of an organized football game?
You be the judge, but Iโm leaning toward the latter on this 50-yard steamrolling run by Canadian running back Jaeden Washington.
A two-sport athlete for St. Michaelโs College in Toronto (which is the equivalent of a U.S. high school), Washington emasculated an entire defense on his way to the end zone, bulldozing linebackers and shaking cornerbacks off like drunk children.
Cameron Smith of Yahoo! Sportsย spotted the video of the demoralizing run, and heย points out that this was just one of many touchdowns St. Michaelโs scored against St. Andrewโs (Aurora, Ont.) in a 53-2 drubbing.
By my count, Washington breaks 8.125 tackles on this play. Granted, Iโm being very liberal with what I consider a โtackle.โ One such โtackleโ includes a safetyโa SAFETYโjumping out of the way and swishing his hands in Washingtonโs general direction. Weโll count that as one-eighth of an attempted tackle.
That being said, nothing this defense could do was going to stop Washington, who turned into the Canadian Marshawn Lynch on this run. Almost every defender gets a hand on Washingtonโwho was first hit in the backfieldโand he still makes it into the end zone.
The question that remains is, does Washington have next-level stuff? Better question: How would he fare against defenders who are aware of their arms and can execute a form tackle?
Weโll have to wait and see. In the meantime, weโll keep this around as an instructional guide on how not to tackle.
