Eric Page of the Toledo Rockets is tackled by Ryland Ward of the BGSU falcons. Toledo went on to win the battle of I-75 28-10. Comments and critiques are always welcome! Thanks.

Great shot, the color and details pop, and the oof bg is perfect, great job with a wonderful capture of action.

Thanks, It looks like a potentially dangerous tackle for the receivers knee haha but he was fine.

The impact was going to the hips, so his knee should be ok unless the shoe sticks. Unlike Sean Payton yesterday who didn't get tackled but screwed up his knee....

Very good. Well lit. Crop might be a bit tight, but I understand those situations. I like the facial expression. Good focus and bokeh. It sure helps to have the right lens!

Thanks, and yes the 300mm 2.8 is an amazing lens, I still am shocked at the level of detail you can get from an image even when severely cropping it down.
