Summary
Atlanta Braves manager Walt Weiss made a tackle on Los Angeles Angels designated hitter Jorge Soler during a brawl at Angel Stadium. The Atlanta Falcons took notice and posted a screenshot of the tackle, considering Weiss as a potential linebacker prospect.
Our Reading
The game followed a familiar script.
Weiss, a 62-year-old manager, turned into a linebacker, dropping his shoulder and taking down the 6-foot-3, 235-pound Soler to the ground.
The Falcons saw something they liked in Weiss’ tackle, and it’s a learning moment for their linebackers.
Weiss’ goal was to take Soler off his feet before he hurt someone, but it’s not like the Falcons didn’t already know how to tackle.
This one felt recognizable early, and the result wasn’t surprising by the end: Weiss is a coach, not a linebacker, but he’s got some skills.
Original observation: The more coaches try to stop fights, the more they end up getting into them.
