📐 Tackle Plane & Spatial Physics

1
Defender Center of Mass Compromise:

Defenders dive with a forward pitch (height ≤ 2.5 ft) to tackle lower extremities. A hurdle with an apex > 3.8 ft completely negates defensive wrap-up leverage.

2
Goal Line Breaking Momentum:

With an entry speed of 16.4 mph (7.33 m/s) and a runner mass of ~225 lbs (102 kg), horizontal momentum exceeds 745 N·s, ensuring the ball breaks the plane even if tackled at descent.

3
Risk vs. Probability Lift:

Traditional ground collision against low-loaded defenders at the 1-yard line results in a 55.2% score rate. Clean aerial clearance elevates success to 100% (+44.8% lift).
