Even as an obsrver, you simply had to brace for impact. When former Eagles cornerback Sheldon Brown absolutely lit up Reggie Bush on an attempted screen pass 14 years ago, the seismic effects were surely felt miles away. It's a singular achievement in obliteration.

The crushing hit was hailed as the "tackle of the year" by many analysts, as Brown put his reputation for the tackling arts on display for the whole world to see. You could listen with your eyes closed and still grasp exactly what happened.

Even though Philadelphia would go on to lose this 2006 Divisional Round playoff game 27-24, Brown showed that the Eagles would come to play even in the hostile confines of the Saints' famous Superdome. The hit just conveyed the different type of intensity that players carry with in the postseason.

Additionally, Bush would go on to say later that this hit by the South Carolina product was the hardest he ever took in all of his career, adding to the sheer impact of the moment.

As we wait for football season to return soon, tackles like these make fans drool at the mouth for their favorite players to make plays like these this fall.
