Sliding doesn't protect you 100% from injury. Guys can still hit you on the way down or late. Ngata wasn't going to let up, he would have him hit regardless.

the one thing Griffin has to understand, and maybe he does, is that once he is running he absolutely has a target on him. Defenses know they want to hit him every chance they can, and it is impprtant to slide or protect himself. I think he is learning and will, but when the game is on the line his competitive spirit and drive takes over. I don't know that you want him to break that part.
