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.

Well he got hit in the legs while they were up in the air. So if he slid feet first they would not have been up in the air. I agreed with your statement that he could get hurt anyway. Just saying that in this particular case it was an awkward slide that left him in a vulnerable spot. Also Ngata could have possibly drawn a penalty. Griffs slide in this case left him vulnerable. Thank God it was not worse. Thats whats important.
