Yes, we need a video of this. From the original reply during the game iirc, besides being a bit of blindside, the knee from Eakin was starting to come out a bit. Thankfully MT was close enough to Eakin by that point that there was going to be body on body contact anyways and the knee wasn’t a factor, but the intent of what Eakin was trying to do was clear.
