And watching it from this angle... I dunno, shit happens so much faster than seeing it at the right angle afterwards in slomo. Yeah, he could have gone low or I guess tried to make an arm tackle. He definitely took at least a few steps to get right into his path, so I'd change what I said a little in terms of "there's nothing the defender could do".
It's just neutering the defense though if you can't come up and make that play, and the guy did clearly brace for impact as opposed to head-hunt.
