Not shoulder tackle. Drop to the second level and wrap up.

You do that and get called roughing for landing on them

Ok so drop out of their passing motion so you have no chance to deflect the ball or their arm, and then make sure you wrap them up well enough to gently lay them on the grass. Yup totally fair for the defense.

yeah as long as we imagine coming in below his chin with your hands below your shoulders might somehow get a deflection, coming in lower totally would have given up that chance

Either go for the deflect or try to wrap him up. Don’t try to half ass both.

And then you would land on top of the QB for a free 15 lol

People who say this type of thing have clearly never played competitive tackle football.

That’s a penalty for sure.
