Watch Navy receiver Nick Henderson go low on Notre Dame cornerback Robert Blanton about 25 yards from the end of the play during Saturday's game in South Bend.
Fighting Irish assistant Corwin Brown ripped the Midshipmen tactics Wednesday night. That video is after the jump.
Thanks to Joe of Irish Round Table.
Update: Here's yet another look at the play, sent to us from Keith Arnold of NBC Sports.com and Inside the Irish blog.

This happens with Navy every year they play Notre Dame. Typical Navy.

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA...WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA...Don't worry Corwin, nobody heard of you before this garbage and when you're unemployed in two months nobody will hear from you again. Face it brah, you got out-coached and out-played by Navy twice in the last three years when you hadn't lost to them in 40 years.

And them being outcoached has exactly what to do with the fact that the Navy player delivered a cheap shot that sure looked designed to injure? I guess we just have to get used to people trying to shrug off crap like this in college football, but it would be nice if Navy's supporters, if no one else's, would gather the honor to acknowledge that this was wrong.

The only thing wrong with that block was that it came late. He was above the knees, that's a legal blocking technique, just not appropriate at that time of the play.

ND's coach whined about Navy's "cut blocks" in his tirade. Everybody that plays the service academies complain, but it's legal. If his team's linemen were outweighed by 100 lbs, he'd do the same.

That is pretty egregious.
Yeah, Brown shouldn't have gone into that tirade and it does come off like whining. However, that was a cheap shot and it was dangerous.
The most disappointing aspect of that play is that Blanton (the corner on the receiving end) did not go after the guy and pound the hell out of him.
That is the kind of play that blows out knees and ends careers. It was after the whistle was blown, from the blind side and right on the side of the knee. It was dirty as hell.
