I'm sure he's be coached heavily to give himself up, but it seems to me that playoff football is different and you should utilize every tool in the box to its max potential. It just seemed outside of his playing mentality, and to the degree he's being coached to avoid hits.

Eh, blowing a knee in the playoffs usually means missing games the next season. (Remember how superhuman AP's return was? He was injured a couple weeks before the playoffs.) Given that Luck getting hurt would mean losing whatever game they're in, and if it's the right injury ALSO losing games to start the next season, I can understand telling him to get down, especially in two-on-one situations.
