Is Roughing the Kicker the Most Over Sympathized Call in Football?

[Seaweed]

It seems that players get called if they even sniff the kickers shoelaces, and the kicker goes down. Anyone agree?

If referring to the one in the Jets game, it was a bad call. Defender was playing the ball and underneath the kicker, kicker fell on him Hollywood style.

The roughing the punter in the Dallas game was perfectly fine! Hell the kicker could have broken an ankle with that hard hit

agree lou, but i believe that was a makeup call because the play before should have been offsetting personal misconduct not just on Miami. So it was a make up IMO

That was the play that inspired this thread. Ridiculous call.

Why is Sanchez throwing running routes to Tim Tebow on third down?

Kickers are in completely vulnerable positions. As well, kickers are average human beings; not genetic freaks of nature.

They need to be protected.
