It was unnecessary to lower helmet and hit. Whatever happened to football where you block and tackle using your hands? Helmets cannot be used as weapons.

This the nfl, it was a perfectly legal hit. Would it be ok for the punter to dive in and take runners knees out like probably would of tried. Quit your job making 500k for punting and go sell insurance. Tough hit it sucks, too bad it's big boy time.

Legal?! I don't know where you were bred!

Time to get your T level checked son...........

Great hit. Wasn't cheap at all because the punter was trying to come in and make the tackle. Guy is a fukkin idiot for not looking. Anyone that has ever played football at any level knows you keep ur head on a swivel.

Dirty, but legal. It wasn't his helmet, it was his shoulders full force just under the chin. I'm not sure what to think honestly. It was brutal and he had ill intent but seemingly within the rules.

You honestly think his shoulder hit him under the chin and broke his jaw? Which shoulder?

If his helmet made contact you would see the tacklers head move on impact.

It doesn't.

Then what hit his chin and broke it? Neither of his shoulders certainly did.

He forced his head upwards into the punter's head, that is why his didn't move.

THIS. And nothing else.

PAULYPOKER · 12-16-13, 11:37 PM

Lol....

Helmet clearly made the damaging impact......

But it was not helmet to helmet..

You're probably right.

Lol.....Impossible to hit face with helmet on...

It was helmet to the chin and windpipe....

I'm surprised his larynx was not crushed.........

I thought the chin was part of the face?

punter never saw it coming and was looking the other way, clearly a helmet to helmet hit on a defenseless player. Guy's NFL career is more than likely over after that play. Its a shame.

Monitor-Tan · 12-17-13, 12:52 AM

Just skimmed through this...

It was definitely not a legal hit, it was a "helmet to helmet" hit. He should be suspended..

Kickers do not wear full padding and neither does QB's..

It's a shit situation really.. Kicker was indeed in play and it's tough and at the same time it was a dirty hit..

At the end it's a lose lose situation.

That's only if the crown the helmet hits the lower part of ur chin and it gets hit up wards..

In this case the guy squared his body to level him, so the impact is not on the lower part of the chin where the V shape would be but more on the part where his gums would be and level at a slight lower angle more like.. Top to bottom impact now bottom to top. If that makes sense.
