    Led with the helmet, helmet to helmet contact. There was a great still shot last night of the helmet making contact with the Punter's jaw first. Dirty hit.

    You don't get a broken jaw or broken neck without getting his in that region. It was a blatant helmet to the face.

    It was both illegal and dirty and he will be fined because of it. Yes, players have to ease up on their hits and slow things down so they are in more control. If they don't, it's only a matter of time before someone dies. You don't break a guy's jaw with a legal hit. He lowered his helmet and body at a 45 degree angle and directed his hit at the Punter's jaw/face. I get that you don't like it, but it was completely illegal.

    Natural selection. The kickers that learn not to be looking the other way when a giant is coming at them will survive. Guys like this one, not so much.

    Kicker is a key position, if opposition coach is dumb enough to send a "dfenseless kicker" into a play where I can smash his ass legally, thats how Id coach my boys to play it.

    We'd soon be rid of "defenseless" players I think.

    Why isn't there more fist fights in NFL?

    That would sort out the cheap shot takers fast.... if they had to defend their shit the old fashioned way.

    Also, I am pretty sure that a punter is considered a defenseless receiver during the entire duration of a punt or kick because they do not wear the padding and helmets that normal players wear.

    If a player is about to make a saving tackle

    He or she is fair game of being taken out of the play

    Hence when the play is @ full speed

    There is no time to think of how you will block the player let alone know who the fukk he or she is,...

    Fair hit

    wrong place at wrong time

    that's football

    ok the Kicker wasn't aware, but it's still a dirty hit. If it's clean it's one that we can all laugh about and the punter just gets the wind knocked out of him gets up and will be made fun of in film the next day. Guy put his helmet right under the chin, that's probably the worst thing you can do.

    Serious injuries almost every game. Tons of concussions and life change injuries. Enjoy the nfl now cause it will likely be unrecognizable in 25 years. Diminished player pools and new rules regulating all tackles will decimate this sport.

    I don't know what you're laughing at.

    Steelers linebacker Terence Garvin blindsided Huber while Antonio Brown was running back Huber’s punt for a 67-yard touchdown. Huber was focused on Brown and didn’t see Garvin coming.

    Garvin drove his helmet into Huber around his chin and broke his jaw. There was no penalty called on the play. However, according to Pro Football Talk, Garvin’s hit should have been flagged because it would be considered a hit on a defenseless player. Punters and kickers are always in that category, so it’s illegal to hit them with the helmet or from the neck up.

    A helmet to the jaw isn't a clean hit though. I have no issue with the punter getting leveled, but it was not a clean hit. Helmet to helmet is one thing, but helmet to unprotected jaw is another.

    Yeah, but you have these guys out there playing in half of the padding and protection that the other players are wearing. Don't you think that gives then a slight disadvantage?

    Then do what firedawg mentioned and run off the field. If he could of he would laid that same hit on the returner, deserved to get drilled if he's going to try tackle the guy.

    Sucks it ended up helmet to helmet and the guy got hurt but I don't think it was intentional and shit happens.
