It wasn't a challenge. He had the ball and took steps. That was just a blatant helmet to helmet tackle.

I think since he's not a "defenseless" receiver it's fair game to try and murder him.

Apparently it's cool to do personal fouls to turn the ball over. Nice precedent.

If a tackle leads to a helmet popping off and the play ending, why wouldn't the refs throw the flag just in case? You can always pick it back up after review.

I think high hits were a point of emphasis last year. They're totally over that now.

edit: and someone hosed with that link. its a playlist.

He's ok, may turn out to be something special.

Considering the other rookies he's much better than most of them.

It's awesome because it looked like they both had concussion symptoms right afterwards. Both staggering around like drunkards. Legal.
