    I don't know. In the Jackson hit, the guy was looking down when he made contact even though his shoulder seemed to be what made the bigger impact. Does he go in the same way if his he's facing Jackson? I doubt it.

    The Harrison hit on Massaquoi was the same except he didn't seem to me to be looking down as much. But his helmet was the first thing to contact him.

    From the Harrison thread.
    "NFL rules now require a defender to give a receiver time to defend himself before he absorbs such a hit."
    About says it all...

    You can facepalm in front of the cop when he pulls you over for speeding - see if it gets you out of a ticket..

    Cruds, that makes no sense.

    You're comparing set laws and rules to the NFL retroactively punishing players and changing rules mid-season.

    I hope all three of these guys appeal their fines and win. Merriweather and Robinson are first-time offenders have been fined 10X the previous amount.

    The NFL is ruining football with this new rule. Your supposed to strike fear in your opponent. Its part of FOOTBALL.

    Unless you atleast played college football you shouldn't even comment on this thread. Effing ridiculous. And I was a runningback

    Merriweathers was nasty though, he had no reason to hit him like he did.
