Redskins' Landry and Eagles' Ramsey fined for unnecessary roughness

[MTK]

I don't have a problem with the fine, he put his head down at the last second which he didn't need to do.

He's already said that it won't change the way he plays so I wouldn't worry about it.

Just asking but isn't it still an illegal hit even if he would have kept his head up but still hit helmet to helmet?

Yeah probably, especially since it was a hit on a QB.

I think he could have avoided all helmet contact if he just kept his head up.

Ramsey's hit looked worse to me because it seemed as if took he the shot as a premeditated act.

Landry's did not seem premeditated but it was an illegal helmet to helmet hit and he was launched in the air to make the hit.

Both fines are justifiable...
