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...
