Replacement refs: The story the NFL wants to keep quiet

You have to be kidding me, he leads with the helmet, makes no attempt to get low, and thrusts his helmet upwards under his chin, that is one of the most dangerous hits you can make in football, talk about defenseless. Running with a full head of steam, and having someone do that to you. just look at how his left arm reacts to the hit.

BTW, he got fined 35k for the hit I believe. So much for the clean hit theory. I do understand its a cowboy on the receiving end, lol, but that doesnt make it right.

Actually from that animation you posted, it appeared the helmet didn't hit the chin but right between the numbers. However, it's the angle I'm looking at it from. I'm sure if I saw the hit from the side, I could tell if it hit the chin.

I just don't have a problem with that type of hit but that's just me.
