October 19, 200917 yr No it was a cheap shot because he left his FEET and went head hunting...... those who do not believe it was cheap I wonder if they ever played.
October 19, 200917 yr That makes no sense. It was a terrible hit. No it was a cheap shot because he left his FEET and went head hunting...... those who do not believe it was cheap I wonder if they ever played. So if he hits him like that as/after the ball arrives, then is it still a cheap shot? I agree, it's a cheap shot, but only due to the timing of the hit. Whether you played or not has no bearing on the debate.

October 19, 200917 yr Yes leaving your feet head hunting is a cheap shot regardless in my book. We agree it's a cheap shot. But disagree on the circumstances. Watch the video again, he hit him in the shoulder, not the head. So my answer my question, if the PR catches the ball and a split second later is hit like that, is that a cheap shot/penalty?
October 19, 200917 yr Is there really any debate about this? It was clearly a cheap shot. No debate, it was a cheap shot.
October 19, 200917 yr http://nfl.fanhouse.com/2009/10/18/dante-wesley-ejected-after-hit-causes-brawl-in-panthers-bucs-g/ I would suspect that he will be missing at least one game check. He should get more than that. That was pathetic.
October 20, 200917 yr We had a kid at Male a couple of years ago had his hand up for a fair catch and this played came right at him. Missed the season and part of the next,,JV game. A guy could really get hurt or even worse. Bad play.

So my answer my question, if the PR catches the ball and a split second later is hit like that, is that a cheap shot/penalty? He left his feet in a sling-shot effect like way and was going to hit him regardless if the ball was there or not. I will say the same thing I say in my youth football league. Football is a game of of controlled violence. We must control the violence so that we can play the game.

No different than a safety leaving his feet to seperate the wr from the ball, that's football. The timing was terrible on this hit and that made it cheap

October 20, 200917 yr At what point in time did you see him catch it? That's not what he said. He is saying if the guy had caught it then he is fair game. The timing was bad and it made it a cheap shot.
