If he felt he had the legal right to hit the guy and make a play i think the 1 game suspension is fine. Plenty of big hits have been made without being an ordianry tackle. Whether it is legal or not doesnt mean a player is trying to hurt another player. I think people are overreacting. It wasnt that dirty of a hit. It was just an illegal hit. He didnt try and clothesline Smith.
As for going for his head i have to question what video you guys are watching. Nowhere did he bring his arm up to hit Smith in the head. I dont think he was trying to hit Smith helmet to helmet. He just lowered his arm & shoulder into Smith's chest.
An illegal hit yes. Dirty nah. If thats dirty then a lot of past players should be in
prison for assault.
