Bit Hits vs Healthy Players

[Aria7]

If Duante would have wrapped up instead of launching himself like a missle he would still be playing in this weeks game. So we lose him for several games so he can make one big hit.

Where is the logic when not only can a defensive player lay the opposition out but he can lay himself out at the same time.

The rules have changed now anyway. Complaining about them will do no good. Im not concerned about the 50k fine to a guy who gets paid millions, I am more concerned about his health and his ability to be on the field and help the team.

Without Robinson the team has a more problems than it had before. He might not been the best corner but he was a major upgrade.

Are some of you that interested in seeing huge hits that you want the falcons defense to get fined, penalized AND HURT. Even if the rules were not changed do you really want these guys to risk their lives for your entertainment?

Really?

Your aregument is not sound. You first make contact with your shoulder, then drop your hips then wrap-up. That's text book. Robinson contacted with his shoulder but at that speed that's all he could do. I agree that tackling in the NFL is terrible, but there is no way in the world at that speed Robinson could have ever wrapped up. Granted, he didn't try, but the injury would have happened if he did.
