Two hits according to the Youtube below:

YouTube - Jared Allen's Two Low Hits on Matt Schaub: Dirty Plays?

Edit, makeup calls for Tom Brady?

i cant believe he was fined for the hit. i mean, people are going full speed at eachother for 60 minutes, and he has one hit a little late and he is fined. How can the nfl expect players to always have a cool head. I understand fining players for real bad plays, but that wasnt that bad

This is a pretty obvious attempt to cover up a call that should not have been made.

I can't spell the head refs name but the guy who come on and explains why the refs made

the call they did is a joke.

If that was 7500 then I owe 10000 for the tantrum and explatives after the call.

No seriously. My behavior was worse than Dave's Hit.

Check is in the mail.

So why wasn't Pollard fined?? I think the consistency is poor at best...and that is the trouble..NONE..all at the whim of an out of control, unaccountable disctator. THAt is what is really bad..NO accountability..rhyme reason..

thank you bill polian.

this might be the biggest embarrassment in history of league rulings. he pushed the guy down!

they're taught to play to the whistle...sometimes that creates late contact. The flag was fine. I'm ok with it. But don't think for a second anyone on that coaching staff is going to point any fingers at him. It was just a bad break for us. the fine is indefensible.

first off, the guy has a totally clean record and no other history whatsoever. he's a model player. let's keep the fines to hits that potentially threaten careers and player safety -- not for pushing a guy down in the trenches a second after the whistle....that should merely draw a flag and -- in this case -- that flag helped the other team win the game....apparently that's not enough for Mr. Polian.

He's got to turn his psychotic hatred of this team into a personal vendetta against Dave for playing the game the exact same way he wants his players to.

Especially if you watch the entire Brady hit. The guy was done, got up and aimed right for the leg.

If Thomas' hit was worth a fine, the Brady hit was most certainly worth one.

I never even read this post until it was quoted by somebody else - then I realized we both termed it 'pussified'.

I still can't think of a better word for it without offending the homosexual community.

Watching Jared Allen get fined for that and seeing Pollard get absolutely nothing pisses me the **** off. What the hell is wrong with this league? So damn inconsistant. And give me a damn break, the dude cost his team the game. You're going to fine a FOOTBALL player for knocking the crap out of someone? It sure was a late hit, but dirty? Give me a damn break. How you justify fining that is ridiculous.

I understand Allen being fined, he attempted two dangerous attacks on the QB. But why was Pollard not fined a penny? How in the hell does the commish think that hit by Thomas was worth a fine? He didn't hurt the player, it wasn't an injury attempt, nothing. Absolutely pathetic by the league.
