K-Ro 25

NFL Network and ESPN both reported this. I dont agree with the suspension b/c he did not have any intent to hurt him but it was stupid so he deserves whatever the consequences are. At least this scrub wont see the field for us against cincy.

He led with his helmet. If Harrison did this, he'd be out 3 games, fined 100k.

Yes, very fair point.

The fine seems good to me, the suspension is the idiot tax on top of the fine. And I imagine alot of people will think twice about helmet hits from now on.

Now, how much are the Jets going to be fined for wearing those Christ awful uniforms?

I dont think there is a total expensive enough for subjecting anyone to these Notre Dame Irish, St Louis Rams hybrid uni's. The frickin mustard pants are ridiculous.

Memories of Eugene Wilson flattening the Colts WRs back in the 2003 playoffs, but the difference is Harrison/Wayne weren't sandwiched between two defenders.

Smith looked to lead with his head and the other defender, instead of using his hands to make a play in front of Boldin threw his shoulder into Boldin in mid air. Glad Boldin isn't hurt seriously but it is so hard to judge the excessive recklessness unless they lead with the helmet or go below the knees.

I would be quite upset if there were no suspensions for the Boldin hit(s). He got hit in the head by the crown of the helmet from both players - the most dangerous way to get hit. This right after the league sent out the memo regarding increased need for player safety.

So stupid that it cost him one-sixth of his salary for the year ($50K + 1/17th of his salary of $445K).

Rhodes was the player who hit him from behind on the play, Rhodes hit Boldin more in his lower back region. I have no issue with the suspension, it was a dumb play.

edit: Rhodes hit him near his shoulders with a shoulder to his back which is perfectly legal and clean, it just so happens that the timing was terrible b/c it gave Boldin momentum towards Smith.

Thank God Anquan wasn't hurt more seriously than he is. The way he fell made me sick in the pit of my stomach. Even though I doubt Smith meant to hit him like that, it is a just punishment. That said, I still hate the Sherriff more than anyone else in this situation.
