Yeah, not only was it helmet to helmet, if anyone was observant enough, it was the SAME Giant who Samuel creamed about 10 minutes earlier. It was the new receiver, number 85! It was obvious the guy was humiliated getting twapped by Samuel, falling like a pile of bricks right on his face, while Asante just leisurely took a stroll laughing to himself.
It was the most obvious case of "Oh, screw this. I'm gonna get even right here... bam!" by a player I've ever seen. Did nobody else notice this? Number 85 was searching out a helmet to helmet on that play to save face. Well, he got one alright.
And Collinsworth said it just happened by chance. No it didn't. It was intentional. He lowered his helmet down lower than usual to make sure he met Hobbes helmet.
And it did go in like a turtle. Looked like possible neck vertebrae compression. That's way dangerous, no only for the 4 that are up there, but the nerves running through them. Thank God Hobbes appeared to have movement in all extremities.

I understand your anger but helmet to helmet is in the rules that situation. If a runner has the ball you can hit him in the helmet, just think of how many helmet to helmet calls there would be against running backs if that wasn't allowed.
The rules are a horribly written though, it's funny how if your a QB or a WR trying to make a catch you can barely get touched but if your a running back its like the league doesn't give a **** about you.
Ok.. First things first. If you watch the replay, it was #71 who hit Hobbs Helmet to Helmet, from the front. The NFL.com replay clearly shows that #85 MISSED Hobbs almost entirely.
That being said, I don't see why #71 had to lower his helmet. He's a reserve DE and easily has 50lbs on Hobbs.. He could have wrapped Hobbs up easily without lowering his helmet. He should be fined for that play..
He should be fined, but this will really open up a pandoras box. If they starting fining for helmet to helmet hits on ball carriers (RBs) we'll see the first 300 yard rushing game the next week
