What does the rule say?
The rule book defines a defenceless player as a number of things. One of them is a receiver who hasn't got into stride and had the chance to defend himself. The rules state you can't hit that player from the neck or above however, you can hit him anywhere below that.
If mayo had just tackled the way you're supposed to, then it wouldn't be being discussed.
