There isn't any ignorance? You sure haven't proven it. All you have done is make up ludicrous excuses for why Meriweather's hit was legal. Unfortunately for you, I proved how it broke 2 different rules. One of which has been on the books for at least 13 seasons.
There was no accidental misjudgement on Meriweather's part. Also, a player can jar the ball lose without launching himself at a defenseless receiver. It's called actually aiming for the ball, which was not up by Heap's head.
Meriweather could have, very easily, planted himself and hit Heap without leaving his feet.
Someone who claims to be so smart should be able to figure it out for himself. Oh, and neither of the angles presented in that video show that Robinson's helmet didn't actually make contact with Jackson's.
NFL Videos: Playbook: Legal hits?
Robinson neither led with his helmet nor launched himself.
Jim Leonhard's hit was also legal and should not have been penalized.
In the first photo, Brandon stops his lateral momentum to begin his new decision to go for the hit...
In the second photo, Brandon begins his "launch", head up arms coming out...
In this third photo, moments before impact and Brandon's head is still NOT down and it looks likely to hit Heap in the chest...
Mere miliseconds later at the point of impact, Brandon lowered his head bracing for impact, while Heap's body not only came down but fell forward putting his head at a position that Brandon never judged it to be...
Physics and 3D Geometry say that had Meriweather not left his feet, then Heap wouldn't have gotten hit in the head. Then it would be a non-issue.
The result is a very violent whiplash causing collision. Anyone who thinks it was a glancing blow is out of their mind. The crown of Brandon's helmet hits the front of Heap's and snaps his neck violently backwards. Very ugly collision, but not egregious, malicious or with intent from Brandon Meriweather.
Do you understand the word egregious? It means shockingly bad. And it was. Meriweather launched himself at a defenseless receiver and hit him in the head, helmet to helmet. Plain and simple. That's a flag and a fine.
If you do it consistently, it should be a suspension. I have no issue with that either.
When Rodney Harrison comes out and says that Meriweather went high when he didn't have to, you know there is an issue. Heck, Meriweather said he was aiming high. Not the head, but still high and that he needed to lower the point where he was aiming for.
