As I stated several times now, I'm asking because I don't see the difference between that hit and the Wilfork hit!!!! The Colt player was being pushed down and so was Wilfork but Wilfork was fined, is he going to be to? Is that clear enough for you or shall I type it again?
Two differences. The main one is that elbow by Wilfork, whether intentional or to brace his fall, that caught Losman in the knee. Johnson's hit was a tackle trying to wrap up. Second, Johnson was basically flat to the ground already and tackled a moving quarterback in the only way he could grab him.
If Wilfork had not extended his elbow I don't think people would have even question if it could have been dirty. Johnson did nothing that was questionable. It is not like he dove at the dude's knees. He reached out and Garrard's ankle rolled under him as he was tackled.
