Like when the Panthers crushed Thornton.You don't accomplish that with blind side hits. You only get the other team more motivated to be physical and nasty.
Why did he play in the preseason game after this? He should've been expelled for the entire week after the coaches saw the bird's eye film following practice. This type of stuff has to be eliminated from the game and cannot be tolerated.
I dont condone the hit, but I do commend psychical play just over the line.You don't accomplish that with blind side hits. You only get the other team more motivated to be physical and nasty.

You're right, they basically triple-teamed him and set him up to get killed.It appears that two other guys got in front of him and caught his focus, and Robinson snuck in from the side unnoticed.
it's not easy to find it, it's blurry and happens fast. Wilkerson is looking away from the camera, and Robinson comes in from the right side, goes helmet to helmet to the back of KW's head, then exults over him.Maybe I'm missing it, but it doesn't look that bad from this angle. Guys are trying to take him down, he is trying to stay up, someone else comes in and hits him, and not particularly viciously. It looks like...football.
And from this angle and distance it is really hard to say much else honestly. If the uniforms were reversed I'd likely be shrugging and asking for more angles, audio, etc. I'm not saying it's nothing, but I'm saying this video is super hard to interpret.
Unless I'm looking at the wrong part of the film or something.
EDIT: I was looking at the wrong part of the film. Sorry. It's still hard for me to make out what exactly happened, but now I'm seeing the actual bit a little better.
You can see the hit here that concussed Wilkerson. Completely blindside, helmet-to-helmet, intentionally malicious, and afterwards Robinson stomps over Wilkerson's body. No wonder the Pats players (including Slater of all people) went after him. This is bad.
Yes this is where I got confused in my commentary that I had to edit after the fact.Why is Barstool talking about 3 players? I don't see Wilkerson engaging with 3 players at all. If I back up frame by frame from where Robinson is doing his moron-dance, I see Robinson hitting him one-on-one from behind. Nasty hit for sure, but not 3 players.
I see someone at the bottom of the screen getting triple-teamed but that was not Wilkerson.
