williams fined for cheap shot on coles.

It looked like helmet to helmet to me, though not as obvious as the helmet to helmet hit RW lay on his teammate Terence Newman right after the play

Newman is way overrated

I remember being at the draft wanting Terrell Suggs, Leftwich, or Kevin Williams over Newman

Newman is a great young player, but definitely not Suggs or Leftwhich.

The only player hurt by one of these "life threatening" hits was Darrell Jackson. That hit wasn't even helmet to helmet. They only threw the flag because he didn't get up. I don't care about players who miss 2 plays because they're shaken up, that's football.

All of you who think that they are outlawed to protect against injury are correct. However, this year more players are out because of injury, at this point in the season, than in any other year the NFL has been existence. Those stats include when they were AFL and NFL when Jack Tatum and Deacon Jones were doing all of the things that we consider illegal today and more plays are hurt in this era when these hits aren't allowed.

You just totally made the point for outlawing the hits. Better job than any of us on the earlier posts. With all the injuries occurring now because of the MUCH MUCH larger, stronger, faster players, and the rules passed in recent years outlawing the most vicious and dangerous hits, just imagine how many they would be carting of the field with career ending injuries if they had NOT passed these rules!!!!! Good proof, jdlea!!

DEFINITIVE PROOF there was no helmet to helmet contact from a new and best angle of the hit:

True..Woodson too

Arrington has had his pocket picked a few times too

And then the hypocrisy is how the NFL takes the "fine" hits and sells them on Crunch Course and etc

hixon's son got in a helmet to helmet, last i heard, he was still in a coma, though it looks like he's gonna pull through now.
