If we rationalize the hit by saying he only had 1/100th of a second to decide how/where to hit him, you could excuse just about every yellow flag ever thrown. Roughing the passer, helmet-to-helmet hits, tackling out of bounds, etc. most everything in football is decided in less than a second.
To me, the guy looked like he was trying to close line Ferguson. He could have easily gotten a nice bodyshot in there but instead clothes-lined him. If you have an opportunity for a body shot you take it - it's the best means to ensure the guy goes down. That he chose to tackle Ferguson in the way he did says to me it was intentional.
Ferguson could've been killed or paralyzed and the league needs to send a signal. I just hope some TE or RB knocks him out.
