Jared Allen's hit ends Lance Louis' season - NFC North Blog - ESPN
Ross Tucker was talking about this hit this morning on Sirius and made, what I thought, were two good points:

1) suspension/fines have to be based on intent/action, not on what the opponent's condition is, because a legal hit can often have be just as damaging- he expressed it more clearly

2) Jared Allen may not really have ever had the new rules clearly explained - certainly they wouldn't have drilled the new rules in, simply because his position group rarely deals with that specific style occurrence. How many times do defensive lines practice INT return drills?
