Definitely needs to be a suspension. Absolutely no reason to hit him in the helmet, and it wasn't close to instantaneous, not even close to a textbook tackle either.
in slow mo it doesn't look instantaneous, but it's a fast game.... and i'm pretty sure james harrison doesn't have to use textbook form to tackle 210 pound colt mccoy
I hate Texas and Colt McCoy worse...go steelershttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDvi5vGsY90
I hate the Steelers. James Harrison can go to hell.
thats all.
Which is exactly why it's a bad hit. He could have pushed him with one arm and tackled him. No need to head butt him at full speed.
you're taught to lead with the forehead or temple, and that's exactly what he did..
i just get frustrated when people see a big hit and start screaming foul.. ITS FOOTBALL PEOPLE! it's attitude's like this that are ruining the game
yes.
because bruising of the brain.
tearing of blood vessels.
and permanent nerve damange because some jackass decides to lead with his helmet.
thats all part of football.
you guys are ridiculous and need to do some reading on concussion injuries.
I got a concussion in high school and I turned out just fine... that's part of playing the game.. play at your own risk sheesh
so most of those hits are clean.
what does that have to do with Harrison hitting McCoy after he released the ball with the crown of his helmet and not with his pads?
Mendehall took a worse helmet to helmet shot at the goal line. Luckily, the NFL doesn't care about a RB's "safety".
I don't blame Harrison for not changing his ways. The rule is so convoluted & inconsistent. You get flagged & fined for clean hits; you get flagged & fined for dirty hits; so you might as well just hit the mofo.
