Merrill asked Walt Coleman about this exact situation a few months ago.

Robinson's hit was illegal.

[Munson]

lol okay...go watch the broadcast team watch the replay and call it a clean hit.

Helmet-to-helmet...no
Hitting defenseless receiver? yeah...but if it were an Eagle delivering that hit no one here would be standing up calling it dirty

Robinson's hit was illegal.

I'm not arguing that it wasn't a penalty...by the new NFL rules, it is.
But it's not dirty. It's a clean hit.

[PhillyGirl]

The broadcast team was wrong. I heard it too. SINCE the game, since a gazillion replays have been shown, its been unanimously stated to be dirty.

It was an illegal hit.

[Munson]

A penalty? yes. He hit a defenseless receiver.

Dirty? No.

[Drunkmasterflex]

That hit was bad no matter how u slice it 

[Munson]

Definitely brutal. The first thing I thought of when I saw it was Brown destroying Reggie Bush. One of those hits that makes you cringe.

Vai says not dirty. He didn't even think it was illegal, though, but the NFL rulebook says otherwise.


Edit-After youtubing the bush hit, they're almost exactly the same hit. The only difference is Brown gets his head and shoulder into Bush's ribs, and not the shoulder/chest like Robinson did to Pimp

[Hawk]

Munson is excited that our best player looked like he was killed today?

The hit was farging dirty... and there was no need for him to lead with his helmet?

farg the Falcons

[Munson]

Yes, I am thrilled that he got killed today.

Talk about homerism. The hit wasn't dirty. It sucked that it happened to Pimp, but stop crying that it was dirty. It wasn't.

So when the fine is announced, I guess it still isn't dirty?

[Munson]

As someone else has said here...Dawk's been fined for much less.

Yes laying out a defenseless receiver isn't dirty...

[Munson]

It's how football is played. You have an opportunity to make a hit on somebody, you make it. He got him with his shoulder pads and unfortunately the top of his helmet. Had he kept his head up and got him with his facemask/forehead the hit would have been just as vicious.

He didn't aim for his head, he didn't try to go helmet to helmet for give him a forearm shiver to the head. He just hit him square on.

It was just farging vicious and, according to the NFL rules on defenseless receivers, illegal. But it wasn't dirty. That's the type of hit we loved from Dawkins, and Waters, and etc etc etc

Yes, but given the massive amount of attention given towards concussions in the last few years, and their lingers effects, and their link to alzheimers, suicide, depression etc.... there's no need for this type of hit...

Hence... both illegal and dirty.  It's a new NFL

[PhillyPhreak54]

Munson, you're the only person who believes the hit was clean.

Again, I present the Rodney Harrison evidence. When he says its dirty and needs to be policed, its dirty.
