Re: Whitner Could Face Suspension?
He won't I am not worried. He didn't body slam him or go for his head or punch him etc.

Re: Whitner Could Face Suspension?
There's no way. Wilson will get suspended. Whitner will not. A late hit shouldnt be a death setence unless its to a qb.I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
"Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

Re: Whitner Could Face Suspension?
It was definitely uncalled for, but it wasn't a dirty hit where he intended to harm him or anything.

Re: Whitner Could Face Suspension?
It was not intented to hurt the guy, just to send a message.
Late hits are considered Unnecessary Roughness, which was called on the field as a penalty and should be left on the field.Comment

Re: Whitner Could Face Suspension?
I could understand if he like ripped him down by the horse collar or bodyslammed him.
Not this.

Re: Whitner Could Face Suspension?
He shouldn't have done it, but it reallly wasn't a hard hit at all. He barely pulled him down. A suspension would be a huge over-reaction.Comment

Re: Whitner Could Face Suspension?
From a fans, players and coaches perspective I think this hit was appropriate. From a league perspective though it's retaliatory and would be appropriate to send a message with a suspension. Sad, but true.Comment

Re: Whitner Could Face Suspension?
You can also say that punching someone in the face during a game is "sending a message"
Its the wrong message.
But having said that, no way in hell whitner is getting suspended.. Thats ridiculousComment

I would not be surprised if he got suspended for a game. The dude was 5 yards into the end zone and "vulnerable." If he does, though, it's one game tops.Comment
