LB Jaylon Smith fined 26,739 for hit on Alvin Kamara

[TheHerd]

Jaylon led with his head, at head level. Clear penalty, and dangerous for both the tackler and the tacklee. I love the speed and intensity, but Jaylon has to not use his helmet like a spear there.

that's an oddly specific amount

That's probably how many brain cells he lost all at once. That was a wicked high speed hit.

He has to stop doing that...... he will end his career early and get a ton of penalties and fines

It was close to a penalty and could have been called. I seem to remember Alvin ducking down but Jaylon should have been aware. Glad no penalty was called and kamara was uninjured

I think Jaylon had already made the jump, and then Kamara squatted like a little girl. No way, Jaylon could pull back at that point.

I would think that leading with a helmet if deliberate is different that what Jaylon did, almost accidental, although I cringed during the play waiting for the flag and for them to toss him

I agree. Didn't look intentional. Not in his nature.

 

[Screw The Hall]

I hate to see anyone get hurt, but if our defense is now considered a hard hitting bunch, I'm all for it.

Yeah, you’re going to get a few of these when you are bonafide nasty.

Elliot was fined for putting money in the Salvation Army bucket. Not just putting Dak in, having a camera man hand him the money. Didn’t a saints player put money in the bucket. Any fine for that? Pulled it out of his sock.

I agree. Didn't look intentional. Not in his nature.

He looked like he wanted to hit with the chest and or shoulder and wrap him. How are these guys supposed to come up and tackle. Your head naturally comes down some. When he hits qb then Jaylon runs into them with his shoulder. He got a award from the NFL for a hit on sheli. Didn’t wrap up just ran into him.

That's like $26.47 for the rest of us.. Let's start an online Go Fund.. I'll donate for that hit. lol

Jaylon rocked Kamara. It was a tone setting hit for the rest of the game. Apparently, it was also an illegal hit, but what are you going to do, that's the NFL today.

 

[JoeKing]

The WR that scored their only TD was open because he pushed off. I bet the NY officiating office didn't review that either.

 

[Hadenough]

Jaylon dove to make the tackle! maybe the league wants him to dive feet first next time!

 

[nightrain]

Rather he get the fine and the team not get the penalty. That would have been a rough spot for a 15 yarder

 

[Corso]

Should a just picked him up and stuffed him in a Kettle. That would only have been like 15K.............

I think you need me.
Well... "need" may be too strong of a word.
I think you NEED me!

Big smile? I brushed my teeth...

 

[Dirty_Whiteboy]

Any fine for yanking Dak's facemask non-call?

Since when do people get fined for a facemask?

OR, seeing that you are already on the internet, you could take 30 seconds to inform yourself instead making ridiculously wild untrue statements. But I guess that would be asking too much of a person on the internet...

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

It was a penalty. Jaylon need to stop LAUNCHING himself at players especially leading with helmet.

I agree. We don't want him ending up like Ryan Shazier, especially with all that it took for Jaylon to get to this point. I'm all for big hits, but being careful with the helmet is a key bit of it, isn't it?

 

[CF74]

Pay it for him

 

[Little Jr]

I'm 45 and to me that was football. With that said, it is a rule and the hit checked off every box of the rule.
