NUance Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Hate to see Niles get tagged with a $20k fine like that. But that hit was a little bit helmety. Quote Link to comment

Landlord Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Illegal hit, you get fined. Hopefully he learns. Quote Link to comment
HuskerCarter Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Yea, he led with his helmet, but he did lower it some to aim for his chest. He does deserve to be fined, but $20k sounds a little steep for that hit. Quote Link to comment
irafreak Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Too bad...he gets down a bit lower and he timed it perfect. Always feel bad for punt returners. Just standing their like deer in the healights unable to move until that ball touches them... Quote Link to comment
GBRsal Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 side of the helmet. looked like a good play to me Quote Link to comment
General Blackshirt Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 There may have been contact, but it didn't look to me like he was intentionally leading with his helmet. Shouldn't have been a fine. Quote Link to comment
