    Default PFT: Niles Paul Fined $20K for Hit on Pettis

    This infuriates me. The receiver has every opportunity to not get hit. He can raise his hand and say "Don't hit me."

    When you insist on trying to return it, you're gonna get cold-cocked! It wasn't even helmet-to-helmet!!!

    Wow that's absurd, there shouldn't even have been a flag throw. Since when is shoulder to helmet illegal?

    Not calling for a fair catch is going to become a strategy now. Take the hit and get an instant 15 yards, which is better than what you'll get on most returns anyway.

    I am in shock. How can you be considered defenseless when you can call for a fair catch?!?

    Though I do think it's excessive, especially given that Niles doesn't make too much as it is.

    Heck of a high fine for something so asinine. Even worse that it comes out of a rooks pay cheque.

    Well, I guess our guys will learn to hit low now if this happens again.

    Hail.

    I knew the fine on this hit was coming the minute after it happen on Sunday. The NFL is pretty serious about the helmet-to-helmet right now and guys are going to have to be careful. Since he is a rookie it would be nice if the Redskins would step up and cover him on this. Don't know if they are allowed to, but maybe the players union can help.

    Paul got fined and Paul probably deserved to be fined given how unnecessarily high he went up. So long as no one else who smacked the ever-loving hell out Pettis in that game gets a fine it seems pretty fair.

    Honestly, the best possible outcome of that play for Pettis, the league, and especially us is for Paul to try to get his hat on the ball and force the fumble.

    Thats terrible especially since he was only due to make 375K this year before taxes.

    That's not leading with the helmet though.
