Message: [QUOTE="Je$ter, post: 2081540, member: 1810"] Shoulder charge gone wrong? How did it go wrong? I didn't! Hunt drove in with the shoulder, Anasta slipped and his face went straight into Hunt's bicep! Please tell me what exactly is illegal about the shot. [/quote:8s7mzjjo] He. Got. Hit. In. The. Head.[/quote:8s7mzjjo] But Hunt could NOT have done ANYTHING different! There is absolutely nothing that Hunt could have done to prevent it from happening. There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with the way Hunt approached the tackle - end of story.[/quote:8s7mzjjo] But Rocky, that is part and parcel of taking the chance of making a shoulder charge. It comes off perfectly everyone cheers and slaps backs, it comes off bad you could face a stint on the sideline. I have no doubt in my mind Hunt didn't have any intent to smash Anastas nose all over his face, and yes Anasta did trip. But making a shoulder charge takes that risk. Because Anasta tripped it caused Hunt to make contact with the head, albeit accidental, however ANY contact with the head is deemed illegal, therefore resulted in a penalty. Personally I don't think it should be a penalty but rules is rules. Any suspension would be a joke. And could people also get over the Riley Brown tackle? It's legit and part of the game! [/QUOTE]
