justnzane Posted December 12, 2010 Posted December 12, 2010 ok Kluwe was not defenseless. He was running down the field in pursuit of the return. That is NOT defenseless. Ganther hit the guy well after he started running in pursuit. The whistle had not blown and it was not a block in the back. Was he out of the play? sure. Could he have become a factor in the play if he wasn't blocked? absolutely. The NFL does way too much to protect the players on the field, except forcing them to have better better helmets. The players of the past, minus Chris Collinsworth and any ex-QB, have to shutter at the thought of the excessive nature of penalization and fines for hits that are either unpreventable or because of some new made up BS rule.
