If they started suspending players for these hits, instead of just fining them, these hits would stop pretty quick. I know sometimes they just fall into the qb and players can't help it, but in this instance (and others) a suspension would speak alot louder than a small fine

Agree, that should be a suspension.  There was no "benefit of doubt" about it.

 

But...at least it was put in front of the league that the refs missed it and agreed that it was a foul and merited a fine.  So that's better than nothing.

Yep. 

 

Would cost those players more. Just saw this fine update at the end of the other Anderson cheapshot thread...

The question being are they fining him for the late hit that was called or the late hit to the legs that was missed?

Pittance schmittance, they busted him! That’s what’s important. It reinforces Gregggg’s methodology, sends a message to all teams about these current Jets and puts this loser on League notice.

Thankfully, Josh wasn’t injured. It exposed the jests as the bush League team EVERYONE believes they are.

Fines are stupid in the NFL.  Make it really hurt; suspend them a game, or a half, or whatever.  Keep them off the field (and thus lose pay) because of their actions.

Based on the Upstate New York article, the fine is for the chest bump, not the low hit to the knee.

Looking at the fines I noticed Tyrel Dodson was fined $174k.

 

Is this in ADDITION to the weekly checks he will miss? If so he wont even touch 6 figures this year after taxes. 

 

Hope he learned his lesson. If you can't handle your drinks, just stay sober.

Went beyond a cheap shot as he went way out of his way to hit Allen in the knees well after he threw the ball.

However for him there is no guarantee he will be on roster to pay the fine and I doubt he got enough in training camp to pay it.

Two fines in his career and he’s a scumbag?

 

Two fines don't make him a scumbag, but being a scumbag got him two fines.
