erynthered Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 Dante Wesley Ejected After Hit On Clifton Smith. He's going to get fined and maybe suspended for that hit. He came off his feet and nailed Smith on a fair catch!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwfFxr0zI-A

He came off his feet and nailed Smith on a fair catch!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwfFxr0zI-A If he doesn't get suspended then there are really no consequences for one's actions in the NFL. Fines are meaningless because they don't have an impact on the team's play, and therefore the coaches could care less. Coaches will continue to allow this sort of stuff until suspensions become the norm.

His sole intention was to injure and that is incredibly obvious.
pBills Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 I like how he was pissed that he even got a penalty. Stupid thug.

erynthered Posted October 19, 2009 Author Posted October 19, 2009 "This video has been removed due to terms of use violation"....thats was quick Yes it was. Try this one. I just tried it. http://ballhype.com/video/dante-wesley-jac...y-hit-panthers/
Beerball Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 Yes it was. Try this one. I just tried it. http://ballhype.com/video/dante-wesley-jac...y-hit-panthers/ Minimum 3 games. That's as blatant as I've ever seen.
erynthered Posted October 19, 2009 Author Posted October 19, 2009 Minimum 3 games. That's as blatant as I've ever seen. I agree, 3 game minimum.That walking around acting as if he didnt do anything wrong was pathetic. I havent heard anything on Smith here locally yet.

Let him stock shelves at the supermarket or deliver mail for an entire year, to give him enough time to think about why he would lay out a guy on a fair catch, and to make other guys really think twice.
BillsGuyInMalta Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 Jesus...I had heard about that play but I just now happened to watch the video. Guy should be out at least 3 games, that was absolutely blatant.
MarkAF43 Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 No doubt he should be suspended, but i didn't see where he called for a fair catch, it was early and dangerous, but the articles and the video i read stated he didn't call for one.... I could be wrong though
Flbillsfan#1 Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 I agree, 3 game minimum.That walking around acting as if he didnt do anything wrong was pathetic. I havent heard anything on Smith here locally yet. They said after it happened during the game, he suffered a concussion.

I could be wrong though You may be right on the fair catch. Just looked around at some different articles. Some say he did some say he didnt. Still an illegal hit though.
billsfreak Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 I saw that play during the games when they showed it, it was brutal. Even more of a potential for injury than a receiver going up for a ball, this guy signaled a fair catch, and assumed he didn't have to worry about getting hit at all.
shrader Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 You may be right on the fair catch. Just looked around at some different articles. Some say he did some say he didnt. Still an illegal hit though. It was just a slip up by the refs. They had to deal with a potential brawl on the field and slipped on the details when it was finally time to announce the call. Fair catch or not, you have to let the guy catch the ball, so it's still the same penalty either way.

JoeFerguson Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 I sometimes wonder how these guys have enough brain power to tie their shoes. What a retarded move.
Pete Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 Dude should be banned for a year. There is no room for that chicken **** in the NFL! Dirty scumbag of a play
Skunkpost Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 I wonder how his (Wesley's) teammates would even try to stick up for him after that.... that guy should have been buried into the turf by 10 Bucs.
