Quote:He had a helmet to helmet hit, that is illegal no matter who it is on. Its stupid that people act like it was a clean block. It wasn't. The coverage on this is nonsense, yes the rule is stupid but that hit is still completely illegal. That steeler player deserved the fine.
 

You are dead wrong.  During a play its not illegal except on a defenseless player.  They are now saying that a punter is defenseless the entire play.  If thats the case, he should punt the ball and run off the field, not try to make the tackle.
