Really? It was a Chuck Cecil kinda hit? I left for work by that time of the game. I guess I should check the tape.

Not exactly, he wasn't in full missile mode. But he was right around the shoulder/chest area, head down and arms not up. He wanted to deliver a shot as I am sure he has been asked to do. His problem was that as a reaction to the (impending) contact, Bennett's head dipped down and he got a good shot helmet to helmet. Not crushing, but solid.

It looks run of the mill at full speed from the sideline camera and you don't fully see helmet to helmet until you slow it down or take a look from another angle. But the flag and penalty were predictable once they showed it.

If you are going to hit a receiver who does not have possession of the ball, you have to change the target and drill him in the abdomen or nads. Or, as a former offensive line coach of mine used to say: "Block him in the pecker! He's not going anywhere without his pecker!"
