Dante Wesley hit, good hit or cheap shot?

[KillerKat]

Fair catch or not, you still have to give the returner a chance to catch the ball! This isn't something new, it's a rule that's been around for a long time.

[DemBirdsTheyBeDirty]

Double post... somehow.

[Phil Dees]

Because he was fair game. You dont call Fair catch you leave your self open for the big hit. Thats Pop Warner.

Would be nice if you knew the rules

[Davidson Deac II]

Why do people keep saying a fair catch wasn't called? No wonder Panther fans are considered among the most ignorant.

Whether it was called or not is irrelevant. Even if its not called, you still have to wait till the ball is caught.

People who say a certain fan base is more ignorant than another are generally not the brightest light on the tree.

Besides, everyone knows Cowboy fans are the most ignorant.

I don't think people understand the fair catch rule. Calling a fair catch only means you can't be tackled after you catch the ball. The returner can't be tackled before the ball gets to him either way.

Man I wish rep was on...

The dude never called Fair catch. Bad timing in Westleys part but still a clean hit. This is the thing where if a QB slides and your in the air can you pull up.

Calling for a fair catch on this play is completely irrelevant. Explain how that was even remotely a clean hit.

[Speed]

Shameful. It will be the highlights of our game on the news.

[beastson]

Well, I know who the idiots are now.

Doesn't matter if fair catch was called, the ball wasn't there, it's interference AND it was malicious because he launched himself at a defenseless player. Jesus Christ, some of you are stupid.

Stop crying like a lil girl and stfu

It wasn't even ya team who got hit

But yall next... take that take that

[Jangler]

He launched himself into a defenseless player, and the ball was not there, so this was a cheap shot and he should be and will be fined. Probably the only way he will be suspended is if Fox does it.

[1BucDeal]

normally, it would've been a 15 yard penalty, end of discussion.

but since Clifton Smith hammed it up and pretended he was dead for 5 minutes until he hopped up and skipped off the field, Dante will probably be suspended.

Clifton Smith was taken to the hospital. I'm sure part of the reason he walked off is so there wouldn't be a fan riot.

as i said in the chat. I think It was not a clean hit but i think the ejection was a bad call. He didnt lead with his helmet, it was just bad timing. if the ball was in his hands when it happened it wouldnt have been an issue. or at least that is the way i saw it. i was glad to see the guy get up though and was pissed that it happened. i just dont like the ejection for that. i dont think you should get ejected for making a bad football decision. I think you should get ejected fo punching guys or spitting on people. or stomping faces and poo. not hitting someone at the wrong time.

Wesley continued fighting after the play and punched another player while the ref was looking at him. He deserved to be ejected.

Hmmm... I don't get that take, I would have ejected him for the hit too... I can come up with no reason whatsoever for that hit. You can't hit the returner before he catches the ball period. I have no clue what he was thinking. I'm still waiting for someone to even speculate what he was thinking.
