Doesn't look like a head shot to me, but I could easily being seeing it wrong.  His head was involved but it looks to me like Kenny made sure he got to the correct spot so that it wasn't an illegal hit.  Was it flagged?

I agree with this. Is there another angle? The original videos didn't work for me.

Even the standing over him, I wish I knew what was said, I'm assuming he said something which was that pause. When played at full speed, he stood there for just a moment like words were said. It was brief though. I wouldn't call it "standing over him" necessarily.

Remember in our first preseason game, one of the Commanders defensive linemen (Young, I think; might have been Sweat) pulled up when he had an easy shot at Mayfield.

We do not receive the same courtesy from the pats in preseason.  They've injured 2 our QB's in a preseason game.

I see a hit that is completely unnecessary in practice.   Especially in a joint practice that has been marred by fighting.

It doesn't appear to be anything blatantly cheap.  From the video, it's impossible to tell if it was even illegal.   Maybe there was head/head contact?  It's too shitty of a video to see.

 

Anybody calling for him to be cut from this clip is over-reacting.

Of course it was a head shot. He KO's him. That's an illegal hit in a game too.

I didn't see your slow motion clip.  He hit him in the head for sure.   At the same time, Wilkerson is facing him.   He didn't hit him from the back or side or anything.  He went high.  It's a 15 yard penalty in a game, maybe they toss him because the opponent was KO'd out?

Yea... the dude's running straight and to the right... to me it looks like he gets decked straight on..      image.png.4e77cc965ec76a5db05d78a45ad21322.png

He's looking behind him. In the slomo it gets blurrier but now that you know where to look watch reg speed. You can see he's looking back and you can see Kenny target him. Everybody else sees it except you and coffee.

Where he is looking is irrelevant.  His body is facing and running towards Robinson.  If it was any lower, it would've been in the numbers and completely clean.

The only thing that makes this a penalty,  is it's a helmet shot.        

Still not a hit that should happen in a practice though even if it would've been legal.

Was definitely the reason Ferentz took the late hit penalty against him during the game

And when so many people in the league have friends and old teammates around the league, it doesn't take long for vengeance to get out of hand. Or, for an even accidental incident to look like intended malice.

Dirty players are never worth the price.

I'm gonna be honest... I dont see the dirty hit. Maybe I was expecting so much more based on the tweets coming out you'd have thought he singled him out and came in from across the field like a heat seeking missile and decapitated him away from the play then pissed on his body after.

Now again, only one of those videos load for me so if I'm missing context through other angles thats on me but here's what I see. 

Kick and play is heading to the right. Robinson is on the right of the field - this isnt outside of the play like he ran across the field and sought the WR out. Best I can see it looks like Robinson isn't even moving when he makes the block and leads with head/shoulder area (I can't tell which makes the contact and you're lying if you say you can see either definitely) and he drops him immediately.

It doesn't look like a blindside hit to me, why would Wilkerson be running/looking left when the ball/play is clearly going right? 

Wilkerson crumples and Robinson does the stomp celebration. Doesn't even look down at him far as I can tell. Looks like your normal big hit celebration to fire up the team. Make the argument its practice if you want but they're wearing pads in a ST drill. 

I would assume the fact he is still on the roster would lend some credence to the fact that Scott and Rhule don't think it was as egregious either.

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Then don't tune in. It's really not a hard concept to understand, if your making your decision based on your own personal needs/feelings as opposed to what is best for the future of the franchise, then it's a you problem, not a Panthers problem. When the season is already lost, every fan should be rooting for the same thing.  The team plays hard until the final whistle of the season and keeps improving as a team and individually, but in the end, we still come up short and lose games, and preferably because the other team beat us, not because we screwed up and found a way to lose due to our own fault. Look at it this way... If we are up 1 or 2 points with 3 seconds left in the game and the other team is lining up for a FG.  Beyond the joy of victory or the disappointment of defeat, what impact does the other team making or missing the FG have on our team the following season? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING Except where we draft and what teams we play due to our finish in the division. The players and coaches on the team would have the exact same level of improvement and learnings about themselves individually and as a team whether the FG is made or missed.  The ONLY difference in the end is the record in the standings and if the win or loss number changes. If you want to argue if making the playoffs to lose in the first round or just missing them is better or worse, that's totally fair and I can at least understand the other side of it.  But in what is already a lost season, if you're not hoping your team plays well but ends up losing, then you're cutting off your nose to spite your face.  You're hoping for a moment of happiness at the detriment of the franchise's future, and in turn, you're basically then happy for a moment to only set yourself up for future further disappointment.

      If we’re eliminated I want the wins more.   The season is already a disappointment and if I’m not pulling for wins why bother to tune in?

      Two things terribly wrong with this post. First is that not one time has myself or anyone else agreeing with me said that the team themselves should think that way or try and lose for positioning.  Never once have I suggested the team should purposefully lose games, ever.  I honestly can't understand why people keep saying this in posts, not one fan has ever said the players should or would purposefully try to lose. And second, is yes, that has happened and it's happened very recently.  The 2020 Bengals were 4-11-1 and then were playing in the SB the very next season.   And while it might have been 2 years later and they didn't quite get to the SB, the 2021 Lions were 3-13-1 and then the 2023 Lions were up 24-7 at halftime of the NFC Championship game. The season between those two? They finished 9-8 and only just missed the playoffs. Which is why I keep trying to compare us to the Lions in where we are at in our re-build.  Throw out Bryce's rookie year with the Reich staff who just didn't work out and he looked god awful.   This past season when we were 5-12 in Canales' 1st season is that 2021 season for the Lions and their 1st season under Campbell.  This year is their 2022 where they grew a ton and Campbell's culture building was clear, where I'm saying we'd likely be better off in the long run if we go 8-9 or 9-8 and just miss out on the playoffs (which is still a significant improvement from last year).  Then our 2026 is their 2024 when we have a chance to be a real contender after adding a few more pieces and our key players having another year of experience under their belts.
