Look, I'm not saying he was intending to kick him in the face, I don't think that. It was just dumb. I don't think he's dirty, I'm just saying he's lucky he wasn't ejected. I don't think there will be a suspension, or should there be. But I do think he can expect a fine around $25,000.
Rod Woodson was returning punts when he was arguably the best CB in the game....
I want my best playmakers with their hands on the ball as often as possible.
It truly was glorious. We spent at least 10 minutes rewinding it over and over including all the network's replays. It was totally worth the 15 yards. I think it was a my favorite play since Stonio's SB catch. I've been trying to come up with one that I enjoyed more since '08 and I can't right now. It was just awesome.
And forty years before that, the best players played both sides of the ball. When Woodson played they just instituted the salary cap. Its simply math. You are risking one of your best players for an extra how many yards of punt return average? Still waiting. Top five receivers that return punts. And don't even bring up Welker. He is like Ward (who i think the world of as a player) but he is a scrappler. Brown is a thoroughbred. You don't have your Kentucky Derby horse pull a plow.

I can't believe anyone is questioning ABs intent. So what? This harkened back to the glory days, you know, back when this team actually had some attitude. Ward knocks gold teeth out of a player's mouth, AB makes a spectacular move. Frankly, I would have liked to see AB's foot go through the player's head. About damn time we had some ******* attitude and emotion on this team!! Hell yeah. Enough ***** ball.
You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to nooneuno again.
I would imagine that Russell Wilson and RGIII are the most elusive players on their team. How about them?????
Can they field punts? Just being elusive is not enough

Russell Wilson more elusive than Percy Harvin? RG more elusive than Desean Jackson or Pierre Garcon? Your attempted point is stupid. You don't take a pro bowl returner out of the role because he might get hurt. You'd have to take him out of the game completely for that. He's more likely to get hurt during normal offensive snaps (the 50-60 or so he's see's per game) than the 3-4 he's gonna see as a punt returner.

No, AB most certainly did NOT jump in the air with the intention to kick the Clowns punter in the face. He jumped and attempted to hurdle him.
However, once in the air, and said punter raised up to make the TD saving tackle, AB clearly and deliberately kicked him in the face. And yes, I believe to either act as a stiff arm move and/or to prevent serious injury to himself.
It was a bang-bang play and he made a split second decision. I don't believe any malice was intended or that he was trying to stick his cleat directly on his face to injure him.
But he absolutely extended his leg and foot in a kicking motion.
He will not be suspended, a fine is coming, and the flag was appropriate.
