If you're already trying to go low to avoid hitting a guy high, and then he goes lower after you've already committed to the hit, what are you supposed to do? It's too late to stop.

Penalty, yes. I don't know how you get a 3 game suspension for it, though. Sure seems like they're making it impossible to play defense.

from the article


Quote:Runyan also noted that Perryman has six such violations in his career, including in Week 2 against the Colts, for which he received a fine for violating the same rule.

"When players violate the rules intended to protect player safety on a repeated basis, and particularly when the violations carry with them a significant risk of injury to an opposing player, it is appropriate to impose substantially greater penalties," Runyan wrote in his letter.


granted, Perryman will appeal and the suspension is likely to be dropped to 1 or 2 games
 

 Fueled by the pursuit of greatness.
