Florio has always lived in Steelers country and he practiced law in Pittsburgh. He almost always quotes the rule book in articles like this. 

Btw, I was the commenter who mentioned the Shawn Williams hit on Wheaton (that was flagged) vs the Shazier hit on Gio (that wasn't). Wheaton took 3 steps before the hit. Of course, they probably deleted the comment.

I emailed florio@profootballtalk with my reasoned complaint. I'll let you all know if I get any reply, though I suspect it will either be automated or come from some intern.

I did not know that he practiced law or I would have said something about that in the email as well.  I was a lawyer in Ohio before I moved to AZ and when I was reading all I could think was that if a lawyer made that argument in court and the crown of the helmet rule was the applicable law, he would be laughed at by the judge.  He doesn't even cite the applicable rule and he applies it incorrectly on top of it.  Case would be dismissed in a flash.
