I'm not going to go back and read every post. The ones that I did read seem to focus on where VB hit the receiver, how far from the line of scrimmage it was, etc, none of which is relevant to the new rule. Based on the videos I've seen, it appears the hit was legal under the old rules, illegal under the new rules.  Since the actions on the video are pretty much indisputable, if everyone else is right and it's just me that's wrong, the league will have no choice but to reverse the penalty, and I will happily stand corrected.
