What can he be fined for?
Really. If you can look at it objectively instead of as a Bengal fan, then what can he be fined for? That looked to me like very poorly executed stiff arm attempts. Even if you don't fully agree, at minimum an unbiased view can only say it is unclear which it is. No fine.
Now if you want to use what happened here as a basis to support a view I've had for a long time I am with you. Stiff arm above the shoulders should be illegal. Other than the obvious reason demonstrated in that play, it is also a safety concern. But safety concerns only matter in the NFL when the offense can benefit with the exception of a runner leading with his head in and even then only in certain situations. Hey, #defensiveplayersafetymatters?
But that isn't what you are talking about, is it?
