The old "hit them so hard you separate the ball from the WR" isn't legal anymore. There is no way a defender can "blow-up" a WR, until they become a runner, so players have to stop ***** doing it or they will get penalized and fined. It does not have to involve the helmet/head of either player in anyway.
So how hard are you allowed to hit them? I dont understand. Why did the Bengals not get this same call earlier? Did he hit Boyd softer? Who measures how hard you hit someone?
