...I also see that you conveniently avoided bold font for this section....
...even if the initial contact is lower than the player’s neck, and regardless of whether the defensive player also uses his arms to tackle the defenselessplayer by encircling or grasping him.
Is that because it completely contradicts your view that it was a legal hit?
The defender also launched himself...and also a guy with multiple fines the last couple years for dirty plays. I bet you cannot find a similar hit on film that didn’t draw a flag.
He didn't hit him in the head or neck. You can launch all you want as long as you don't lead with your helmet.
The initial contact part is if the defender ends up hitting the head or neck area; It doesn't matter than the initial contact point is below the neck, if they end up making contact there, foul.
