It is by rule a PF to hit the long snapper because the mechanics of the play make him unprotected and VERY susceptible to injury - it is a safety rule. Avoiding it is really basic Special Teams. And the tape shows Adomitis getting nailed.
And they knew it was a penalty:
Titans two-time All-Pro Kevin Byard said it looked like two teammates hit the snapper. Strong said he was "totally shocked" to learn he was flagged, knowing defenders can't line up on the snapper or hit him in the head.
"Once he hikes the ball and has his head up, you can come through," Strong said. "I was just trying to get in the A gap. I wasn't intentionally trying to hit him in the head. I made a mistake, and I take that one and put it on me. I just have to do better for my team."
