He hit helmet to helmet. Period. He keeps his head up and wraps the way he's supposed to and there's no flag there. Bad play going for the big hit instead of the sure tackle.

So even what you are saying is that even if you lead with your hands- not your head - you still can not make contact with the other persons helmet? What?

Besides had he wrapped up and taken hit down it would have been called for "excessive _______" because the game has gone soft.

I thought he hit him in the shoulder. It's hard to tell how high/low you need to go when the receiver's in the air and the ball bounced off his hand.

I understand protecting the player - but I don't think it was a bad play by Howard. It was similar to what Ohrian Johnson just did, except his guy was on the ground.

You lead with a shoulder and wrap. Still get the big hit and no chance of drawing the penalty.
