Fine.... Label kickers non-football players and make them run off the field after they punt. I doubt Garvin even knew he was the punter... Saw an opposing player and just nailed him.

yep

Y! SPORTS

I think he should have been fined for the area he hit him, not this defenseless player crap
Maybe punters should wear a different color jersey so players know not to him them.
pink perhaps

Horrific.
Hope the guy recovers.

I foresee a rule change. Not sure how they will do it but something like a slight costume identifier for punters/kickers. But, but these guys have gotta know it is a jungle out there and what can occur.

Look who's the big bully when the punter isn't looking.... SMH

It looks almost identical to the hit we put on Kurt Warner in 2009. That was a legal hit...right?

Yeah it looks like it, except for the fact that the Warner hit was lower in the midsection, angled more from the side -- this hit is full-on frontal direct at his shoulders/neck, the guy hits him like ten times harder than McCray, and the punter is like 20 pounds lighter than Warner...otherwise they are identical hits I suppose
