Penalty or not? Bengals P Huber out for year

Wow that is so close to going either way.

I expect Goodell will probably fine him anyway. It was borderline unnecessary. The dude is the freaking punter.

Its also so close to that other rule about peel back blocks.

I'm with this, that's my take on it. My reaction isn't even worrying whether it's a legal hit or not, my reaction is, uh, WHY? You can easily take him out the play without sending him to the freaking hospital for a week. Garvin must be a real tough guy -- ooooh he decked a freaking defenseless punter. I mean if you view these types of one-on-one football things philosophically, as man vs. man, a test of physicality, like gladiators or wrestling or rugby blah blah blah, well that hit certainly didn't prove anything about Garvin.

I agree. He could just as well have shoved him with two hands and the effect on the play would be the same.
