Penalty or not? Bengals P Huber out for year

He was not penalized for helmet to helmet, or how hard he hit him. In the rules a punter is considered a defenseless player <full stop>... Yep, even when he is trying to tackle and you cant hit him above the pads.

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.

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
