Vilma's hit on Manning

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; Launched and led with the head on a hit of the QB. Will cost him atleast $25K and it should. Vilma has to be smarter. That was a 14 point swing. Thankfully, it didn't matter....

He didn't "lead with his helmet". "Leading with the helmet" would be lowering the head and hitting with the crown of the helmet. Look at the picture: Vilma did what every coach since Pee Wee league tells you: look at what you are hitting.

no way look for your self...




that is not a helmet lead
his facemask is clearly in his chest

man it's football not golf
I have seen people plant bigger hits in baseball

I will however agree he got his bell rung but that's the name of the game

sorry but I disagree with the call here and no I do not say that simply because he is a saint
