Whitner helmet hit legal
NFL: Saints' Thomas not defenseless, Whitner helmet hit legal
Whitner was not penalized because the tackle was not against a defenseless player. Helmet-to-helmet hits are banned against defenseless players in eight categories, and a runner is not one of those categories. Thomas was considered a runner because he had made a catch, turned and made a "football move" before being hit.
