Show me Dunta launching, or the NFL saying that he launched. I'll wait.

Did you not watch the video or read the article? You're more ignorant than I first thought!

Not once did Dunta leave both his feet while making either tackle. Do you want me to draw you a picture?

NFL deemed the hits Dunta was fined for "illegal" Who cares if they were "launching"...

And 2 players were knocked out of the game against the Saints; Favre who already had a hurt ankle prior to the game and came back a series later...

And Kurt Warner, who tried to tackle a defender who intercepted the ball and McCray blocked him...

That's the only 2 from the playoffs in '09 to this year, what's your point?

You guys seem to care, because I keep being told he was launching, even though anyone who knows what launching is and has functional vision knows that he didn't.

The game? I'm talking about from 09 through 11.

That's the only 2 players we knocked out from '09 to now, you need to read and comprehend full posts...

So you're telling me that those are the only two players from 2009 to 2011 who went down with an injury while playing against the NO defense. I don't even need to do the research to know that's bogus.

Well, we've already shown you the video.

Here are articles from CBS Sports and ESPN referencing launching

NFL fines Dunta Robinson $40K for Maclin hit - CBSSports.com
NFL fines Dunta Robinson of Atlanta Falcons $40K for hit on Jeremy Maclin - ESPN

Here's an article from the LA times in which Hall of Fame Safety Ronny Lott said he was bothered by the way Robinson used the top of his helmet.

Sam Farmer on the NFL: Atlanta's Dunta Robinson takes a hit to the wallet - Los Angeles Times

In this article D. Orlando Ledbetter, long time Falcons beat writer, described the hit this way.

"With 6:12 left in the third quarter of Sunday night's game, Robinson leveled Maclin by lowering his head and leading with his helmet. Robinson also launched with both feet when leaving the ground."

Atlanta Falcons team report: Dunta Robinson fined $40K - NFL - Sporting News

Not only did he say "launched" he specifically said "with both feet when leaving the ground"

Here's a USA Today poll that shows 59% of respondents thought the $40k fine was not enough and that Robinson should have been suspended as well.

Vote: After seeking 'kill shot' was fine to Falcons' Robinson warranted?

That's just the mainstream press. Many of the bloggers were much harsher.

Hope that helps.
