James Harrison suspended (merged discussions)
Does he finally get suspended for that hit last night.Or is it just another fine since it would not be beneficial for the steelers

Re: James Harrison
He should be suspended (cause fines clearly aren't getting through) but I be he just gets a fine, probably 50 -75k

Re: James Harrison
I'm thinking he gets suspended. Stupid play by him and he has a history of it.

Re: James Harrison
Way to "gal up" Steelgal, You called it - one game based on being a repeat offender. He'll appeal, but if the Commissioner's Office wants to retain any credibility on player safety, they'll hold the line.
I hope they do - for obvious competitive reasons (I hope he sits vs. SF - y'all are getting mighty thin @ LB) and because that type of deliberate danger is not good for the game. Harrison is a baller and is playing while hurting, and I get that guys like him, Ray Lewis, and many others are being asked to change how they've played the game for years, which is hard. But Harrison is not even trying to adjust and being too vocal about it. Sit he will.

Re: James Harrison
Suspended....can't let that goon keep it up. He just doesn't get it. WR are one thing, gooning the opposing QB something else.

Re: James Harrison
The thing that is so bad is however you want to slice it, it was a BAD hit. He lowered his head, led with his head, left his feet, had no intention of using his shoulder. It is the textbook definition of a helmet to helmet hit and what the league does not want.

Re: James Harrison
If the league doesn't suspend him then favoritism has reached new levels.

Re: James Harrison
I don't think it was very bad really. McCoy was scrambling towards him and if McCoy hadn't ducked his own head, there wouldn't have been helmet to helmet contact. You guys are all forgetting the defenseless part of the equation. Then again, the league is a pansy league now. The hit almost backfired though bringing in Wallace.

Re: James Harrison
McCoy had taken 2-3 steps AFTER throwing the ball when Harrison hit him (defenseless rule) AND he hit him high on the helmet (helmet to helmet rule).
Even back in the day, that would have drawn a penalty.
And is ever so slightly lowering your head to brace for a hit is considered ducking then I have a bridge that crosses the Chesapeake I'd like to see you.

Re: James Harrison
Are you kidding me? It was textbook helmet to helmet. Form tackling means lowering your shoulder into the gut of the player. This was just plain leading with the helmet... something that he does all the time. He should be suspended. Actually, in addition to the suspension, he should be warned that he's coming close to being thrown out of the league. There's no place for this at all.
Here's the hit.
