Was far from a thug hit, he was timming the hit to go with ball being caught, happens lots of time in the year, once he or the player sees the hit insight they drop head and that cause them to lose site of the ball, what was wrong was that he went high to the head area and was thrown out because of both benches clearing and the stripes had to show they were taking action or game would of been lost to them and they can;t have that, that is why he was up-set, he didnot plan on going down field to take a cheap shot, this is what happens on punt returns, ball kicked high hangs up and players try and time it to make a big hit.
Those who think it was any different have no-clue about fb, was round it all my life with a family who had and does coach in ncaa my whole life. like i said only think that was off in his actions was the hit up high if he will of drilled him below the neck line would of just been a 15 yarder no ejection, and they could of ejected everyone who came onto the field of play that was not involved in the play , like i said this happens lots of time in nfl and ncaa on punts it was a play that player tried to time and was just off the mark it was bang bang, but the high hit is what gave them grounds to run him , would not of been the case if he drilled him below the neckline.
