[QUOTE="donmcdazzle, post: 677241, member: 44093"] You're getting a bit carried away - if it was such an obvious cheap shot then how did Barnes miss it? It was right in front of him in real time. He did swing his arms up to wrap after the initial contact - something you don't see from one image. I actually have no issues with the penalty, but to get all sensitive and start labeling it as a cheap shot and everything is a bit over the top. As an aside, if your initial point of contact is your bicep you'd end up with hematomas after every game. Head on tackles where you are trying to smash someone you definitely want to be hitting shoulder first. [/QUOTE]
