| DE Al Wallace fined for Simms hit
Carolina defensive end Al Wallace has been fined $7,500 for a fourth-quarter hit on Bucs QB Chris Simms. It's unknown whether or not this was the hit that caused Simms spleen to rupture, but according to the league, it was excessive nonetheless. According to an AP report, the NFL claim that Wallace "violated a rule that says players cannot 'unnecessarily or violently throw a (quarterback) down and land on top of him with all the defender's weight.'" I didn't see the hit - was the Wallace hit a cheap shot? |
