Cromartie Should Be Suspended for the Season

What a blatant cheap shot against Lefty. That kind of shot on a QB deserves the longest suspension ever from Goodell. If he cares about player safety.

Dont beat the drum partner...it will only serve the evil Goodells purposes.

if James Harrison had done it there would be a suspension forthcoming.

however, Cromartie is definitely going to get fined...

Harrison woulda been suspended for life.

Had the potential to be a Clark-McGahee type of collision. Except Leftwich is nearly twice as big as DRC, plus he saw him coming.

Lefty will get the suspension for spearing Cromartie's elbow with his helmet

Rodgers-Cromartie will soon be hearing from the league

Posted by Mike Florio on August 9, 2012

During the first quarter of Thursday night’s game between the Steelers and Eagles, Philadelphia cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie launched at Steelers quarterback Byron Leftwich, hitting Leftwich in the head after Leftwich had thrown the ball.

Rodgers-Cromartie correctly was flagged for unnecessary roughness.

He soon will correctly be fined.

The launching made the outcome more flagrant than the run-of-the-mill helmet-to-helmet hit on defenseless players. In fact, it could have justified an ejection.

If the league is serious about removing such dangerous blows from the game, it arguably merits a one-game suspension.
