I did watch it. Lockette has a chance to glance at him before getting unloaded on, and had no chance to react and protect himself. Obviously the league also felt it was dirty hit if he got flagged for it, which should tell you something when they err on the side of not throwing a flag, especially when it’s not a star…

Wasn’t a dirty hit? Heath got flagged for an illegal blindside block, it was absolutely a dirty hit.

I don’t know. This sounds like a pretty cut and dried situation. My friend was in a car accident where all the connections in his neck were severed like this. He stood up, and guess what? Of course no one knows anything with 100% certainty, but grammar-trolling in this case is a little excessive.

You should re-create the exact same injury on yourself and then let us know the odds of survival.
