Not to defend the guy on this particular hit, but isn't attempting to hit somebody with a shoulder always leading with the head? After all, the head sits on top of the shoulders. The thing we will never know is intent. Did the guy intend to hit with his helmet or was he looking to put a 'clean' shoulder hit and at the speed of two NFL players approaching each other, he missed by a few inches (or the other player made a slight adjustment just before the hit) and bam, it's helmet to helmet.

I don't think they are all cut and dried dirty hits. Too many other factors going into it.

I think I saw last night that Robinson got a $40k fine.

I don't think this play is remotely similar to the one he made last year. Maclin had a good three or four steps after the catch to prepare for contact; Jackson had no such luxury last year.

Thing is, everybody - well, almost everybody - somehow dips their head when they make a tackle. I don't see how making a tackle is possible otherwise.
