Was the hit on Vernon Davis really that vicious?

He's out with a concussion, and NBC is calling it a vicious hit every chance they get. He hit him in the chest. Come the frick on

It was a very hard hit. So I'd say vicious in that manner. But not outlandish hit that should have a suspension attached to it


I don't think it was a penalty though

One of the most amazing legal hits I've ever seen.

My point is that they use the word vicious to mean dirty/illegal. It was a badass, legal hit

It was very nice.

Sheldon Brown plowing Reggie Bush during the Eagles/Saints playoff game is way up there for me. Brutal.

It was a perfect hit.

A hard hit. Very legal.

Shouldn't have been a penalty. Announcers didn't agree with the call FWIW.

That was unreal. What made it worse was that you could see it coming

The NFL has to realize sometimes you cant prevent concussions.


Fine the people who tend to the grass there. hard fricking grass at Seattle

I am failing to see how he even got a concussion on that play. It was a very hard hit, but his helmet never touched the defenders helmet, nor did his helmet touch/slam on the ground. Weird.

Extreme wiplash can cause concussions. Which looks like what happened to Davis.

I didn't see that play, but I am assuming they threw a flag on it? I hate watching what the NFL has become. Big legal hits have been completely eliminated from the game by making it a judgement call for the refs.

BTW that hit led to an incomplete pass, but a penalty, which went to 3rd down later than a FG try that was blocked and returned for a touchdown.

So, it saved a score.

Guys that are seeing it for the first time, wait until you see it in real-time! It was lighting fast. Defender came out of picture and left everyone speechless.
