Looks to me like he's going out of bounds. Why the hit?

The hit was legal. It's unfortunate, but I think the turf monster caused Sam's injury.

No need for the hit...it was a weak hit, a push really, REALLY no need to celebrate like he just cured cancer ether! LOW CLASS

But, he commited and was 4 yards in bounds when he commited.

Legal hit.

His knee buckled to the side... he's done. We don't want an RG3 situation, either. Let him heal and come back at 100%.

Nothing illegal about it. Shoulda beat'em but dont tell their fans that.

Legal.

It really wasn't a hit either. Just kinda followed him out of bounds.

That hit was completely legal. And it kind of seems to me that Sam had an issue with that leg/knee coming into the game. Which is to say that I don't think it was the turf, just an already weakened joint.

Legal. He's inbounds and was being pushed out basically. Just a freak injury.

if what they claim the rule is for when rg3 was hit last week, then no..it wasn't. they said "if the qb is obviously going out, you can't hit him"

if thats true, then no...

thing is, my mind goes "if that's peyton/bree's/rg3, they throw a flag (and they have)"

Exactly what I was talking about earlier..
