Again BS(to the NFL) , if Lee was paying attention he would have seen tate.

that's how i feel, he clearly did not "launch himself" because both of his feet were on the ground when he made contact (i believe this concept is known as bracing yourself). he clearly went low, aiming for the torso - not the head - and not too low, below the waist. his helmet grazed lee's facemask on the way up from lee's torso.

if that's the way they're calling it, go ahead and fine trent richardson for his hit on kurt coleman... bs indeed

Looked to me like the impact was facemask to chest.

And smh calling the block a "crackback". The block was directly straight ahead, the Seahawk player ran alongside the Cowgirl, making contact, while crossing the field over 10 yards. How did the cowgirl FORGET the blocker was there?

I think any head injury to the cowgirl is his head bouncing off the turf.
