I think I've probably seen the hit on NFL Films stuff, but I just don't recall it right now.

In reality I don't think it would be classified as cheap, but it was more so where the hit took place. Stingley was fully extended, Tatum hit him just above the shoulder blade with a forearm, and we didn't see him move afterward. Since he was hit from behind, he never saw it coming.

I've seen the hit.

The big thing was that it was an uncatchable ball, during a preseason game. It was solid and legal. It may draw a fine in todays NFL, but it wasent a "dirty" hit. We cheer Taylor every week for the same type of stuff. Just really one of those unforunate parts of football.

RIP
