Falcons CB Dunta Robinson Flagged For Another Big Hit Against Eagles

Falcons cornerback Dunta Robinson, whose hit on Philadelphia wide receiver DeSean Jackson last season left both players with concussions, has drawn another unnecessary roughness penalty for a big hit on an Eagles receiver. Robinson drew the 15-yard penalty with 6:12 remaining in the third quarter after leading with his helmet on a hit to Jeremy Maclin in Sunday night's game, which the Falcons won, 35-31. "He's 2-for-2 now," Maclin said after the game. "Fortunately it wasn't as bad as Jackson was last year. I guess we'll see what (commissioner) Roger Goodell does."

Can't lead with your helment on a hit. I'll be shocked if Dunta Robinson isn't fined here.

 

He should be fined big time and suspended.

 

My thoughts exactly.

 

If he appeals the fine this time, good luck with the appeal with being a repeat offender.

 

Agree.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if it was a full 50,000 fine.

 

I said the same thing in another thread. He got the original down from $50K to $25K. Now for the second offense, Goofdell might try to stick it to him.
