Ravens TE Todd Heap Won't Call Helmet-To-Helmet Hit Dirty

The play was cringe-worthy material, but Ravens tight end Todd Heap said he would reserve judgment on whether the helmet-to-helmet blow delivered by New England Patriots safety Brandon Meriweather was a cheap shot. "I really don't have a lot of thoughts about it right now," Heap said after the team's 23-20 overtime loss Sunday at Gillette Stadium. "I haven't seen it yet. I really didn't see him coming or see what happened. So I'll probably have more or better thoughts about it after I see it." On second-and-7 from the Ravens' 23-yard line in the second quarter, Heap couldn't hang onto a pass over the middle from quarterback Joe Flacco. But that's when Meriweather's helmet crashed into Heap's. The result was a 15-yard penalty on Meriweather and a few minutes on the sideline with what was described as a shoulder sprain for Heap. "I was hurting for a little bit, but I felt good enough to come back in," he said. "Took a little time to figure out that everything was fine, and then came back in."

Mike Pereira (SP?) did come out and call it dirty, I was really surprised that Merriweather wasn't ejected - for all their hot air about concussions the league's actions speak louder than their BS words. If they were as serious as they'd like Joe Public to think they are about concussion prevention then H2Hs would be an auto-eject.
