Rookie LB Jon Bostic Fined?

By Joseph Zalewski 

Rookie Jon Bostic is making a huge impact and a great start to his NFL career. From his pick 6 vs Carolina in week 1 of the preseason or from his monster hit in week 2 of the preseason. It is clear he is making an early impact and making a clear case to be the week one starter. But was his hit illegal, that is the question raised today when Bostic was fined 21,000 by the NFL. In the picture below the highlighted area is where Bostic made contact and you can clearly see it was near the chest area and should not be fined. This is the official rule that Bostic got fined on Rule 12, Section 2, Article 7 (b) (2), it is prohibited to lower the head and make "forcible contact" so according to that rule Bostic should be fined. But in today's NFL Defensive players are always at fault its almost to the point where they can not even touch these Offensive players. 

Here's the Video you be the judge should this hit be a fine I say according to the rule yes it should be a fine but, I strongly disagree with the rule so I say In today's NFL that's the cleanest hit you will see he should not have been fined Bear Down Bostic.
