Arceneaux got rocked.

That wasn't the only time, Loffler knocked the hell out of receivers throughout his career, but he was only penalized for clean body shots in later years as he was never a head-hunter.  BA was flagged a few times for doing the same but adjusted his game to avoid getting penalized for using excessive force. Body can't take those impacts, each one caused a concussion whether head is hit or not.

I couldn't find a video where he hit Begelton, but this one seemed like a close comparable. Loffler was a stud in his prime and made some hellacious hits in blue and gold.

Thanks for posting that clip, some of my favourite players from that era, it's crazy but I have fonder memories of the pre-Zach era when they were still in chase mode.

I was never sure what Loffler was supposed to do. It was a violent hit and the receiver was still looking up. That's different than the hit this week.

Wheatfall essentially caught the ball and was tucking it away when he was hit violently on the upper body. There was a slightly longer ( 1/2 second ? ) time than on the Loffler hit.

Again, what is the DB supposed to do, allow the receiver to complete tucking the ball?  If the defender is another 1/2 second or 1 step away it's a completed pass. We some something similar when Mitchell made some receptions and then got hit recently.

I'm all for protecting the players and don't know what exactly can be done to eliminate fast and hard hits.
