Mr. T Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Cleveland Browns' Kamerion Wimbley fined $7500 for roughing By Mary Kay Cabot November 04, 2009, 12:41PM JOSHUA GUNTER / THE PLAIN DEALERBrowns linebacker Kamerion Wimbley says he was fined by the NFL for a hit on Bears quarterback Jay Cutler.BEREA, Ohio -- Browns linebacker Kamerion Wimbley said today that he was fined $7,500 by the NFL for a roughing the passer penalty last Sunday against Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler. Wimbley's agent, Joe Linta, said he will appeal the fine. Wimbley said he had a fine reduced earlier in his career after appealing. Wimbley made helmet-to-helmet contact with Cutler, knocking him down and forcing an incompletion to rookie receiver Johnny Knox. He was flagged 15 yards, which moved the Bears to their own 46. Eight plays later, running back Matt Forter scored on a 1-yard run. Wimbley said the official told him he got a little too high on the hit, with his helmet striking the front of Cutler's. Wimbley is the third Browns player to be fined for roughing this season, joining Corey Williams ($7,500) and David Bowens ($5,000).

steel88 Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 They are ruining the NFL with these fines, why dont they just put a skirt on the quarterbacks. This just means kamerion needs to hit the QB harder and make it worth every penny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. T Posted November 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Who remembers 1986? We had Mack & Byner both had over 1,000 yards rushing that season. But the most important stat was that every game we won we knocked the opposing teams QB out of the game that year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the most important stat was that every game we won we knocked the opposing teams QB out of the game that year. Remember the Gastineau shot Kosar took in the playoff game that year? LOL, the Turkey Jones spike of Bradshaw probably would have gotten him suspended for a year now, at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spunkonmyback DPOY Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Welcome to the National Flag Football League. There's no chance his fine is appealed. He should be happy he only got fined $7,500. Incidental contact with the qb's helmet is usually $7,500, Inentional/major contonect is normally $15,000 and helemt-to-helmet usually is an automatic $25,000. Although, Goodell is never consistant and it saved Wimbley a few grand this time. Another plus for Wimbley is Goodell actually told him what he is getting fined for. Woodley once got fined $15,000 for a hit Goodell deemed too "intiminating" on the qb. Although, Woodley wasn't flagged for anything that game and no single play jumped out as the one that drew the fine. When Cambell (The qb he hit) was asked about what play think got Woodley the fine he said Woodley was just as intiminating as every other guy who sacks him. Woodley, Wimbley or whoever can tackle an 80 year old lady in the street and their fine and lawsuit for medical expenses won't total the fines Goodell gives them for doing their job.

ClevelandFanForLife Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 i'm just glad to see him hitting the quarterback at all. this year he has been pretty solid and hopefully it continues for years to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hx214 Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 I'd still rather see him make the hit then try to hold up and not make a tackle because he is afraid of being fined. If I'm the Browns I write Kam a $7500 dollar check and put it in an early Christmas card, and say keep em coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calfoxwc Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 I'd rather see him bend his waist a bit and hit him lower and break his ribs maybe. There is no excuse for the helmet to chin hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Lambert was right when he said "just put a skirt on 'em" [QB's] I don't want him getting in the habit of letting up, either. Ten years ago that was good football. Cutler's a prick. Nobody's going to hold up on that guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no excuse for the helmet to chin hit. Yeah, I thought that was a pretty surprising play. Kam know the rules, and there are obviously better ways to put the hurt on a QB. Rob Ryan obviously has some issues with Cutler, but I doubt he was telling them to cause a concussion-- this team is too uptight about penalties for that.
