Harrison Smith is getting
a bad reputation in the NFL. Today a league spokesman confirmed that the NFL
fined Smith $15,750 this week for a horse-collar tackle on Washington Redskins
quarterback Robert Griffin III in last Sunday's 38-26 loss to the Redskins.
This is his second fine of
the season. Smith's first fine came during the pre-season, as he was fined
$21,000 for his helmet-to-helmet hit on San Diego Chargers' wide receiver Mike
Willie. He’s also been ejected from a game once this season from making contact
with a referee in a game against the Tennessee Titans.
Also during training camp
Percy Harvin and Harrison smith got into a sort of “tussle” if you would call
it that. Just wanted to put that out there as well.
Harrison Smith was a first
rounder this year from Notre Dame. He’s helped the Vikings defense a great
deal, but the penalties he’s thrown upon us are costly.
