Doesn't really even look like a kick. And more importantly, if Ngata gets four games for that, Meriweather's getting three lifetime bans.

I didn't see the hour but all I need to hear us concussion and Merryweather, was it between the the tackles it was it a dirty hit. My thing with Ngata is come on man you have been in the league how long now you should no better and know there is a camera on you at all times. The reason I went four games is such got what 8 and Haynseworth a year and this was no were close to be on their level. Make me wonder about Ben's nose a little more though. Before tonight I wrote it off as a freak accident and still believe that it was but now this does raise suspicions à bit

Ngata Said He Didn’t Kick Redskin, He ‘Nudged’ Him

Ravens defensive tackle Haloti Ngataicon-article-link.gif was questioned by reporters after Saturday’s game about a play where he appeared to kick Redskins offensive lineman Shaun Lauvao. Ngata admitted that he did retaliate against Lauvao after the Redskin crushed teammate Dominique Franksicon-article-link.gif late on the play, but Ngata said he didn’t “kick” Lauvao. He said he “nudged” him.

"When I saw Lauvao do that, I kind of was just pissed that he was doing that and just nudged him," Ngata told reporters after the game. "Kind of a heat-of-the-moment thing. That was the only thing. I was just trying to protect my player.

"No disrespect to Shawn because we know each other. It was the heat of the moment, and just was mad that he tried a late hit."

Lauvao also told reporters after the game that he wasn’t even aware of the nudge from Ngata.

Ngata was not penalized for the play, but after seeing the Vine video, several analysts – including Hensley, The Baltimore Sun’s Aaron Wilson andCSNBaltimore.com’s Bo Smolka – all believe Ngata will be hearing from the league office and could be fined.

However, the severity of the fine (if there is one at all) could depend on the camera angles available to the league.

“Haloti Ngata might be hearing from the league office this week,” wrote Smolka. “According to the NFL's schedule of fines for this season, a first offense for kicking is $8,268.”

And a nudge?
