Several Denver Broncos defenders are angry that the NFL Brett Kern Jerseydidn't suspend Pittsburgh Steelers center Cody Wallace for launching himself helmet-first into safety David Bruton Jr.'s head last weekend.Late in the first quarter Sunday, Antonio Brown was being tackled when Broncos defensive end Malik Jackson hit the wide receiver from the side. Wallace took exception and launched himself into the pile, striking Bruton, who wasn't looking, on the crown of his helmet. The hit sent Bruton to the sideline where he was checked for a concussion.''It was dangerous what I did,'' Wallace told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. ''You can't do stuff like http://www.nfltitansofficialshop.com/AUTHENTIC+BRIAN+ORAKPO+JERSEYthat out there. I fully expected (the fine). It's part of the game.''The standard fine for a http://www.nfltitansofficialshop.com/AUTHENTIC+BRIAN+SCHWENKE+JERSEYhit on a defenseless player is $23,152.''Well, I'm glad he got something. I was worried he was going to get away Scott-free,'' Bruton said Wednesday.His teammates were less diplomatic, suggesting the league was out to get the Broncos - Denver's defense has incurred 22 personal fouls this season and the Broncos have 27 overall - but looks the other way with other teams.Cornerback Aqib Talib was ejected and suspended one game for poking a Colts Austin Seferian-Jenkins Jerseyplayer in the eye earlier this season. He said, ''If I put a guy's life in danger by doing this (eye-poke gesture), and it costs me $350,000, man, that definitely puts somebody's life in danger.''Other Broncos suggested that what Odell Beckham Jr. got suspended for this week pales in comparison to a 300-pound lineman with a running start and spearing an unsuspecting player who had his head down after the play was over.The league suspended http://www.officialbuccaneersnflstore.com/AUTHENTIC+BOBBY+RAINEY+JERSEYBeckham for his conduct against Carolina, when he drew three personal foul penalties, including one for a diving helmet-to-helmet hit on Panthers cornerback Josh Norman. The punishment was upheld on appeal Wednesday.Bruton said Wallace's hit should have also drawn a suspension.''I think so. Because you know there are a lot of linemen out here in the league who clear out piles like that even when their guy's not running,'' Bruton said.''And the fact that he dove, left his feet and had his head down to take me out with my head down, it's just - it's up to the NFL office, but I don't think a fine's enough.''
