Jonthan Vilma wrote on his playe maker mobile blog that after receiving the low hit from Sanchez he wanted to get up and sock him:
"The Sanchez hit was a perfect example of me putting the team before myself. I could have easily gotten up and gone over there and pushed him, or did something to react, and then, I’d get in trouble, get a penalty that would hurt the team. I had no idea he was gonna do it.
"When he did it, I was ready to get up and sock him one, but I restrained myself. I saw the flags come out and I know it’s a long game so I said let’s just take the points and get the victory. He did call me and apologize (Tuesday). I'm not mad. He’s a rookie who didn’t know any better. He said himself he saw six guys coming at him and he didn’t know what to do. He sees (Darren) Sharper running down the sideline and six guys running at him, and I guess that’s just one of those rookie mental errors for him."
John has alluded to this before but this is now the second time that Sanchez has been flagged for a low hit. If you remember he did exactly the same thing week one in Houston. Although it's obviously very dangerous I think that Vilma has it spot on. It is a rookie mistake, I don't believe that it was done with any malice. Your a rookie on the road with the pressure on, you just made a big mistake and you want to minimize the damage that it will cause.
