NEW YORK – Robinson Dunt will pay for his flagrant attack on Jeremy Macklin. It will not be suspended, however.
NFL fined $ 40,000 Atlanta area hit on Monday in which he led with his helmet and hit a receiver in Philadelphia during the third quarter, the Falcons 35-31 victory over the Eagles on Sunday night. Robinson was penalized 15 yards for roughing.

In a letter to Robinson, NFL vice president of football operations, Merton Hanks said that the “future crimes will lead to an escalation of sanctions up to and including suspension.”
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell was informed of the decision and said: “We thought it appropriate discipline.”
When asked, he was an example of the NFL is trying to hit out of the game, Goodell said: “There is no such thing as a perfect example there are some elements of each impact, we try to determine the methods that make our game .. safer. ”
Robinson said the league had violated Rule 12, Section 2, Article 9 () (2) rules, which states: “. It is a fault if a player starts unnecessary contact with a player who is in a defenseless position ”
The rules stated that players in a defenseless position, including “an attempt to catch pass receiver,. Or who have completed the catch and had no time to defend themselves or not clear was the runner ”
The game with 6:12 left in the third quarter, the league said Robinson looked down and made contact with violent head and neck of McLean, which is still to catch. He was in no hurry to leave the field, but returned to the game.
Robinson may refer to the former NFL coach Art Shell and Ted Cottrell, who paid for the league and the NFL Players Association to address these cases. Their appeal will be heard next Tuesday, the second opinion of the discipline.
Replays clearly showed Robinson leading with his helmet, something the league has been adamant about the elimination. NFL also banned this year for players to run into an opponent helpless.
Falcons coach Mike Smith said after the game that he believed that legal hit, and “how we teach it.”
“My opinion has changed,” he said Monday before the NFL made its decision.
