The Hebert hit. I can't decide what to think of it. That type of tackle happens 20+ times a game except the guy's hand is slightly lower and gets him in the chest - not the neck. So because of that I think the disqualification was harsh. BUT, because it happened right after Lewis KOed an Alouette he was likely trying to hurt (NOT injure, there is a big difference) Cornish. Give him a fine and be done with it. Hebert was also evading an Alouette as he was making the tackle so it is tough to say. Watching it in slow motion makes it worse too. I thought the DQ was ridiculous while at the game as there was no obvious penalty. Now I think it may have been a tad harsh but the refs needed to get control of the game back. Fine him and be done with it.
Sounds like Cornish is going to be ok, hopefully the Alouette will be too

I guess you should watch the replay over and over again. Lewis hit was not cheapshot, the guy was chasing Fuller and Lewis saw an opportunity to make the block. He was not mocking the guy he was celebrating his good block until he realized the guy was hurt. He even watched the trainer trying to help the player then when everything is alright, he even tapped him. If that was a cheapshot, he wouldn't even acknowledge the guy.
As for the Cornish hit, Hebert tackled him in the head and grabbed his helmet and pulled him down. That is not a natural occurence in the CFL and Hebert deserved getting kicked out. You must be the only one that claimed that was not a cheapshot. PBP guy and Duane Forde was claiming it was a cheapshot after tge replay and even suggested he should get suspended for it. This is the CFL though, players hardly gets suspended in this league.
Unless we watched the different game, i have to disagree with you.
