I see the video completely differently than you. I am also not directing any ire at you, who I respect as a poster, (or anyone with a contrary view except perhaps those who insist they must be right or are trashing the player needlessly).
I sort of disagree. If the league determines the hit was unintentional, there is still a decent chance Weidman receives supplemental discipline. Wideman is ultimately responsible for being in control of his own body and officials have to be protected.
