FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — New York Jets defensive linemen Muhammad Wilkerson and Quinton Coples are appealing their fines by the NFL for their hits on Tennessee's Jake Locker.
"The league felt like it was a personal foul or an inappropriate hit," Coples said. "But one thing about it is that it's up for debate,Alvin Kamara Jersey, so I'm going to appeal it, and go forward from here."
Locker, however, said he didn't think the hits were intentional, and neither player should be fined.
"I was going to appeal, regardless," Wilkerson said Thursday. "It didn't matter the amount. If it was $5,Air Max G��nstig Online Kaufen Schweiz,000, I still would've appealed. I don't think it was a dirty hit. I don't think I should've gotten fined."
Locker was hit by both Wilkerson and Coples in the third quarter of Tennessee's 38-13 win Sunday after he threw a pass. Locker was carted off the field and expected to miss a few weeks with a sprained right hip and knee.
"I personally don't think it was a dirty hit," Wilkerson said. "He said it, so ..."
Titans safety Michael Griffin said Wednesday that he was fined $21,000 by the league for his hit on Jets receiver Stephen Hill, who suffered a concussion. Griffin said he appealed the fine as soon as he received it. Hill's status for New York's game at Atlanta on Monday night was uncertain.
"I just play hard, physical football like I'm supposed to and how I was brought up and taught,Stitched Arizona Cardinals Jerseys," Wilkerson said. "I'm going to continue to do that and play ball the way I know how to play ball."
Wilkerson was docked $15,NFL Jerseys China,785 for roughing the passer,Cheap Jerseys From China, while Coples was fined $7,875 for unnecessary roughness. Both were surprised at the fines, especially since no penalties were called on the field.
