I don’t buy it. His toe gets caught on our players knee right when he runs into another of our players. You can see him hopping to try to avoid putting his weight down.

Yeah, when I first looked at these videos, I thought that Harrison should be blamed for stepping on CEH, because Harrison seemed to have raised his leg just high enough to pretend that he didn't see realize CEH's knee was in the way. In particular, if I'm trying to avoid hitting something, I will look at that object while I'm stepping over it. Robinson wasn't doing that, so it seemed like he was trying to get a cheap shot in. However, after looking at the videos a few more times, I now see that what happened was that CEH had rotated his body just after Harrison committed to stepping over him, and so CEH's rotation caused his knee to block Harrison's foot, which happened at the same time that Harrison was impeded by another Chief that was trying to get in position to help CEH up.
At the very least, I now doubt that Harrison was deliberately stepping on CEH, where before I was pretty inclined to think he was.
