Drive through and your head goes across his body. You blast the shit out of him and you likely still separate him from the ball without going helmet to helmet.
But as he was delivering the hit, he launched himself up into JJSS and that's why he got into his helmet.
It's an issue where different technique takes an accident off the table. Think of it like a goalie stopping a deflected shot in hockey. Those guys don't see the deflection and react to it, it's WAY too fast. But if they stay square to the shooter, keep the stick on the ice and do all that other goalie shit in a technically correct way, their body is going to naturally be in a position to stop the shot.
Here Cisco's technique wasn't sound and because of it he drove up and through JJSS's helmet. Was it 'intentional' - I mean, hitting him in the helmet wasn't, no. But was driving up and making it a foregone conclusion a volitional act? Hell yes it was. He was the direct cause of an avoidable injury.
That's a dirty play, IMO.

100% agree with you - don't understand how anyone could argue otherwise.
