It's not right in either situation. That play had disaster written all over it. Trent got a slight concussion and the DL was complaining of knee pain.
Trent does not seem like the type of player that would intentionally hurt someone but.....
1. Trent DID intend to go low to take on a larger player
2. Trent ACTED on those intentions and hit the guy in the knees
3. The other guy did not see the hit coming
= Cheapshot!
Trent's INTENTIONS were clear. It just didn't work out in his favor.
If you are going to blindside someone then at least keep it high. You already have an advantage since they don't see it coming. That alone would neutralize any height/weight advantage.
