What redeeming circumstances did I miss, other than that he didn't, in fact, blow out anyone's knee?

Honestly, it didn't look malicious at all. It seems to me he was attacking the spot Brady was in when he lunged, and Brady moved back. And that's why I question the call. It's true that you can't hit that area of the body. But it wasn't a "hit". The guy barely made contact as he was moving forward. The refs can't expect a 300 pound man to magically levitate just because Tom Brady wants to throw the ball.
