Agreed - especially in preseason, if you're a starting QB ... you don't make that type of contact. And, the only reason that Harrison would be walking a fine line is because he said Orton essentially disrespected him earlier, he didn't like it and that hit is what he had coming to him.
So, you could easily read that he was intending to do something to Orton the whole time and he was just waiting for his opportunity. Again - I don't think it was a bad hit, but players just need to watch what they say and how they say it.
