Broncos livid over Nalen's $25K fine


The Denver Broncos are screaming mad after the NFL weighed in on an altercation between Broncos center Tom Nalen and Chargers DT Igor Olshansky.

FOXSports.com has learned that the league fined Nalen a whopping $25,000 for going down after Olshansky below the knees on a simple spike play in the waning minutes of Sunday night's game. Olshansky, who retaliated with a punch and was ejected from the game, was fined less than half that -- $10,000. Even though Nalen's fine was much more significant than Olshansky's, Nalen's action drew no flag.
Denver officials are furious with the fine and it's expected that Nalen will appeal such a move. After Olshansky was kicked out of the game his head coach Marty Schottenheimer was seen lambasting the young defensive lineman for the infraction.

well I understand why he was mad, but if it was a concern he still shouldn't have been playin.

Now I agree with Nails getting fined, I think it should have been an even fine for both, not so 1 sided.

Now I am not condoning what Nails did, and I am not saying its right...although it is legal. But the whistle hadn't blown yet so Igor shouldn't have just stood up and been so vulnerable, if his knees not right. What if it was a fake spike...not that it was but you just never know, and last time I checked it is a contact sport.

youre putting too much emphasis on the fact that igor has a bum knee....it doesnt matter who it was, they wouldve blown up. you could only take so much, fact is that your o-line uses these tactis week in and week out....as far as him just standing there being vulnerable....both lines were all standing around. the ball had already been spiked regardless of a whistle or not i think everyone on that field knew they were gonna kill the clock....trust me, if the roles were reversed you would have an entire different take on this

yeah cause atlanta has denver old O-line coach but man that shit just plain dirty going after the knees

agreed. id prefer a more traditional big oline anyways. notice how atlanta and denver have serious pass blocking issues? these olinemen in this scheme are undersized low round draft picks. guys with size dont work well in this system. bleh.
