Ejiro Kuale tried to set the recor

TORONTO -- Ejiro Kuale tried to set the record straight Monday. "I am a clean player, I will always play the game clean," the Toronto Argonauts linebacker said. "Its football . . . its a tough game and the officials make whatever decisions they make. All I have to do is deal with it. "There is no fine line. I was taught to play one way and thats how I know to play." Kuale was ejected from Torontos 33-24 home loss to Winnipeg on Saturday for delivering a helmet-to-helmet blow on Blue Bombers quarterback Buck Pierce in the third quarter. The ejection, combined with injuries to defensive backs Lin-J Shell and Evan McCullough and linebacker Anthony Cannon, played a role in the visitors scoring 27 second-half points against a short-handed Argos defence to erase a 17-6 half-time deficit. "I asked him (referee Glen Johnson) what I was getting ejected for and he said because it was helmet-to-helmet contact," an unrepentant Kuale said. "I dont feel it was helmet-to-helmet contact. "I was taught to lead with my shoulder and thats what I did." The CFL is investigating Kuales hit to determine if further sanctions are warranted. The league has attempted to crack down on helmet-to-helmet shots this season, issuing fines over the last two weeks to Saskatchewan safety Craig Butler and Montreal defensive lineman Kitwana Jones for helmet blows. The six-foot-two, 229-pound Kuale said if hes fined, hell appeal. "Im a clean player, I take pride in how I play the game," he said. The CFL is also investigating Winnipeg linebacker Joe Lobendahns hit on Torontos Cleo Lemon on Saturday. Following a 14-yard run by Lemon, Lobendahn finished the play with a hard shot to Lemons head, knocking the quarterbacks helmet flying and forcing him out with a cracked tooth and exposed nerve. No penalty was issued on the play. Tom Higgins, the CFLs director of officiating, said both incidents were vastly different. Pierce was in the act of throwing and therefore was much more vulnerable than Lemon, who upon crossing the line of scrimmage became a ball-carrier. "The referee is responsible for the protection of the quarterback and I thought he made a tough call but a correct call," Higgins said. "This is a passer who was hit late, is in a vulnerable position and not protected because he cant protect himself when hes throwing and the player (Kuale) launched himself and hit high and/or helmet to helmet." However, when Johnson told Argos head coach Jim Barker of the ejection, he said Kuale had been disqualified for intent to injure, an explanation Higgins admits he was uneasy about. "Absolutely I am uncomfortable being put in a position to try to ever read somebody and say what their intent was, Higgins said. "I dont believe it can be done. "It was the act that was penalized, not the intent." Twice the Calgary Stampeders were flagged for late hits against Pierce in their 21-20 win over Winnipeg on July 14 before he was forced out at halftime with a thigh bruise. But Higgins said the CFL isnt going out of its way to protect Pierce, who has battled injuries throughout his career and last year was limited to five starts due to knee and elbow ailments. "We have a responsibility to all quarterbacks . . . theyre afforded the same protection," he said. "I dont believe for a moment someone will protect somebody more." Higgins said while Lobendahns hit remains under review, at worst it was worthy of a roughing penalty. "The differentiation is the moment a quarterback crosses the line of scrimmage and is running, he is now a runner," Higgins said. "Now, there was no penalty on this play but its still working to be reviewed because its tough for officials to make determinations because theres a lot of different officials who come into play because theres someone running down the field. "As he was going down, was there a dip and during the tackle was there helmet-to-helmet? This is one were not really quite sure of, were trying to look into it. But this is rough play, this would never be a disqualification because this is a ball carrier, someone who is being tackled compared to someone who is a passer and is vulnerable." Argos defensive end Ricky Foley was fine with how game officials dealt with Kuales hit. However, he wouldve liked to have seen more consistency in their approach to Lobendahns lick. "I know I shouldnt be talking about it too much, but it was a late hit," Foley said of Kuales blow. "Im not even questioning if he shouldve been ejected or not . . . if thats the way the refs see it, Im OK with that. "If theyre not going to call that, thats fine too. Im just going to say both were kind of helmet-to-helmet so you have to go both ways with them. Thats it, thats all, because then you do leave a grey area for players to think about, Well, what if I do this or if I dont do that? If its going to be clear helmet-to-helmet, then it has to be helmet-to-helmet both ways and if I see someones helmet pop off and him laying on the ground and getting carted off, thats a pretty good indicator it was helmet-to-helmet and probably shouldve been called. "I want my starting quarterback to be there at the end of the game as well. Cleo Lemons helmet popped off and he was out for the rest of the game. Buck Pierce bounced up and played the rest of the game so thats my only point." Kuale was in hot pursuit of Pierce, who threw a 30-yard completion to Terrence Edwards on the play. Kuale said he was already committed to making the hit when Pierce had completed his throwing motion and had no time to let up. "No," Kuale said when asked if his hit was a late one. "When the ball was being released, thats about the time I was in my hitting position and there was no coming out of it. "Once you do your two steps and gather to make a form tackle, its kind of impossible (to stop)." Kuale certainly used his shoulder to hit Pierce. But he also appeared to drop his head slightly before impact, resulting in his helmet striking Pierces facemask and sending him flying backwards. After Saturdays game, Barker admitted Kuale deserved to be penalized on the play but questioned the ejection. Barker said Monday he spoke to both Higgins and Kevin McDonald, the CFLs vice-president of football operations. "He (Kuale) knows he shouldnt have launched on the quarterback," Barker said. "It was a second-and-three play and (Pierce) scrambled. "He had eight scrambles for yardage and the coaches got on the defence about We cant let this guy scramble, and (Pierce) was scrambling. He went after him, not to hurt him but to tackle him. Now, (Kuale) shouldve run up on (Pierce) and wrapped him up. "Just like their linebacker didnt run up and wrap up our quarterback, he launched on him. But its different when youre in the backfield throwing the ball than when youre running." Lemon didnt practise Monday and his status remains unclear for Torontos game in Edmonton on Friday. If Lemon cant play, backup Dalton Bell would start. "It was knocked split so hes getting it repaired," Barker said of Lemon. "Its very serious, chance of infection and all those kinds of things. "Well see how he is. Im not going to put him in danger and this is a lot more serious than having a tooth pop out. This was a split nerve. He got his helmet hit by the other players helmet and it knocked his helmet off and broke his tooth." http://www.uspackersnfl.com/Packers-Eddie-Lacy-Nike-Jersey/. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the league has not announced the details of Millers violation. The manipulation attempt was first reported by ESPN. Millers six-game suspension was a compromise among the NFL, the players union and Millers representatives; the league wanted a longer penalty for the third-year player. http://www.uspackersnfl.com/Packers-Davon-House-Nike-Jersey/.ca asked you why you love the Canadian Football League.
