Long did duck into the tackle but yeah throwing him to the ground should have resulted in a couple of weeks. If Long got concussion from that he'd be facing 3 weeks too
Just because he ducked doesn't mean he is free to do what ever he wants!
When the crack down on ducking became a thing, there was also a foot note that said the tackler still had a duty of care and had to stop if the tackle had the potential to cause damage.
Well he tackled him around the neck, okay. But to then drag him head first into the turf, WTF!
