Looking at the laws, the question seems to be whether there was a "high degree of danger" in the tackle. WR have defined a high degree of danger as any of the following:
Based on that I'm not sure that there is a high degree of danger in that tackle, more likely a yellow than a red. But as WR are trying to protect ball carriers in situations like this and it was a particularly lazy effort from Beale I don't think he can be too aggrieved.The tackler draws the arm back prior to contact
The tackler may leave the ground
Arm swings forward prior to contact
The tackler is attempting an active/dominant tackle, as opposed to passive/soak, or “pulling out” of contact
The tackler speed and/or acceleration into tackle is high
Rigid arm or elbow makes contact with BC head as part of a swinging motion Contact
The tackler completes the tackle (as opposed to immediate release/withdrawal)

Red seems harsh, it's high and to the face but unintentially so, got caught out by the receiver juggling the pass.
“Facts are meaningless. You could use facts to prove anything that's even remotely true.”
Look at the front-on view. Kurtley's bicep hits him in the jaw. Swinging arm, contact to head, not a slip up. That's a red these days, folks. 'Intent' is irrelevant, and especially when it's 'reckless' like this.
Mitigating factors that can be considered were also not present: drop in body height, unsighted, or reactionary. He had time, poorly lined up, recklessly executed.

It’s high. Some face contact. Knocked the player on his arse. All of those could be red on their own.Ymx wrote: Mon Sep 14, 2020 7:36 pm That’s a seriously screwed up call. I’d not even have thought a yellow.
Hand gripping shoulder, perhaps a little contact with face from arm, but very little. And it certainly wasn’t forcefully driving through. Pathetic.
Together in this instance a penalty alone would be ridiculously lenient.
