Raiders quarterback Terrelle Pryor wants the NFL to crack down on the man who gave him a concussion.

Pryor said Broncos linebacker Wesley Woodyard hit him with an “illegal” shot, and the NFL should do something about it.

I think he should get fined, definitely,” Pryor said, via the Denver Post.

Not everyone agrees. In fact, even Raiders coach Dennis Allen said he was fine with the way Woodyard hit his quarterback.

I didn’t see anything wrong with the hit,” Allen said. “I mean it was in the tackle box, so we’ll see whether or not that’s the lining up of the player within the tackle box it’s really legal.”

The officials on the field obviously didn’t see anything wrong with the hit either because they didn’t throw a flag. But Pryor hopes the folks in the league office will feel differently.
