What would type of penalty would you call in this situation? Are you saying you're going to flag a player for tackling someone too hard? There's nothing illegal about "slamming" a player to the ground during a tackle. That is, it's not illegal unless it occurs during a dead ball or violates some other rule such as a face mask violation.

Unless he's "slammed" after the ball becomes dead, I'm not going to have a penalty because a player got takcled too hard. Just my personal opinion.
