I'm all for leveling punishing hits on any and all players who set foot on the field, including QBs, kickers, holders, etc. If you don't want to take a tee shot, you shouldn't be out there.
But this hit was from the blindside. On an engaged player. And helmet-to-helmet. Should result in an ejection and fine. If the League weren't preoccupied with players' shoes.
I like to call a hit in the chest coming from the direction the "victim" is going "from the blindside" - that's what I like to do. I also enjoy calling something "helmet to helmet" when just the facemask of one helmet and part of the other guy's shoulder was involved, and the primary contact was shoulder to chest.
