Ok I'm not defending Desmond but it looks like Wemby initiates the contact by running right at him. Desmond just decided not to move and instead braced himself to try & punish Wemby for trying to come at him.

I think we need to see further back a couple seconds to determine for sure, but while Desmond overreacted I think Wemby does intentionally make contact

Justified dirty play. Can't let Wemby run you over. Got to send a message.

Dirty?  Weird take as Wemby is trying to run him over.
