I am in favor of keeping the players safe and limiting the type of hits that are allowed, but I think the NFL has been going way too far lately. Unsuspecting player? I can’t wait to see the definition of that. If you step onto a football field you better suspect you are going to get hit. The Clifton hit happens all the time in football. Everyone knows that after an interception, the O players are fair game for the D players. The Williams tackle, again part of the game. That type of hit doesn’t directly injure a player. If T.O.’s foot didn’t catch on the turf we wouldn’t be talking about it. There already is a penalty for the Foster hit - Clipping. Cutting is part of the game but I do think that it does cause a lot of injuries. I’m not really sure how to clean it up though. Anyway, good to see some football talk.
