Quote:Apples and oranges in my opinion, but the commish obviously agrees with your take.


I'd like to see it changed to where a coach can review helmet to helmet hits; if it is deemed to be intentional, I'd like to see the player ejected and given a big fine. For accidental contact though, I think a 15 yard penalty for an accident is quite enough.


Goodell made 50 plus million last year. I'll do the job for half that.

 

I read the competition committee did think about reviewing HTH hits for that purpose, but the proposal did not live very long. Hopefully someday they will revisit the idea. However in college football I have noticed a few players were ejected when it looked to me like the review should have overturned the ruling on the field. Telvin Smith would have been kicked out for that play if the NFL had a similar rule.

 

Something else that needs to change is the definition of a defenseless player. There is no way you can call Andre Johnson a defenseless player when he is protecting himself from the linebacker.
