NFL commissioner Roger Goodell sent a memo to teams last week, reminding them the league is “minimizing contact to the head and neck, especially where a defenseless player is involved.” “If you aim for the bottom of the numbers, the odds are, in 99 percent of the cases, you’re going to be fine. When you have egregious examples, such as we saw in the Baltimore-New England game, those need to be penalized. It has to change, but everybody knew that coming into (this season).” “The world has changed in your business,” he said. “You get a snapshot, which people presume is the entire spectrum, and it really isn’t.” The proliferation of broadcasted highlights has Bob Sanders Jersey made the hits seem more rampant than they actually are, Polian said. The Colts have two of the hardest hitters in football – linebacker Clint Session and safety Bob Sanders Jersey – but team president Bill Polian doesn’t want or expect them to change the way they play. “(Tennessee’s) Jeff Fisher, who is a great coach Bob Sanders Jersey and an expert on defensive-backfield play and (overall) defense, pointed out in March that all you have to do is change your aiming point,” Polian said. So Polian still expects the Colts (4-2) to hit, and hit Bob Sanders Jersey hard, when they resume play Nov. 1 against Houston (4-2). Colts president: TV replays show ‘snapshot,’ not ‘whole spectrum’ While the NFL’s reinforcement of the rules seemed a reaction to a series of gruesome hits last Sunday, some of them, like the one doled out Bob Sanders Jersey by Pittsburgh’s James Harrison on Cleveland’s Joshua Cribbs, were ultimately deemed legal. “We were very clear when we made these changes this past March,” he said, “that hard hits were still going to be in the game. What we wanted to do was prevent the targeting of the head and neck areas for defenseless players.” “No, I don’t think so,” he said. To help “emphasize the importance Bob Sanders Jersey of teaching safe and controlled techniques, and of playing within the rules,” Goodell wrote, there will be enhanced discipline, including suspensions, for those who violate the mandates. Polian sees few illegal hits As a member of the NFL’s competition committee, Polian was involved in the rules changes made in March, which dictated a defensive player must give a receiver time to protect himself before he is hit high. What the league was trying to avoid were the helmet-to-helmet hits on defenseless players, like the one New England’s Brandon Meriweather doled out to Baltimore’s Todd Heap last week. “I watch three to four games, per week, on tape. My answer (is), ‘No, I’ve seen a decrease,’ ” Polian said. “But the (recent) publicized hits have gotten a lot of publicity. I think overall, particularly defensive backs have changed their Bob Sanders Jersey approach. They’ve been aiming lower and realizing that these points of emphasis have existed. That’ll be the case going forward.” And Polian said he hasn’t seen an increase in the number of illegal hits this season. Justin A. Cohn | The Journal Gazette |
