Besides, one of the duties of a safety is to make any WR very nervous about coming over the middle. He MUST make him pay!!
Is that the way Junior Rosegreen made Reggie Brown pay in 2004, or the way Keenan Jones made Mikey Henderson pay in the Sugar Bowl? Rosegreen knocked Reggie unconscious, while Jones ended Mikey Henderson's football career.
Hits to the helmet are dangerous and can seriously injure a player. I don't care how rough a sport football is, and I agree that sometimes referees protect both passers and receivers too much, but hits to the helmet must be prevented. Period.
