Yeah we all love big hits but the NFL doesn't. I think guys are going to have to do shoulder to shoulder/chest hits now, and they're going to have to change their approach. The NFL is recognizing it needs to do more than fine players, so suspensions are the next logical step.

I just don't want to see any players go shoulder to shoulder/chest, and get fined/suspended/flagged for it if the official thought it looked helmet to helmet. I don't trust the refs enough to be able to tell in a moments notice whether it was helmet to helmet or not.
