Is the NFL softening up?

That seems to be the way it's going. I can certainly understand wanting to prevent severe injury but it's getting ridiculous. I know why they want to protect the QB but that's what the o-line is for isn't it? I personally like defense and love the contact. In fact, I like nothing better than seeing the opposing QB get his bell rung. A cheap shot? Then throw them out of the game and suspend them if need be, but if you can't take a hit, play golf.
