But I think the CBA with its rules about limiting padded practices and hitting really hurts the game. The product is not like I remember in the mid 2000s when a Sean Taylor hit could be celebrated for both the ferocity and the perfect form of the tackle.

I think the lack of practice time leads to a lot of mistakes, which shows in the form of penalties. I would love to see stats to confirm my thoughts here but I feel like we see flags all the damn time. Personal fouls for hitting, lots more holding, it reflects a declining quality of the play.

I think they need to practice more.

Ok and I am not disagreeing here but a question,how do you feel about preseason games?I stated before and I'll say it again the first three to four weeks of the season are still a preseason mode,players are still not into "game shape".
