Re: NFL Might Suspend Players for Violent Hits

There is no 'might' suspend people for illegal/dangerous hits. This offseason they will change the rules and make it mandatory suspension for head to head deliberate shots. Goddell already said so.
The Desean Jackson hit happened so fast and in such small space, that hit was not deliberately dangerous hit and with intent to hurt. The problem with that hit is they put it on super slow motion and of course it might look bad.
The Steeler LB (i forget hi name) hit where he hit the Brown player in the ear hole was deliberate and he should be suspended.
One of the problems I see is offensive players that are running with the ball tend to put their heads down and bull forward. Now that is dangerous as well. Some helmet to helmet hits are not deliberate and should not be penalized. Creating dangerous plays is on both sides of the ball and defensive players should not be the only ones to be singled out.
