I have mixed feelings on these.
For one, the helmet to helmet hits deserve the worst punishment. They are extremely dangerous and many of them are intentional (notice the lack of an absolute). I think we can do without these in the NFL. I think these players should be fined and suspended, just as the NFL plans to do.
In regards to the "violent hits," I think this is ridiculous. I mean, come on, this is football. It's a rough sport that is meant to be full of contact. If it's not helmet to helmet, it's fine by me. I don't want players to get hurt, but those hits are awesome, to me it's a big part of football. For example, the hit on Desean Jackson was a legitimate defensive play on the ball, if a receiver is going to catch the ball, you hit them so that they drop it. That's how it works. Kevin Kolb takes all the blame for that, it's on your QB to not throw you under the bus like that. James Harrison's hit? Helmet to helmet. That guy is a dirty player and if he can't accept the fine that goes with hitting someone like that, then he can retire, the NFL doesn't need players like that. I'm sorry if anyone feels differently.
So, all in all, I think you can hit hard and play good old football without going head to head, literally. Sooner or later, NFL players are going to hesitate and offenses will just march down the field. On top of that, the refs are so bad, that penalties will be called on every single down. As a last note, none of this affects us because we never get calls anyways, we'll just be penalized more.
