[QUOTE="DTown SBrown, post: 310548, member: 2206"] "Though it appeared that Patriots safety [URL="http://www.rotoworld.com/content/playerpages/player_main.aspx?sport=NFL&id=4199"]Brandon Meriweather[/URL] could be suspended for his incredibly flagrant helmet-to-helmet hit on Ravens tight end [URL="http://www.rotoworld.com/content/playerpages/player_main.aspx?sport=NFL&id=2218"]Todd Heap[/URL], the NFL ultimately decided that it wouldn't be proper to suspend players retroactively. "If you're going to establish an elevated level of discipline and accountability, which may include higher fines and/or a suspension, some fairness dictates that you give players and coaches and organizations some very clear advance notice of your intention to do that," NFL V.P. of football operations Ray Anderson said on the latest edition of the [URL="http://richeisen.nfl.com/2010/10/19/the-rich-eisen-podcast-ep-6-jon-gruden-dennis-miller-and-ray-anderson/"]Rich Eisen Podcast[/URL].

"A communication will go to the clubs, coaches, and players [on Wednesday] about the increased discipline for violations of player safety rules." It's the right approach.
