The fact is the Saints blatantly broke a rule and I am not condoning their actions, it isn't the Coach's job to offer extra incentive for players to harm other players. Whether or not the punishment is just or too harsh is not up to me, I won't comment either way on it. But I simply can't be convinced otherwise that the actions of a player brutally tackling another player is worse than stealing signals, since that does damage the integrity and balance of the game. As you pointed out this is a contact sport, and many players play angry and want to cause pain. Also I don't like it when someone has to mention that today's players are bigger and stronger than before, which would mean the players getting hit are just as big and strong and fast.. so the end result won't be too different, particularly with our upgraded gear.</blockquote>
