I don't think that hit would have occurred if not for the NFL kickoff rule, and I wouldn't be surprised to see more hits like that after touchdowns. When the majority of kickoffs go out of the endzone, does it really matter if you deck them?

Also, injuries are up this year(which could probably be accounted to the lockout). Something else though I don't think Goodell and some of the people on the rules committee realize is that injuries usually occur with stuff that happens in a very small window, players leaving their leg in a place it can be rolled over, getting an arm caught in the wrong place, etc. When a player is constantly thinking about how to hit players instead of how to position their bodies, they leave themselves vulnerable, and end up putting themselves in illogical positions just to avoid being flagged.

The thing I don't think the rules committee realizes a lot of times is the rules they pass often effect other areas of the game other than just the intended target.
