But you want us to believe that if the league accused your players of trying to injure players when there was no proof or even injuries, you'd just calmly accept that.

Yeah, I believe that.

Twist myself into a knot?

1. Defenseless receiver rules are ridiculous. It simply isn't something a defender can adjust to, and it isn't something a coach can prepare for outside of telling his guys not to hit players when they catch the ball. Any coach who says he tells his guys not to hit receivers coming down with a ball or going for a catch should be fired on the spot.

2. Against Jackson, the initial contact was with his shoulder, there wasn't helmet to helmet contact, and he didn't launch himself while making the tackle. Jackson had both feet on the ground with the ball when the hit was made. The penalty was for hitting a defenseless receiver, nothing else. You want my opinion on that, please see #1.

3. Against Maclin, initial contact was made by Dunta with his helmet when Maclin turned and was clipped on the chin, otherwise it would have been initial contact with his shoulder. Is it dumb for Robinson to put his head down when he does this? Yes. However, he's done this numerous times against other ball carriers and it's always a shoulder tackle.
