I see offensive attitudes and Defensive attitudes differently and they have different needs.

offense - Needs a I will catch the ball because i am going to get hit anyway sort of mentality.

defense - If I am going to hit someone I want his teeth scattered on the turff like chick-lets... even if he doesnt have the ball.

I can't help but notice the hypocrisy in your statements here. I believe it was yesterday, maybe the day before, that you were arguing with me about my dislike for the new helmet to helmet rule, because I don't like the grey area that exists with that kind of thing.

You gave me all this talk about how players shouldn't lead with the crown of their helmet (which I agree with, if it is intentional, but often it's not), and now you're arguing with me over James Harrison's propensity to try to knock guys heads off. Which, by the way, he almost always leads with the crown of his helmet. You're now telling me that this is acceptable in his case, because we need his "grit". I love big hits, but I see this guy aim for the head with great regularity. I don't respect that.

I'm sure you'll try to tell me that I misunderstood you somehow, but I assure you, I have not.

	If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.
