“I know he (Dashon Goldson) has had a lot of those,” Drew Brees said after Wednesday’s practice. “He certainly has no regard for the rules in the middle (of the field). He is going after guys heads ... you can see it.”

Tampa Bay Bucs safety Dashon Goldson may have gotten a reprieve from a one-game suspension for a helmet-to-helmet hit on New Orleans Saints running back Darren Sproles, but he didn’t get any breaks from Drew Brees.

Goldson’s hit was one of three personal foul calls the Bucs drew in the second quarter with defensive end Adrian Clayborn and safety Ahmad Black also delivering helmet-to-helmet blows.

Brees took a violent hit from Clayborn on a sack and Black crunched Saints tight end Jimmy Graham while being dragged to the ground by another defender after he couldn’t bring in a pass from Brees over the middle.

“It was obvious they were going at his head,” Brees said. “I have no sympathy for that. I care for those guys, and I don’t want to see that happen to our guys.

“I know the rules and I know it is tough playing the safety position in the middle,” he added. “Things happen fast, but then again, there are some instances where it is pretty obvious a guy was going for another guy’s head. That happened on at least two occasions in our game.”
