So protecting players' heads from a couple of games of concussion is good, but blowing out their knees which could cost them the rest of the season or career is fair game?
I didnt make the rules, but I would imagine the smart coaching is teaching players how to hit properly without drawing a roughing, personal etc foul.

This game has changed, I mean how many times during games to we see stand up sacks?

Stand up sacks meaning often times Defensive player on sack just holds the QB up until the whistle blows.

So how do you coach these players to tackle less aggressively, this is a fast and violent game and players are bigger, stronger and faster every year.

There is already targeting to the helmet in the rules, so why not just make targeting the entire body of the QB.

Aikman was absolutely correct when stating that they need to take the dresses off.
