No one can accuse the Bucs Defense of not trying.

If Goldson layed that Ryan’s hit on Floyd. He would have been suspended 4 games. The hit was deemed legal. It sure looked like crown down to me. Or that Mathew’s hit. The Nfl would have deemed that intent to injure if Goldson did it. The NFL simply need’s to put sensors in the helmet. If a hit happen’s and the sensors detect’s that the crown was down. A Flag get’s thrown. Take the judgement call out of the game. If the ear hole and the crown hole are parrallel with the field. The player is blind with his crown down. I seen at least 10 similar play’s to Goldsons hit on Sproles. With different outcomes. Martin could have gotten an offencive crown down penelty when he dropped the boom on a Saint’s defender.

It’s funny that Polian uses John Lynch as an example of past hits that the NFL called out. Lynch would be a so so safety in today’s NFL after his adjustments to “fair play”. What made him so great was that receivers feared his hits.
