The NFL continues to search for balance with violence.
It has adopted rules forbidding spear tackles, helmet-to-helmet strikes and clothes lines. It has partnered with youth football organizations to teach proper tackling techniques, with Seattle coach Pete Carroll among those emphasizing shoulder strikes similar to those used in rugby.
But you can't legislate out all of the nasty hits. The sport, at its core, remains a physical, brutish activity.
Which leads me to today's unsolicited advice: Get over it Sam Bradford.
In case you missed it — not watching every preseason snap is actually a sign of sanity — Baltimore's Terrell Suggs hit the Eagles quarterback on his knees after a handoff to running back Darren Sproles.
