Giants LB Beason: Flag QB's for throwing into big-hit areas

The NFL has been on a crusade against big and violent hits for several years. And Giants linebacker Jon Beason has a new and radical (and likely impossible) idea to solve some of that problem: Fine quarterbacks for throwing into big-hit areas.

Beason made the wild suggestion Monday. The league routinely fines defenders for illegal hits; a half-joking Beason suggested that defenders wouldn't deliver such hits if if quarterback passes didn't lead receivers straight into trouble.

"In my opinion, I think they should flag the quarterbacks for throwing the ball there," Beason said.
