You're coming across the middle man...you better know where the linebackers are.

Yea I think this is a case of traditional behavior vs where the NFL is going.

For the longest time, the receiver was to blame if he wasn't aware of where the defenders were at when coming across the middle.
However, the NFL seems to want to change that mindset, instead blaming the defender for hitting a receiver who is looking at the QB/ball rather than where he's going.
