I've raised that point a time or two on various threads. This is exactly the bottom line. No one fears them because they can't cheap shot folks and get away with it anymore. It's obvious their demise coincided with the crack down on helmet to helmet hits. No more "keeping your head on a swivel".
And the league is better for it. I saw Polumalu (who I thought was incredible) knock himself out leading with his helmet. That guy never raised his head....always led with it. He is going to be the next Merrill Hoge and not know how to find his way home in 20 years. Sad.
