The Refs and these rules have effectively ended the position of free safety.
Safetys are just cornerbacks now, playing deep without impact.
Having a aggressive, hard hitting safety this day and age is more of a liability than it is a bonus.
They get called for PI/Holding an absurd amount
If they hit a WR, they will get flagged
If they hit a WR hard, they will also likely get kicked out of the game
And then they will face a huge fine.
These refs and the league have changed the fabric of the game. Sean Taylor, John Lynch, Atwater, Lott....gone.
