In scrimmage situations while in pads hitting is permitted but no one goes full out.  

However, on the first play in practice against the offense I suggest the defensive line just run a full out full strength bull rush into the offensive line; just knock them on their rear ends.  Hard.  Those offensive linemen might even get up angry — and they need to play that way.  I have no idea why the Bengals even pay for those sled-like blocking apparatuses when the line always moves backwards!

I figured you were gonna say put em in front of a firing squad.

I have no idea why they have those blocking sleds still ? They need some red capes and spanish music.
