Jim,

We cannot call what we think happen. We have to call what we know happen. And unless there is a better angle, I am not going to call what I think just took place. There are a lot of plays I was unsure about only to see tape back me up that I was right to not call something. We have to be careful by just calling something we think happens because we think someone might get hurt. Football is a violent game and there are a lot of ways to get hurt other than this type of contact. I have fortunately never seen a kid get hurt as a result of a helmet to helmet contact. I hope I never will, but I am not going to call a foul on a legal hit and the fear that someone is going to get hurt by that legal hit. That is not our job to protect players from all injuries in the game of football. The game is hard enough for us to take that responsibility and this coach in my opinion is putting too much responsibility on the calling of one foul.

Peace
