yep good stuff.  Last week I was on the other side of one of these safety arguements preaching against the full speed blind side hits that can more times than not injure a guy vs. this when injury happens much less often, if you're smart about the way you play.  You can control what happens by your actions vs. the blind side hit when it's out of your control and a total surprise.

Anyone ok with that type hit better not be for this radical change to the game. I can't believe for the life of me that so many are ok with fundementally altering a big part and nature of the game that would in effect wussify and partially change the character of the game.  Change up some of the rules for kick offs sure, as discussed elsewhere in this thread, to make it safer, but to get rid of such a big part of the game would be complete overkill.

When you're a player you live for special teams and to be able to be a part of this unit and be the wedge buster.  You just gotta be smart when you do it, serve yourself up but not in a way to leave yourself open to injury.  It can be done, I did it, loved it. Such a huge part of the game that I can't imagine not being a part of it anymore, heres a vote for change but not this radical.
