I've played both up front and as a CB. Personally, don't see much wrong with putting a bit of a hit on somebody when making a tackle. Bit of a physical challenge never hurt anybody. A body check on the ball, let's them know you're tbere and that if they want an easy game, they ain't getting it. Works both ways though.

But there's a difference between a physical challenge and a dangerous tackle with potential to break somebodies leg.

I guess, as has been mentioned, we trust the officials to police it, and there mustn't be too much wrong with his game of he has avoided suspension, and that's with numerous different referees officiating.
