I don't see why Whitner wasn't a more desired FA option this offseason. Box safeties are relatively easy to find, but he's a tackle machine.
I think, but not sure, that helmet to helmet is only against a defenseless receiver. Once they lower their head and start running they're fair game.
Alex Smith was hit in the helmet on that fumble. If that was Cushing or Watt it would of been a flag and a automatic first down followed by a 15k fine.
I want one of these super athlete TEs. James Casey is a mismatch, but he won't outrun many people with his 4.7 speed.
