Far be it from me to seem like the voice of reason on anything, but ... it seems like there's a fairly simple line here.
I'm a hard hits/big hits guy (assuming you actually make the tackle/play of course). I'm in the "football has been overwussified recently" camp.
That said, the line for me is somewhere around rewarding intent to injure - I don't mean knock goofy, I mean take out a knee/detach a retina kind of stuff - versus making a meaningful play that doesn't end a guy's season/career.
Just based on the stuff I've read so far, it appears that the Saints program crossed that line into being less about football and more about decimation.
