http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/08/26/mike-munchak-wants-bernard-pollard-to-play-smarter/“I can’t change the way I play football,” Pollard said, via John Glennon of theTennessean. “These guys have never played, and they don’t understand how fast this game is. We’ve got a split second to make a decision, as far as how we’re making that tackle. I hit him in the shoulder pad and I barely grazed that.”
Titans coach Mike Munchak thought the unnecessary roughness call for a hit onJulio Jones was incorrect, but he also said he wants to see Pollard avoid situations that give officials an opportunity to throw a flag.
“We can’t have those,” Munchak said. “We have to be careful. Even if it’s close to being a call, especially on someone they know is aggressive … that probably adds something to it. It shouldn’t, but I’m sure it does. So he has to play smarter. There’s no way around that. You can’t have 15-yard penalties in this game. It’s hard enough to win as it is. We can’t help an offense by doing that.”
i.e. keep the fines below 100K this year
