Titans Defense Needs to Duck

Former Oregon RB LeGarrette Blount made famous for punching a Boise St player last year for taunting him appears to be at it again.  Wednesday night at Titans practice Blount took a swing at a defensive player he said was being overly aggressive.
     Blount said "Two plays in a row they pulled my helmet off intentionally, and then they did it again,'' Blount told the Tennessean. "They almost do it every day. They grab you by the back of the head and pull your helmet off. They know that automatically calls the play dead. They kept egging on and provoking 'til it got to a certain point. They did it to everybody.''


I am not sure that he knows that defenses in games will be attempting to do the same if not more.  I understand that throwing a punch in an NFL Training Camp is not a big deal.  Does it happen on a semi normal basis, probably but does that excuse Blount for showing his anger management issues again?  It is clear that he is not in control of his emotions when he gets upset.  If sitting out a year of college for a punch didn't teach him a lesson then will he ever learn?
